“2 Hosts for the Price of 1 Emmy” is the buzz going around the social media world. A campaign has sprung up to push “the academy” to give RuPaul’s Drag Race an Emmy.
I’m going to be honest and say that I am completely biased because RuPaul’s Drag Race is the only show that I care enough about to run home to watch after a full work day. Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent are only a few of the things you get from watching an episode of Drag Race, it is truly unlike any other show on television. It has revolutionized reality television and reshaped the drag community worldwide. Giving people outside of the drag community a place where they can see all of the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into being a drag performer.
Fashion, modeling, performance, creative artistry, body transformation, and more importantly MIND transformation. It beats a show like Project Runway straight out of the gate. The only thing these queens don’t do is cook (which is why I still watch the Food Network religiously)
And let’s not forget Ms. RuPaul herself. Turning it out on each episode and taking these queens under her wing. What other reality show do you know that ends with positive messaging like “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love someone else?” She brings realness to that show that you’re just not gonna find with Jewel hosting Platinum Hit.
There’s already 13,000+ likes on the campaign’s facebook page and I see more and more tweets about it every day. The video they’ve created to promote features Ricky Martin, Judith Light, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Ripa, and so many more telling the Emmy committee that they think Ru deserves an Emmy. Genius move by Logo.
So if you’re like me and believe Drag Race is one of the best shows on TV, get everyone you know to go like that damn page!
Can I get an AMEN?













I think she should HOST The Emmys!
