House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has a new gig to add to her resume: “Drag Race All Stars” guest judge.
VH1 announced this week that the upcoming third season of RuPaul’s hit series will feature guest judges among its regulars. The California Democrat will critique contestants alongside Vanessa Williams, actor Tituss Burgess and others, Entertainment Weekly reported Thursday.
Mrs. Pelosi’s contribution to the show comes in the wake of RuPaul’s assertion that President Trump is an obstacle to cultural progress.
“The Trump administration has come to represent the resistance to moving forward,” the star told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2017. “That’s what the code words ’make America great again’ are really saying. ’Let’s go back in time to when we didn’t have to evolve and that we could just languish in our ignorance.’ “
“She had a ’fabulous’ time,” a spokesman for the lawmaker told The Washington Post on Thursday.
“Drag Race All Stars 3” premieres Thursday, Jan. 25, at 8 p.m. EST on VH1.
