00:00 I feel like we're all winners because we get to see
00:01 Jimbo shake her lovely tatas.
00:03 Yeah.
00:04 Do it again.
00:05 Let's all do it.
00:06 Let's all do it.
00:07 Yes.
00:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:11 We are going to put this year's class of Drag Race Prize
00:14 winners through another competition of Drag Race,
00:17 Emmys Trivia, in celebration of the show's nominations
00:20 for Outstanding Competition Program
00:22 and Outstanding Host for a Reality Competition Program
00:24 for Mama RuPaul, among many other nominations.
00:27 Lala, you have participated in this in the past,
00:29 so I know you know how this goes and how chaotic it can sometimes
00:32 get because you are all playing for a very sweet prize.
00:36 There is a prize involved in this.
00:37 And for this edition, there are no teams.
00:40 You can all just yell out the answer.
00:42 The first one to get it gets a point.
00:45 And at the end, we will dish out our lovely prize.
00:49 Question number one-- and you can just yell out the answer.
00:52 RuPaul began his winning streak for Outstanding Host
00:55 for a Reality Competition Program
00:57 in 2016, breaking a two-year winning streak of another game
01:00 show host who also happens to be a queer icon.
01:04 Who won this category two years running before RuPaul?
01:09 A queer host.
01:12 Not everybody's saying not gay rights today.
01:16 Was it Carson Kressley?
01:18 It was not.
01:20 Did you say Carson Kressley?
01:23 Who is an Emmy winner, by the way?
01:24 It was a game show or a reality show?
01:26 It was a game show.
01:28 Is it the one from Survivor?
01:30 No, he's straight.
01:31 He's straight and married.
01:32 He's so straight.
01:35 This person is also known for a musically themed television
01:41 show that is no longer on the air.
01:43 One of its-- or a few of its, actually, graduates, I think,
01:46 have gone on to do Broadway shows.
01:48 So like Glee?
01:49 Paula Abdul.
01:50 Yes, Glee star Paula Abdul.
01:52 [LAUGHTER]
01:54 Oh my gosh, you're awful.
01:56 A queer game show host?
01:59 She is--
02:02 No.
02:03 Ellen?
02:04 Ellen, Ellen, Ellen.
02:05 [LAUGHTER]
02:09 Gay?
02:09 No, girl.
02:12 She is also a star of many Christopher Guest films.
02:15 Once played Jennifer Coolidge's love interest.
02:21 I don't know.
02:21 I'm just guessing.
02:24 She played Jennifer Coolidge's love interest in Best in Show.
02:27 Wanda Sykes.
02:28 [LAUGHTER]
02:33 OK, her name begins with a J.
02:35 Grace Mansfield.
02:36 [LAUGHTER]
02:39 Her last name begins with an L.
02:41 Jennifer Lopez.
02:42 [LAUGHTER]
02:44 J-A--
02:46 Erky.
02:48 J-A-N--
02:49 Jane--
02:50 Janis Jekyll?
02:51 No.
02:52 No.
02:52 Jane Lynch.
02:54 Yes, Sasha, yes, finally.
02:56 Oh my gosh.
02:57 Coach Susan Lester.
02:58 Who?
02:58 That's right.
02:59 OK, I don't even know who that is.
03:01 Oh my gosh.
03:02 Yeah, so she won for Hollywood Game Night.
03:04 Sorry to Miss Jane, because apparently nobody
03:06 knew who she was.
03:08 I've never been to that show.
03:09 We were too busy auditioning for Drag Race, all right?
03:12 [LAUGHTER]
03:13 Next question, how many times has RuPaul
03:16 won the Emmy for Outstanding Host for a reality competition
03:19 program?
03:20 20 times.
03:20 Seven.
03:21 13.
03:22 I think Sasha said it.
03:23 What did you say?
03:24 Yes, Sasha got it.
03:25 Yes.
03:26 Wow, Sasha.
03:27 [LAUGHTER]
03:29 Very competitive, y'all.
03:31 This next one is an easy one, too.
03:33 Three past Drag Race contestants have
03:35 also won individual Emmys.
03:38 Who are they, and what did they win for?
03:40 Raven won for makeup.
03:42 Delta for hair.
03:45 And-- oh, what the [BLEEP] is her name?
03:48 Laila McQueen.
03:49 Laila McQueen for--
03:50 Oh, my god.
03:51 --for makeup.
03:52 Yeah.
03:53 Yes, yes, Rainbow gets a point.
03:54 Yes, yes, yes.
03:56 Which contestant from your respective seasons
03:58 do you think deserves an Emmy for acting?
04:00 Oh, that [BLEEP] Alexis Michelle.
04:03 Yes!
04:04 [LAUGHTER]
04:07 Do we have any other answers?
04:09 Mistress for acting up.
04:11 Candy Muse for being such a low game player.
04:15 Yes.
04:17 That's Oscar level there.
04:18 One Drag Race personality has appeared in front of the camera
04:22 in several fan-favorite segments,
04:24 but has been nominated for four Emmys for his behind-the-scenes
04:28 work on the show.
04:29 Name this person and his drag alter ego.
04:32 Sarge.
04:34 Yes.
04:35 Oh.
04:36 Winter.
04:37 Malaysia, second part of the question.
04:39 Winter, right?
04:41 Wintergreen?
04:42 Yes!
04:42 [APPLAUSE]
04:43 Yay!
04:44 I got one.
04:45 Wait.
04:46 Was Sarge there for-- Sarge was there for both season
04:48 15 and All Stars 8?
04:49 Yeah.
04:50 No, I think he was on vacation.
04:52 I talked to him every day.
04:53 Yeah.
04:54 You were on vacation?
04:55 I guess.
04:57 I came to cruise.
04:58 Why is he known for getting everybody?
05:01 I think he came at the end.
05:02 Do you all have any, like, good memories
05:05 of Sarge from your seasons?
05:07 Like, I know he gets into some, like, really fun
05:09 stuff behind the scenes.
05:09 So, like, do you have any special memories
05:11 of Sarge on every season?
05:13 I remember from our season, for the ball challenge,
05:16 me and Anitra was sewing next to each other.
05:18 And you know, of course, like, with COVID, like, they
05:20 have on a mask or whatever.
05:21 So you can't really see anybody's reaction
05:24 if they're laughing or anything.
05:25 I was in my beginning sewing era or whatever like that.
05:28 So Anitra was helping me.
05:29 And you know, when sewing sequence,
05:31 like, the needle breaks super easy.
05:34 And I literally was, like, breaking, like, 13 needles.
05:38 And, like, Sarge was, like, looking.
05:39 And he was like-- he was like, y'all need goggles.
05:42 Y'all need goggles.
05:44 And, like, he went and got us, like, goggles
05:46 because the needles kept breaking.
05:47 Me and Anitra had on, like, goggles, like, sewing.
05:49 So the needles went flying in our eye.
05:51 It was really cute and fun.
05:53 I was like-- you know, because they never really talked
05:54 to you behind the camera.
05:56 So I was like, oh, that was nice.
05:58 Mother Wintergreen.
05:59 OK, bonus point.
06:00 Yes or no, does Sarge belong on "All Stars" as Wintergreen?
06:02 Yes.
06:03 Period.
06:04 Selena, I think I heard Selena say it first.
06:06 So--
06:06 [LAUGHTER]
06:09 The last question.
06:10 RuPaul and Michelle Visage are not the only drag race
06:14 judges to have Emmys.
06:16 Oops, I think I spoiled this earlier, but--
06:18 Kirsten Kressley.
06:19 [INTERPOSING VOICES]
06:20 Of course.
06:20 [LAUGHTER]
06:22 Jimbo gets a point.
06:24 Not Jimbo and Sasha in a tie.
06:26 Oh, wait, are we in a--
06:27 oh, Jimbo and Sasha are in a tie.
06:28 Ooh.
06:29 Is that true?
06:31 Jimbo and Sasha, you are in a tie.
06:33 Name one other host that is nominated against RuPaul
06:35 in the host category.
06:36 Oh.
06:37 Oh, Nicole Byer.
06:39 Jimbo wins!
06:39 [CHEERING]
06:41 [LAUGHTER]
06:44 I was rooting for you.
06:45 I was rooting for you for season 15.
06:48 I feel like we're all winners because we get to see
06:50 Jimbo shake her lovely tatas.
06:52 Yeah.
06:53 Do it again.
06:54 Let's all do it.
06:55 Let's all do it.
06:55 Yes, yes, yes.
06:56 All right, last, in the great tradition of EW's Emmys
07:01 roundtable, where we have regularly
07:03 asked Simone, two years in a row,
07:05 to identify several Jennifers after she mixed up
07:08 Jennifers Lawrence and Lewis during the season 13
07:11 Snatch Game.
07:12 We are indeed, in her absence, doing this again.
07:15 Another round of--
07:16 Name that Jennifer!
07:21 It's like music to my ears.
07:22 OK, Selena, you will have three seconds
07:24 to name all of these Jennifers.
07:26 OK, let's go.
07:28 Who is this?
07:29 Oh, Jennifer Poulsen?
07:32 Does Sarah Poulsen have a sister?
07:34 Because it looks like her.
07:35 I don't know who that is.
07:37 That's Jennifer--
07:39 This is hard.
07:40 Belmont.
07:41 I don't know who that is.
07:43 Oh, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
07:45 Oh, Jennifer Love Hewitt, correct.
07:46 This is Jennifer Tilly.
07:49 [LAUGHTER]
07:51 I don't know who that is.
07:53 This is--
07:53 [INAUDIBLE]
07:55 That was not you.
07:56 This is Jennifer Michelle Gellar?
07:59 No!
08:00 Jennifer Garner?
08:02 Jennifer Lewis.
08:03 That's not Jennifer Lewis.
08:05 That's Jennifer Lewis.
08:07 Yes.
08:07 [INAUDIBLE]
08:10 Jennifer Jennifer.
08:12 Jennifer-- she's from that special TV show.
08:15 Oh, oh, Flashdance Girl.
08:17 Flashdance Girl.
08:19 Jennifer-- I don't know.
08:20 Jennifer--
08:21 Jennifer Hilton.
08:23 Yes.
08:23 Jennifer Hudson.
08:24 Jennifer Hudson.
08:25 Because I know all the people that come--
08:27 Malaysia coming in.
08:28 Yes, yes.
08:29 Jennifer Rodrigo?
08:31 Is that Olivia?
08:32 [LAUGHTER]
08:36 Jennifer Coolidge.
08:37 OK, oh.
08:39 Yeah.
08:40 She's great.
08:41 Oh, I don't know who this is.
08:43 Jennifer-- oh, that's Jennifer-- that's the horse face, right?
08:46 Jennifer-- Jennifer--
08:47 [GASP]
08:48 Jennifer--
08:49 Oh.
08:51 Jennifer Laurie.
08:52 Yes, the lesbian.
08:54 Oh, she's from that movie with the girls.
08:57 And they kill each other, right?
08:59 Megan's body.
09:00 Oh, no, she's from T. It's the movie T.
09:02 She got teeth inside of her.
09:05 No, that's it.
09:07 That's it?
09:08 Hold on, because I know Jennifer Tilly, Jennifer Lopez,
09:11 Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Coolidge.
09:16 Apparently, you did not know Jennifer Love Hewitt.
09:19 Oh, was she in there?
09:22 Sorry to these Jennifers, but what a blessing for all of us
09:26 to witness that.
09:26 Selena, thank you so much for doing that.
09:29 Yes, yes, yes.
09:30 I love that your strategy was just,
09:32 when you didn't know the Jennifer,
09:33 was just to say the name Jennifer,
09:34 and then the last name of a different famous Jennifer
09:37 or a different famous person.
09:39 And that was your Jennifer.
09:40 No, she named all them Jennifer Tilly.
09:43 They were all Jennifer Tilly.
09:44 Lala, how did this compare to the past two years
09:48 of Name That Jennifer?
09:49 I'm so proud of my sister Simone, because--
09:51 [LAUGHTER]
09:53 You at least won.
09:56 So the winner for the third consecutive year
09:59 of Name That Jennifer is Simone, who is not even on this.
10:03 Thank you very much, Selena, for participating
10:05 in Name That Jennifer.
10:06 Jimbo, as the overall winner, though,
10:09 are you ready for your prize?
10:10 Yes, I can't wait.
10:12 You get the pleasure of revealing something embarrassing
10:16 or good or funny, like a funny story about someone
10:20 on this panel that you have never revealed before.
10:22 Let's see.
10:23 What is the funnier--
10:25 well, one time, I caught Lala Ree spit shining Alexis
10:31 Michelle's bald patch.
10:33 She did.
10:34 [LAUGHTER]
10:37 She did.
10:38 She did.
10:39 God, I tell you.
10:41 She did.
10:41 She spit polished it.
10:43 She just breathed on it.
10:44 Right after she was ready.
10:45 Yeah.
10:46 Right after she did it.
10:47 [LAUGHTER]
10:50 Yes, I will take that.
10:51 Thank you, Jimbo, for that lovely story.
10:53 Lala has confirmed and corroborated.
10:56 So yes, fans, enter this into the Drag Race canon.
10:59 Who else has-- has anybody else done that on this panel?
11:01 Have we all spit shined?
11:02 Somebody else has spit shined Miss Alexis Michelle,
11:05 but I'm not saying their name.
11:09 What?
11:11 I'm talking about you, Joey.
11:12 I know the-- I heard the rumor.
11:14 [LAUGHTER]
11:17 That has not happened.
11:19 I need to go on the record.
11:20 We cannot confirm and corroborate that.
11:22 No, thank you all for being here and for doing this
11:26 and to celebrate the Emmy success of RuPaul's Drag
11:28 Race this year.
11:29 The Emmys air in January.
11:30 Emmys voters, if you are watching,
11:32 these queens are a testament to the excellence
11:34 that this show puts out into the world.
11:37 So do your thing when balloting begins.
11:39 But for now, we are in our running way over time era.
11:43 So thank you all to everybody.
11:45 Lala Ri, Malaysia BabydollFox, Sasha Colby, Selena Esteriz,
11:50 and Jimbo, thank you all so much for joining us.
11:53 And we'll see you next time.
