The television personality, and arguably the most famous drag queen, RuPaul serves as the host and mentor for the television series as he attempts to scout for America’s next “drag superstar.” Over the years, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ has won several awards including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program apart from several others.

The show can be considered to be similar to ‘Project Runway’ and ‘America’s Next Top Model.’ It has been acclaimed for providing a glimpse into the world of drag queens.

The series also highlights the kind of hard work that each of them put in to pull off their fantastic appearance on a regular basis.
