00:00:00My wife told me to take out the trash. I said, I already did. She said, then why are you still
00:00:15here? I went to a restaurant so fancy, even the breadsticks had a reservation. I tried stand-up
00:00:27once. The audience was so quiet, I thought I walked into a library. I'm Murray Hill, and
00:00:34if you liked those jokes, I wrote them. And if you didn't, that was AI. And this is King
00:00:40of Drag.
00:00:57I'm a real king. I'm a real king. Say what you can, huh? I'm a real king. You're
00:01:04in the presence of reality. Come on and get it. Yeah, I'm a real king.
00:01:10Viva Tuna Melt.
00:01:11Tuna Melt.
00:01:12Hey, Tuna Melt!
00:01:14They ain't get to really know Tuna. Even though we know it's a competition, it still shocked
00:01:18me. It was really sad, but also joyful to see him being the first stabbing of the sword
00:01:24with Murray and the huzzah. That was almost me up there. I hate that it took scaring me
00:01:32that bad, but it was, I think, what I needed. And y'all better watch out next week.
00:01:38I ain't sad no more. It's going to die. People have seen me stumble. Now, the pressure is
00:01:45on to pick myself back up and let them see that too. King Molasses, you were our first winner.
00:01:49I'm super excited to keep my dupes up, because I know y'all coming now. I'm nervous. The
00:02:01view from the top is that you're seeing everybody climb for your spot. I'm looking at Big D,
00:02:06and I'm looking at Alexander the Great. Let's see drag, y'all. We're going to shave.
00:02:11The man cave is feeling more like home now that we start to get to see our pieces on the racks.
00:02:29It feels like moving into a part of drag king history. These are so sick. It really feels
00:02:36like it's our man cave. This is my man cave. Me man cave. Me belong. You know, make that
00:02:41big ol' Germanic-ness. I got to peep some of the looks that everyone else has, and strategically,
00:02:47I kept some of my best challenge looks hidden so they don't see all of my cards on the table.
00:02:52What's everyone's names and pronouns? Out of drag. My name's Kat. Any pronouns,
00:02:57and or you can call me Dickless Von Dyke. I currently live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but I'm
00:03:03from St. Louis, Missouri. Love the Midwest. The Minneapolis drag scene is the first place I've
00:03:08ever lived where drag artists can really make a living because it's just like rife with fans.
00:03:14I live in a two-bedroom house. Kat has a bedroom and Dick has a bedroom. Dick is like a best-case
00:03:19scenario for Kat. I still make all the same annoying jokes, but I make them so much louder and more
00:03:25confidently when I'm Dick. Dick is also three inches taller and has perfect vision.
00:03:30I'm Deanna Fleischer. I take she, her pronouns, but there's a lot of hippies in Bellingham
00:03:35who call me Big D out of drag as well. I'm a mom and I work, so I don't get out, period.
00:03:42My path to like accepting myself in a female body has been lifelong. My character work really
00:03:49started to pop on stage after I started really getting into like masculine impersonation.
00:03:53I've been a clown teacher for probably like 18 years. I came up with teaching a drag king comedy workshop
00:03:58as like the next level of my clown work. I use my vulnerabilities and my flaws as a way to create the character that I wear.
00:04:07I'm Trigger Mortis outside of drag and I'm she, they. It's my old roller derby name. It just kind of stuck.
00:04:12I thought I was the oddball, but I met Big D. We're both close to 50. We're both femme presenting out of drag.
00:04:19We both are married to men. My husband is very supportive of me putting my masculine side out there.
00:04:24Living in Texas is a hard thing because all the laws that keep getting passed.
00:04:29I understand when people want to leave, but there's also a need for people to stay and to fight.
00:04:34Buck is like my armor. I'm able to say so much more through Buck than I would be able to say on my own.
00:04:40I'm Joy Tawny. Any pronouns? Daytime job name. It's Benjamin.
00:04:45My name is also literally Alexander out of drag, but I'm just like Alexander the eh. He, him, in and out of drag all the time.
00:04:52I am KB. My pronouns are her and she.
00:04:55My name is Mo. My non-binary identity is really just an unsubscribe button. Really.
00:05:02You can call me Charlie, and my pronouns are she, they.
00:05:06I'm a beautiful Mexican indigenous blood with Shakira, with Chol, that has the privilege to show off my culture and share it alongside all of you.
00:05:16And just being able to do that is great. And just being in this show means the world because those people out in this world needs to see every single one of you.
00:05:30Like, yo, it's fire now, kid.
00:05:34Yes, yes.
00:05:38Wait a minute. Who the hell are you kids?
00:05:42Are you molasses?
00:05:44No, I don't know.
00:05:47Who's that?
00:05:49Oh, that's Big D.
00:05:51Ain't that wild?
00:05:53You kids are talking about pronouns.
00:05:55Actually, I don't have any pronouns. Please don't refer to me.
00:05:58Come on, let's get to work. Let's go, kids. Come on.
00:06:02All right, kids. You made it through the first episode. How you doing?
00:06:06Good.
00:06:08This week, the theme is comedy.
00:06:12So it could either go great, because comedy is what I care about, or I could embarrass myself. I could get no more comedy gigs ever because I did so badly on this show.
00:06:22And that is a very real reality that I have thought about.
00:06:25I am so excited because I am a campy king and comedy is my thing.
00:06:29People do say I'm funny, but I am not funny on command. I am like a horse. You could lead me to the water, but I'm going to pull out a Coca-Cola because I don't drink water.
00:06:40For our weenie challenge, we are exploring the form of comedy most associated with joining a cult.
00:06:52Improv.
00:06:55I did briefly join the improv club in high school because I had a crush on someone in the improv club and quickly realized that my crush in the improv club was not enough to keep me in the improv club.
00:07:09I know it's like, yes, and, but for me, it's more like, yes, but why?
00:07:16Now here to help us judge the weenie challenge, veteran improviser and notorious serial killer on Ryan Murphy shows, please welcome my co-star from Somebody Somewhere, my good pal, Jeff Hiller.
00:07:33What's up, bros?
00:07:42I used to watch Jeff Hiller on the UCB stage in New York in the early aughts.
00:07:47Unbelievable comic talent.
00:07:49He's one of the funniest people I know and he's been doing improv for three decades, so I made him come.
00:07:56Two decades and he didn't make me come that much.
00:08:01I didn't say it like that.
00:08:04I'm nervous.
00:08:06My improv experience is kind of limited, like living life.
00:08:11Is that improv enough?
00:08:13A lot of my numbers include a lot of comedy, but improv, not so much.
00:08:18What we're gonna do is play a game called mansplainer.
00:08:21So I'm going to ask you a question that you will never know the answer to, but just like any good mansplainer, that ain't gonna stop you from answering, right?
00:08:30Have I ever been mansplained to?
00:08:32Like it's my job.
00:08:33I should be paid for it.
00:08:34I might be guilty of mansplaining from time to time.
00:08:37Don't get me started on gardening, cats, or physics.
00:08:41Let's go.
00:08:42So as a group of three, you will mansplain a randomly selected topic.
00:08:46Each of you will say one word at a time.
00:08:51Now your answer doesn't have to be correct, but it should make grammatical sense.
00:08:55People think like, this is comedy, this is in KB's back pocket.
00:08:58But would K be too funny and pressure are separate.
00:09:01So as a group, you need to work together rather than just trying to get that sexy noun or that sexy verb.
00:09:07What's a sexy noun?
00:09:09Ah, flesh.
00:09:11Right? That is pretty sexy.
00:09:14Well, not really.
00:09:16Our first team will be Alexander the Great, Henlo Bullfrog, and Buck Wilde.
00:09:22The second team is Percasex, Pressure K, and Dick Von Dyke.
00:09:27For me, emceeing is improv.
00:09:29I host shows so frequently, and I have to be ready to, like, interact with whatever audience walks through the door.
00:09:36So I feel really well equipped.
00:09:38I'm just here to show up.
00:09:40I'm gonna look like I'm confident.
00:09:42Yo, I got y'all.
00:09:43Which leaves Big D, King Molasses, and Charles Galen King.
00:09:48This isn't Big D's wheelhouse.
00:09:50I'm a little worried that I may even bring folks down.
00:09:53As a clown teacher, I'm pulling from improv and using improv all the time.
00:09:56Am I good at it? I don't know.
00:09:58It's about subsuming your own self to play as a team.
00:10:01I may or may not be very good at that.
00:10:03It's time to pick your topics out of my sack.
00:10:07J.J., bring me my sack!
00:10:09Hey, J.J.
00:10:12I'm a J!
00:10:13I'm a J!
00:10:14I'm a J!
00:10:15I'm a J!
00:10:16Reach into my sack.
00:10:17I thought you'd never ask.
00:10:19Oh, Jesus!
00:10:21What the hell?
00:10:24I could be in Murray's sack all day.
00:10:27Deep pools of wisdom.
00:10:29Of lightness.
00:10:30Hearts.
00:10:31Flowers.
00:10:32Hair.
00:10:33You know?
00:10:34The stuff of showbiz.
00:10:38Where have you been sitting?
00:10:54All right, our first group, what's your name and what are you mansplaining?
00:11:08Our team name is, well, actually, and we are mansplaining what happened to Amelia Earhart.
00:11:17All right.
00:11:18Well.
00:11:19Actually.
00:11:20She.
00:11:21Flew.
00:11:22Into.
00:11:23A.
00:11:24Vortex.
00:11:25In.
00:11:26The.
00:11:27Bermuda.
00:11:28Triangle.
00:11:29They rehearsed this ahead of time.
00:11:30I don't know how or when they did.
00:11:31There's something like ESP going on there or some .
00:11:34Then.
00:11:35Found.
00:11:36I have no idea what we're talking about.
00:11:38I know there's an airplane involved.
00:11:40All.
00:11:41Of.
00:11:42The.
00:11:43Aliens.
00:11:4410 seconds.
00:11:45Whom.
00:11:46Took.
00:11:47Her.
00:11:48With.
00:11:49Them.
00:11:50Two.
00:11:51Four.
00:11:52Three.
00:11:53Two.
00:11:54One.
00:11:55Spaceship.
00:11:56Great job, kids.
00:11:57Wow.
00:11:58Fantastic.
00:11:59Amazing.
00:12:00I really learned something there.
00:12:01I'm not sure what, but I learned something.
00:12:02You're welcome.
00:12:03We are the religion and we are mansplaining what is the secret to eternal life.
00:12:09Every state.
00:12:10Of.
00:12:11My.
00:12:12Life.
00:12:13Is.
00:12:14Very.
00:12:15Chaotic.
00:12:16I was raised Catholic, so I'm trying to put some things away around this.
00:12:20And.
00:12:21Crusty.
00:12:22I have no idea what the secret to eternal life is.
00:12:24I'm pretty much an atheist, so I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:12:27To.
00:12:28Do.
00:12:29What.
00:12:30I.
00:12:31Must.
00:12:32Do.
00:12:33In order.
00:12:34My ability to speak comes from being able to form all sentences.
00:12:37Curses.
00:12:38People.
00:12:39Hatred.
00:12:40Binares.
00:12:41I did go off topic a little bit.
00:12:43Grammar is not my strong suit.
00:12:44Ten seconds.
00:12:45Exclamation.
00:12:46Exaltation.
00:12:47Curses.
00:12:48Five.
00:12:49The.
00:12:50Four.
00:12:51Three.
00:12:52End.
00:12:53Of.
00:12:54Two.
00:12:55Time.
00:12:56One.
00:12:57Wow.
00:12:58Wow.
00:12:59You know, when the religion mansplains things, the religion goes big.
00:13:05All right, we're Dr. Brilliant with three L's and we're here to take more.
00:13:10And we are mansplaining the Higgs-Boston particle theory.
00:13:15Oh, good.
00:13:16You know, I was just wondering, could someone explain the Higgs-Boston particle theory?
00:13:22Hey, testicles.
00:13:24Are.
00:13:25Big.
00:13:26And.
00:13:27Essential.
00:13:28Soft.
00:13:29To.
00:13:30The.
00:13:31Touch.
00:13:32Of.
00:13:33The.
00:13:34Mouth.
00:13:35Buttholes.
00:13:36All I want to do is look good in front of Jeff.
00:13:39My group and I are just on such different pages.
00:13:43I'm trying to, like, redirect, but I am outnumbered.
00:13:47Theoretically.
00:13:48Finger.
00:13:49Hard.
00:13:50My jaw dropped.
00:13:51Like, Perka, bless his heart.
00:13:52And I wanted to run over there and help them so bad, but then I had to remember, oh my God,
00:13:57wait.
00:13:58I'm in a competition.
00:13:59Everyone else got things that at least kind of made sense.
00:14:03And I pull out this bullshit out of fish.
00:14:05Hosen.
00:14:06Bogs.
00:14:07Bogs.
00:14:08Hosen.
00:14:09It'd be like, that's the game.
00:14:10I was like, the game is not the note.
00:14:12I'm gonna tell you, you just have to keep kissing.
00:14:14Mmm, bows and hogs and you will understand testicles.
00:14:20You know, before when I said not everybody gets to say a sexy word, that meant you two teams.
00:14:30All of you just get to say sexy words.
00:14:32Nothing but.
00:14:33I'm sorry, Dick.
00:14:34I'm sorry, Pressure.
00:14:35Basically, this challenge was the screw your autism challenge.
00:14:38Socially, it's hard to keep up with people, pick up on cues.
00:14:42Do you want to talk about your autism?
00:14:43I mean, I think the people who watch it don't, it's gonna be apparent.
00:14:47Like, they're gonna figure out.
00:14:49Well, the winner of this weenie challenge is...
00:14:56Amelia Earhart.
00:14:58Yes!
00:14:59Get some TV!
00:15:02What I love that you did was you listened to each other, so you made this sentence make sense.
00:15:08You've each won a $100 shopping spree at Rodeo.
00:15:12Oh, my God!
00:15:13Yay!
00:15:14This is the winning I thought I was going to be experiencing here.
00:15:18Yes!
00:15:19We deserve it.
00:15:20We killed it.
00:15:21$100 shopping spree.
00:15:22Teamwork does make the dream work, and I think we proved that.
00:15:24I am so proud of my team.
00:15:25I was like, yeah, come on, Texas Kings and Enloe.
00:15:28The one thing about comedy that you might want to take with you, even if you think you screwed up,
00:15:34don't let the audience know that you screwed up.
00:15:37Make them feel safe and like you know exactly what you're doing.
00:15:42All right, my pal.
00:15:43Will you come back a little bit later?
00:15:44Sure!
00:15:45Isn't it Jeffrey great?
00:15:46I never would've known!
00:15:49Go, go, go.
00:15:50Here we go.
00:15:51Kings, now it's time to get beefy!
00:15:55Woo!
00:15:56Today's beefy challenge is...
00:15:59The Dong Show!
00:16:01King of Drag's Celebrity Talent Show.
00:16:04Ooh!
00:16:05For the Dong Show, you must do a celebrity impersonation.
00:16:09I am not an impersonation person at all.
00:16:12Murray, give me a break.
00:16:13What's hard about impressions is like you've got to like be in the ballpark of what the person actually gives.
00:16:19You have to kind of talk like them and move like them, but also you have to have a take on it.
00:16:24And perform a talent show act.
00:16:27The definition of talent is open for interpretation.
00:16:30This challenge is another example of like me taking the challenges too literally.
00:16:34I have a talent.
00:16:35I'm secretly a French horn player, and I'm really excited to show that talent on stage.
00:16:40Whatever you do, make sure you do it with daring, innovation, creativity, and charisma with a K.
00:16:48Just make us laugh, and God knows we need to laugh right now.
00:16:53And today in the Royal Hall, we will be joined by Jeff and another super somebody guest judge.
00:17:00You have two hours to prepare for the Dong Show.
00:17:05Feel free to help yourself with some elf cosmetics, because why the elves not?
00:17:11All right, kings, come on, circle up. Let's go.
00:17:14One, two, three.
00:17:16Long live the king!
00:17:30We have two hours. I'm not sure if that's enough time to channel the energy of 16-year-old Justin Bieber.
00:17:55I am a 34-year-old man, okay?
00:17:57Charla, who are you there?
00:17:58Count Olaf.
00:17:59Count Olaf!
00:18:00Less corrupto.
00:18:01Doing drag impressions is challenging, because you have to study their mannerisms, study how they move, they talk.
00:18:10And being a drag character like Charles Galen King, it's just like, it's just me.
00:18:15Crusher, who are you doing?
00:18:17I am Rip Ross.
00:18:18I like chicken wings.
00:18:19Yes!
00:18:20So I'm excited.
00:18:22And I'm feeling good with the two hours, because I don't wear a lot of makeup.
00:18:26Right now, the biggest challenge is the Rick Ross beard.
00:18:30Uh...
00:18:31I'm kind of interested in bad makeup. How would a man put on makeup?
00:18:35Yeah, no, that makes sense.
00:18:36Like, too much and kind of badly.
00:18:38Not that mine looks , it looks good, but, you know.
00:18:41Let me look at this wig.
00:18:42Oh, my flowing rock locks.
00:18:44Is this maybe a black, a jack?
00:18:47Yes!
00:18:48I'm so excited to, like, let go and just have a little fun.
00:18:52Honestly, you deserve to let go.
00:18:55That was last week, and now it's this week.
00:18:58And you deserve to be here, dude.
00:19:00I know I have something to prove this week.
00:19:02If I don't prove it, I might be in the bottom again.
00:19:04So who are you doing?
00:19:05I will be portraying Ira Glass, the host of This American Life.
00:19:10How do you make him funny?
00:19:12I picked Ira Glass because I knew no one would pick Ira Glass.
00:19:18For me to stand out in this challenge, I have to take a risk.
00:19:22It is a strategic risk because he's a bit of a quieter character,
00:19:26and I feel like I'm a bit quiet, especially in the group.
00:19:29I high-key relate to Steve Urkel because socially awkward,
00:19:34constantly up, but people still keep him around.
00:19:37Is that how you feel about...
00:19:38I don't know, like, I just make a lot of mistakes
00:19:40because neurodivergency.
00:19:43Turns out I have PTSD.
00:19:45Hey.
00:19:46My brain is always on danger mode.
00:19:48My biggest competition is me, my, like, self-saboteur.
00:19:52These guys are not thinking about me.
00:19:54How does your family feel about your drag?
00:19:56I don't think they understand,
00:19:57why can't I just stay a pretty lady?
00:19:59I mean, first of all, like, they didn't want me to, like,
00:20:01be a performer as my life.
00:20:03They sent me to a fancy college so that I could become a clown.
00:20:06Do you consider yourself a clown?
00:20:07Oh, a thousand percent.
00:20:08That's my religion, really.
00:20:10Clown is about using your vulnerabilities as strengths,
00:20:12and, like, one of the things that I've been most ashamed about
00:20:15is how I felt about my gender and whether I was in the right body.
00:20:18So, obviously, that was where my clown was gonna go.
00:20:21So much about comedy is leaning into, like, the pain and grief of life.
00:20:25Part of the drag numbers I do, it's like,
00:20:27I'm trying to be the person I needed when I was younger.
00:20:29Yes.
00:20:30I think the funniest part about drag for me as, like, a girl growing up,
00:20:34I was always told, like, oh, you'd be so much prettier
00:20:36if you tweezed your eyebrows.
00:20:38You'd be so much prettier if you wore makeup.
00:20:40It's like, I'm doing more women things to look like a man.
00:20:42Right. It's funny. It's funny.
00:20:44Being here means healing works,
00:20:46because I don't know if I could have made it.
00:20:47I mean, drag saved my life. I get it.
00:20:49When I first started doing drag, I was looking for validation.
00:20:52I was looking for a way to express myself
00:20:54and express my masculinity
00:20:56and, like, play with these tools in the toolbox
00:20:58that, like, had always been out of bounds and forbidden for me.
00:21:01Getting to do drag has been, like, getting to find the part of myself
00:21:05that isn't just afraid to be myself.
00:21:08Everybody looks very busy at work.
00:21:11Keep doing your thing, and I'm gonna have a one-on-one with you
00:21:14to see how you're doing.
00:21:15Thank you, Lori.
00:21:16Buck, you got a second? Come on up.
00:21:17Sure.
00:21:18Oh, my God.
00:21:19Who are you impersonating today?
00:21:21I'm gonna be the devil.
00:21:22Mm-hmm.
00:21:23I went to Catholic school.
00:21:24Oh, so you're working it out.
00:21:25I went to Catholic school, too.
00:21:27I'm still not over it.
00:21:28I'm not practicing now, but I like to play with religion.
00:21:31But still.
00:21:32There's nothing to be guilty of.
00:21:33We're raised with just, like, this overarching sense of guilt
00:21:36just for existing.
00:21:37Now, is it gonna be funny?
00:21:38Are you gonna add some comedy to it?
00:21:40Oh, listen, listen.
00:21:41The religion is funny in general.
00:21:43Sometimes we can't always afford to go to therapy.
00:21:46Yeah.
00:21:47For the Catholic guilt.
00:21:48So we do drag.
00:21:49Yes.
00:21:50That is my church and my therapy, drag.
00:21:52Done.
00:21:53All right.
00:21:54Get out of here, you devil.
00:21:55Trying to see how long I want this.
00:21:57I start to do my beard, and it's not looking full.
00:22:01Like, I did practice at home, but maybe I didn't practice enough.
00:22:04I want to ask for help.
00:22:06And who has the best beard?
00:22:08Mo.
00:22:09We are all here to win.
00:22:10I appreciate that.
00:22:11And if I want to beat you, I got to beat you honestly.
00:22:13Wait till this to dry.
00:22:14Mm-hmm.
00:22:15I create as straight of an edge as possible.
00:22:17Boom.
00:22:18Okay.
00:22:19I wasn't allowed to ask for help growing up.
00:22:21Like, I just heard my mama saying, don't ask for help.
00:22:23Do it yourself.
00:22:24You're supposed to be strong.
00:22:25So when Mo said, I got you, I think I might win today.
00:22:29Come on.
00:22:30Do you need some of this?
00:22:31Please.
00:22:32I'm using eyelash glue.
00:22:33You have one kid?
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:36I have a three-year-old daughter.
00:22:37Does your daughter see you?
00:22:38Oh, yeah.
00:22:39She thinks I look great.
00:22:40She's like, mommy, you look so good.
00:22:41I love that.
00:22:42In a big way, you're teaching your child to be open to new ideas.
00:22:45Yeah.
00:22:46In the 70s and 80s, my grandfather wanted us to assimilate.
00:22:50So every time we would start speaking Spanish, he would just correct us and say, no, no, no,
00:22:53we don't want you to do that.
00:22:54My religious background and my heritage are spaces that I didn't necessarily feel connected to or welcomed
00:23:02in or held by.
00:23:03So through Buck, I'm able to re-examine those spaces and reclaim them.
00:23:09It feels really good.
00:23:10It feels really good to be able to rewrite that story.
00:23:17Charles!
00:23:18It's his eye.
00:23:19You look a little different.
00:23:20Hi.
00:23:21It's just a little tweak.
00:23:22When you're on a stage and you start feeling those nerves, what is your advice to hone those nerves?
00:23:29Yeah.
00:23:30You know, there are times I get nervous.
00:23:32It doesn't happen too much anymore because I'm a little dead inside.
00:23:34What are you?
00:23:35What's up?
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:37When I do that, I do this little trick.
00:23:39Talk to someone in the audience.
00:23:41What's your name?
00:23:42And I...
00:23:43It's a therapy thing, right?
00:23:45In rehab, they told me, move a muscle, change of thought.
00:23:48So it's like, I'm freaking out.
00:23:50I just up the opening.
00:23:51I mess up.
00:23:52And then you go, can I get you a drink?
00:23:53And then you back out.
00:23:54Totally.
00:23:55That's the secret, Tim.
00:23:56I'm not going to charge you for that today.
00:23:58I love you, Mary.
00:24:00I love you too.
00:24:02One hour left.
00:24:08I am so used to painting myself my way.
00:24:11I'm faced with the fact that I'm painting Bieber onto my face.
00:24:16I think the face is done.
00:24:17So let me foots with this, man.
00:24:19I'm worried about if things going to go well and if they go wrong,
00:24:23can I just play it off that it's like, oh yeah, that was intentional
00:24:27because he's Steve Urkel.
00:24:28All right, I got to get going.
00:24:30Yeah, you got twice the amount of face you usually got to paint.
00:24:32I know, right?
00:24:33For this challenge, I have no beard.
00:24:35Contouring with the beard, because it has to go on first,
00:24:38plays like a huge part in how I map my face out.
00:24:41Wait, molasses, forget the highlight.
00:24:43What are you using?
00:24:44I'm using kind of like a white, kind of making me a little...
00:24:47That's how I got my highlight to look like this.
00:24:49I don't know what the hell he was doing with his face.
00:24:51He was looking a little blue.
00:24:53It felt nice to be able to give back to him in that way
00:24:56because he helped me a lot last week.
00:24:58What the hell?
00:24:59Hope I don't blow it.
00:25:01Ah, Jesus.
00:25:02This looks like my .
00:25:03I don't know what that is.
00:25:04Don't worry.
00:25:05I'm like nervous.
00:25:06I can't even get the words out.
00:25:07I'm afraid of the goddamn alligator.
00:25:08What the fuck is that?
00:25:09Nature shows have been such a centering force for me
00:25:14in my healing journey and like frankly in my sobriety journey.
00:25:18So I wanted to kind of pay tribute to that.
00:25:20I started in the 90s in the club scene.
00:25:22Yeah.
00:25:23When you're drinking and you're feeling good,
00:25:25you go on stage and it gives you this false sense of confidence.
00:25:28Mm-hmm.
00:25:29I had a good friend that said, you're better than this.
00:25:31And I stopped drinking before a performance literally from that time on.
00:25:35That rocks.
00:25:36All right.
00:25:37I'm also coming up on two years sober.
00:25:39So that's really cool.
00:25:40Sober from alcohol.
00:25:41Bro.
00:25:42Same.
00:25:43That rocks.
00:25:44It's funny.
00:25:45I'm putting a fake beard on my real beard.
00:25:46Beardception.
00:25:48I've had a beard since I was 13.
00:25:50I feel because I'm a lesbian, doctors just tried to get me out.
00:25:53It was my wife that figured out I had PCOS.
00:25:56That's when I was able to understand.
00:25:58It's another level of freedom.
00:26:00I'm the bearded lady.
00:26:01Justin?
00:26:02Mm-hmm.
00:26:03Oh, my God.
00:26:04Mm-hmm.
00:26:05One of the greatest songwriters of our generation.
00:26:07Absolutely.
00:26:08What's Justin's secret talent?
00:26:10Could you believe it?
00:26:11He is actually a top dancer.
00:26:14Wow.
00:26:15We're going old school vaudeville for Justin Bieber.
00:26:17A thousand percent, yes.
00:26:18Oh, my God.
00:26:19I have a wide range of talents to choose from,
00:26:21but I am thinking long game, and I want to bring out my big skills,
00:26:24my aerial acrobatics for later in the competition.
00:26:27The finale.
00:26:28So how are you going to bring some comedy into this?
00:26:30Justin has just such, like, an effortless energy,
00:26:33and so just being able to tune into that is going to be a lot of fun.
00:26:38And funny.
00:26:39All right.
00:26:40Yeah.
00:26:44I think a lot of us are feeling some kind of way
00:26:46working outside of our usual paint,
00:26:48and knowing that perfection is expected.
00:26:50I'm definitely feeling the weight of the expectations.
00:26:52Five minutes, kings!
00:26:54Holy balls.
00:27:01Time's up, kings!
00:27:03That's right, fellas.
00:27:04Shake it off.
00:27:05Put it back in your pants,
00:27:07and let's head to the royal hall!
00:27:14I'm feeling a little nervous.
00:27:16I think my choice is very out there and silly,
00:27:19but the risk of it is also weighing on me.
00:27:25Yeah, I'm a real king.
00:27:28I'm a real king.
00:27:29I'm a real king.
00:27:30No, no, no, no.
00:27:46Welcome to The Dong Show, King of Drag's celebrity talent show.

00:28:34Do you have a hidden talent that you can tell us?
00:28:36Do my tits count?
00:28:37Oh, those aren't hidden.
00:28:38Jeffrey, you and I did live together when we were filming Somebody Somewhere.
00:28:44Is there something you can share with us that I don't know?
00:28:47Um, yeah.
00:28:48I can make my lips look like they have an invisible thread in them.
00:28:57Jeff Feller, everybody.
00:29:00Tonight, each of our celebrity contestants will show you their secret talent, hidden treasures,
00:29:07and family jewels.
00:29:09Let's meet them now.
00:29:12Here's someone from down under.
00:29:14It's the devil.
00:29:16Now, devil, how are you going to stand out?
00:29:19I don't know.
00:29:20I'm going to come out with a little bit of heat, a little bit of fervor.
00:29:25I don't know.
00:29:26I'm kind of a, one of those kind of kings that can handle the heat, you know?
00:29:33I'm bringing the heat.
00:29:34Damn it.
00:29:35We have the original Canadian bacon, Justin Bieber.
00:29:40How's your baby, baby, baby?
00:29:42So good.
00:29:43My mom says my mustache will grow in any day now.
00:29:45Yeah.
00:29:46Same.
00:29:47Now, here's a guy who knows how to fist.
00:29:50It's Sylvester Stallone.
00:29:52Oh, yeah.
00:29:53Oh, yeah.
00:29:54All right, Sylvester Stallone, how are you prepared if this competition gets rocky?
00:30:01Oh, yeah, you know how it is.
00:30:02You know, you're just going to fly now.
00:30:04You're going to fly.
00:30:05You're going to fly now.
00:30:06It's the song.
00:30:07It goes, this is going to.
00:30:08Anyway, don't worry about it.
00:30:10I have never performed this character before.
00:30:14Crikey, it's Steve Irwin.
00:30:16G'day, mate.
00:30:17How's it going?
00:30:18How does it feel to be alive again?
00:30:20I feel like I'm in the natural habitat with a bunch of homosexuals.
00:30:25All right.
00:30:25Could you please close those?
00:30:27I'm trying to do a show here.
00:30:28This is them closed.
00:30:33What are you talking about?
00:30:34I didn't mean to look.
00:30:35It was just looking at me.
00:30:36The eye of the tiger.
00:30:38I look good in these khaki shorts and nobody can tell me nothing.
00:30:40Here's one of the most popular guys in town, Jack Black.
00:30:45I'm ready to bring some rock and roll knowledge to the mass.
00:30:48All right.
00:30:48Now, this is a little self-serving, but I got to ask you a question.
00:30:52Can you cast me in Kung Fu Panda 18?
00:30:55Only if you're willing to play the rice bowl.
00:30:57Showbiz, I love rice.
00:30:59You know his soothing voice, and now he's here in the flesh.
00:31:04Ira Glass.
00:31:08What's so funny?
00:31:08Ira, has anyone ever told you you have a face for radio?
00:31:13I might have a face for radio, Murray, but you have a face and a fit for Hollywood.
00:31:17Showbiz.
00:31:18Ira, you know I'm not one of the judges, so are you going to bribe them?
00:31:21Well, judges, I hope you enjoy our episode and stay with us.
00:31:28I can't believe Bridget is here.
00:31:31I'm excited, and also I'm like, oh gosh, they got real funny people, so we might not get the pity laugh.
00:31:36From Transylvania, nos, fuck, how do you say this?
00:31:41Nosferatu.
00:31:42Oh, fuck.
00:31:45From Transylvania, it's nosferatu.
00:31:48Nosferatu.
00:31:50Welcome.
00:31:57I guess family does matter, after all, it's Steve Urkel.
00:32:01Hi-ni-ho, Mario.
00:32:03Hi.
00:32:04I like his suspenders.
00:32:07I like to leave the audience in suspense.
00:32:11Next, the big boss, Rick Ross.
00:32:15I'm the biggest boss you've seen this far.
00:32:17Rick, what's your beard care routine?
00:32:20Puff, puff, pass.
00:32:23All right, thank you, Rick.
00:32:25Folks, that's our lineup.
00:32:26I'm so excited to see all your talents.
00:32:29Let's dong!
00:32:30First up, please welcome to the stage, the Devil.
00:32:37I know I look so good.
00:32:39I know my moves are fantastic, but the props, those are the X Factor here.
00:32:45Oh.
00:32:47Oh, a knife.
00:32:50Crikey, this is making me hungry.
00:32:51Oh, what's that?
00:33:00Poppers.
00:33:07My brain is reeling.
00:33:08I'm trying to think about everything all at once.
00:33:10I have so many props.
00:33:12Sometimes they go right, sometimes they go wrong.
00:33:15You just never know.
00:33:16See?
00:33:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
00:33:21Let's get a look of it.
00:33:24Woo!
00:33:24Woo!
00:33:24Woo!
00:33:25Woo!
00:33:25Woo!
00:33:25Woo!
00:33:26Woo!
00:33:26Woo!
00:33:27Woo!
00:33:28Woo!
00:33:29Woo!
00:33:29Woo!
00:33:31Woo!
00:33:32Devil, that was hot.
00:33:34How did you come up with this amazing performance?
00:33:37I tell you, but I don't want you to give me the villain edit.
00:33:40Now, the Devil's single in Bridget, what do you say?
00:33:42Would you get hot with this guy?
00:33:44Why not?
00:33:45You know, I like the moves.
00:33:46I like the heat.
00:33:46Yes.
00:33:47Come on.
00:33:47Get up here.
00:33:48I'm not in here.
00:33:48I'm not the coach.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:49What neighborhood in hell are you from?
00:33:52Oh, I'm, I'm actually, I'm not staying at home right now.
00:33:55I'm staying at a really nice hotel.
00:33:57It's called the White House.
00:34:01The White House is hell.
00:34:04Please welcome to the stage, Justin Bieber.
00:34:08I want you to believe with me.
00:34:11Drop my beat.
00:34:16Let's go, JV!
00:34:1822 million!
00:34:20Alexander the Great is an incredible performer.
00:34:36Being funny is a very specific thing.
00:34:39And this performance, it's mostly dance.
00:34:41I wish I could move like that.
00:34:57Justin, I had no idea that you could tap.
00:35:00How long you been tapping?
00:35:01Since yesterday.
00:35:04What do you call some of those moves?
00:35:06Do they have names?
00:35:07Being myself.
00:35:09Oh, wow.
00:35:10And always say always.
00:35:11I don't actually have that much experience with improv.
00:35:15However, I was strong with my look and I was strong with my talent.
00:35:21Please welcome to the stage, Sylvester Stallone.
00:35:29Sylvester Stallone, here we are, Sylvester Stallone in the house.
00:35:34Ask me what it's about.
00:35:35What's it about?
00:35:36Oh, you want to know what it's all about?
00:35:38Yeah.
00:35:39You want to know what it's all about?
00:35:40Yeah!
00:35:41It's not about what we just see you how many times you win.
00:35:45And how many times you win and win and win and win and win and win and win and win.
00:35:51I can't understand what he's saying.
00:35:53I'm a fighter.
00:35:54Oh, oh, oh.
00:35:55But I'm also a domestic, you know?
00:35:57I have a beautiful wife, beautiful daughters.
00:36:00So I'm going to show you all how to fold a fitted sheet.
00:36:04Warm it up.
00:36:05Boom, boom, boom.
00:36:06Hold on.

00:36:45Big D smashed it.
00:36:50Honestly, that might be a tough act to follow.
00:36:53How long you been training for that?
00:36:55All my life.
00:36:57I failed.
00:37:00Who's gonna fix the gaping wound in my masculinity?
00:37:06I need some tips. What's your workout routine?
00:37:09Juice. I start with a very nice juice.
00:37:12I follow with an oat milk latte.
00:37:16And I just keep pushing up until I throw up.
00:37:20Bridget, I know you've watched all of the Rocky movies.
00:37:24Would you be the Adrian to this Rocky?
00:37:27Oh, absolutely.
00:37:29I need somebody to help me fold my sheets.
00:37:32I don't know if that's me.
00:37:35Next up, please welcome to the stage, Steve Irwin.
00:37:43All right. G'day, mates.
00:37:45So the secret to crocodile hunting is the element of surprise,
00:37:48which is completely out the window,
00:37:50because this Sheila knew I came in from the moment I walked in the door,
00:37:54because I always smell like shrimp bun the barbie.
00:37:57All right, so you can seduce your crocodile with your gifts of tonguing and fingering.
00:38:01Ooh.
00:38:07Dick is going right before me and also working with brass instruments.
00:38:11That's a little scary, because I know we're gonna be compared to each other.
00:38:14Fun fact, crocodiles are the largest living reptile, like dinosaurs living in Florida.
00:38:19Thank you for being a friend, righto.
00:38:22Don't try this at home.
00:38:24The key to crocodile hunting is waiting for your moment.
00:38:28Wait for it.
00:38:29Wait, you've got to find just the right, the right position.
00:38:33The right, okay.
00:38:34And when the moment is right, you strike.
00:38:38Oh, not again.
00:38:40Oh, they're so strong and I can't hold them.
00:38:43Oh, my God.
00:38:49I feel like it goes about as well as it could go.
00:38:54And any questions for Steve?
00:38:57Why Carmen?
00:38:58Because it is in the public domain, which is everything that I look for in my musical case.
00:39:05Yes, yes, yes.
00:39:06Don't you?
00:39:07What about woodwinds?
00:39:09Well, listen Jeff, I bring my own woodwindy if you know what I mean.
00:39:13Oh, I know what you mean.
00:39:14Let's hear it for Steve Irwin.
00:39:19Please welcome to the stage, Jack Black.
00:39:24Tonight, I shall unveil to you my pernicious pupils the secret to rock and hard.
00:39:31This sandwich is not the greatest sandwich in the world, no.
00:39:36This is just a tribute.
00:39:38Now, bread is best when marinating in the marrow of the bone.
00:39:41Yeah, I'm talking about brass, baby.
00:39:44You take a little PB.
00:39:45You smear it.
00:39:46You spank that butter on there.
00:39:49I am scared because Headlo really leaned into the Jack Black.
00:39:52I like Kung Fu Panda too, but like, can we get Headlo?
00:39:55Sandwich Supreme is now flat size.
00:39:57Oh, we are not going to eat this sandwich.
00:39:59We are going to send it into the stratosphere.
00:40:02I have one word to describe my performance and it's unhinged.
00:40:05Is it going to go well?
00:40:06Is anyone's game?
00:40:07Oh my God.
00:40:21Headlo, you are going to end up on a weird part of the internet.
00:40:25Yes, that's rock and roll.
00:40:28Hey Jack.
00:40:29Hey Tenderoni, can you want to join my band?
00:40:35No, I'm good.
00:40:37It's hard to say where I landed.
00:40:40I was not expecting the judges to put me in the bottom last week.
00:40:43So I'm really afraid to guess anything and be disappointed if I'm wrong.
00:40:46be disappointed if I'm wrong this is the dong show the unique celebrity talent
00:41:01show incomparable to any other show within a show it's time for our next

00:44:22nosferatu here's a throwback for you say hello to Steve Urkel
00:44:31tiny ho judgy hoes now today I'm gonna share it to you my hidden talent comes from a part of my body
00:44:41that people don't usually get to see my brain before you is my transformation chamber before
00:44:48your very eyes my DNA is going to be altered and I will be my persona Stefan Urkel after this
00:44:56transformation I will be smoother faster and as sharp as this cheddar cheese for my talent I'm doing a
00:45:07transformation chamber there are so many things I don't have control over when it comes to this prop
00:45:12and this challenge and I don't like that oh no I turned myself into a blue hedgehog
00:45:24I gotta go fast did I do that does anyone have a chili dog any green hills I can run on
00:45:38I'm just gonna go back to do your job too
00:45:43what other settings does that incredible contraption have well it has different
00:45:57settings I can turn myself into a bottom I can turn myself into a top so that machine is very versatile
00:46:07good to know give them a round of applause I think I did terrible files of the judges panel I would
00:46:21put myself in the bottom it's nerve-wracking because I don't want to be setting the tone up
00:46:28that I can't perform because I can perform please welcome our last celebrity Rick Ross people think I
00:46:35like pears but I love ribbons oh what would a homeboy do with a ribbon he'll throw it at you oh yes
00:46:52I have never done impersonations how long is your ribbon

00:47:54buck wild big D king molasses percosex dick von dyke alexander the great you are all
00:48:14the tops and bottoms of this week I don't think I'm in the bottom for this challenge I think I did well
00:48:21enough that I'm in the top three if your name was not called you are safe I feel very nice and warm even
00:48:29though I still would have wanted to hear some feedback and see what else can I push myself to
00:48:34be to make it to the winning circle it's time for feedback let's begin with buck wild I really like
00:48:42your look I just wish that the energy for the look match the energy for the number or maybe there was a
00:48:47a few too many props and it's a Coco Chanel get rid of one element before you do the performance
00:48:52situation what was missing for me was you you know and I think you're an incredible dancer and when
00:48:57you fell down on the ground at the end I just like a little couple little bumps of the you know whatever
00:49:01you want to do like take your heart and fill up the stage with you because when you do you you're
00:49:06gonna win I will take that I'll take that to my heart I appreciate it so much backstage right
00:49:14before I went on something felt a little bit off in the air I can feel but kind of crumbling away a
00:49:20little bit and it's making me nervous and vulnerable Alexander the great I loved your choice for Justin
00:49:26Beaver I do think that you are so so talented the toes were great for me but I was like oh I wanted
00:49:32to see a little bit more comedy every once in a while you would do something like Justin Beaver
00:49:36move and then like tapity tap tap tap and I think we just needed to heighten it and we're just smacked
00:49:42across the face with hilarious camp you got it I'll smack you next time I know Alexander to be great
00:49:49I've seen you you're an aerialist comma comma comma we thought there would be more reveal I want you to
00:49:57serve thank you I really hope I can show you that I have so much more to bring yes I love that that's
00:50:05also the fight that you need I am not feeling the same confidence that I was last week this is jarring
00:50:12all right big D at first I was like what because I couldn't hear what you were saying but then but
00:50:19that's you know slide like that's part of it now that's commitment a method I love that you had this
00:50:29story in it where you were saying I've been defeated by this sheet which is what Rocky does too right he
00:50:34doesn't win or whatever so he does win I actually don't know I've never seen Rocky I mean your mustache
00:50:44and beard were falling off which is a bit of a drag no-no but somehow you made it work your makeup
00:50:50looks very shiny so I need you to like set your makeup and I think that that would also help so
00:50:56your beard doesn't fall off too but other than that I am a big D fan Dick Von Dyke incredible you
00:51:06were able to volley with us and come up with great jokes on the fly very high quality drag tonight thank
00:51:11you so much well I love the shorts these old things well look you know to me like you fill
00:51:18a room you have a real presence I thought you were Australian I was like I really did I was like wow okay
00:51:24yeah I'm from down under in Missouri that's okay well I'm from Kansas so maybe that's what I'm
00:51:29responding to my Kansas ring right there is no greater compliment in the world than making someone
00:51:37laugh who you think is funny all right King molasses your set was like a masterclass in celebrity
00:51:46impersonation I don't even know Ira glass like that but you made me get to know it could have easily not
00:51:53been funny at all and in your timing and delivery it landed every single time I may not think of myself as
00:52:00a comedian but I am a storyteller and Ira is a storyteller I found the right shell to sort of
00:52:07show what I can do on stage purpose sex when you came out as Steve Urkel I was so excited this was a
00:52:14great choice for you I loved your mannerisms and how you really worked your way around Murray I kind
00:52:20of lost it a little bit in the transformation scene I also didn't know about the hedgehog because
00:52:24I'm old you know but I was expecting some kind of like something different I went to meta because
00:52:31I am nerd fun fact Julia White played Urkel and also voiced Sonic and I made a mistake of thinking
00:52:40that was common knowledge I was laughing when the transformation machine fell over and we got did I do
00:52:47that out of you and then there really wasn't much after that never let us see you stressed out up there
00:52:53well looks like I'm the bottom king of the season okay Kings please head back to the man cave while
00:52:59the court deliberates we have to start with King molasses he had us in the palm of his hand the whole
00:53:10time the dedication to staying in character sitting over there talking with Murray playing a character
00:53:17but also letting who he is as a performer shine through his ability to do comedy was a question
00:53:23it's a great remark for me going into today but he just continues to shine how about big D he
00:53:29had that really great moment where he said how will I fill the gaping hole with my masculinity and I was
00:53:35like oh my god it's deep too profound there's a connection that he has with the audience that is
00:53:41gonna take him a very long way I do think his comedy is really his saving grace because his drag
00:53:48technically needs to be fine-tuned a little bit how about Dick Von Dyke I really like his charisma he's
00:53:53a really good writer he knew that script backwards forwards up and down which allowed him to have a
00:53:59looseness about it which makes it fun for the audience top contender for sure now the hardest part
00:54:04let's talk about the Kings that we might be sending into elimination I don't want to take part in this
00:54:08it's too hard it's too painful Percosax our Steve Urkel somebody who's very talented has a lot of natural
00:54:15charm a lot of watchability but for me it wasn't well thought out enough I really love Steve Urkel I
00:54:22think they did such a great impersonation they would have done more and more and more I had no idea that
00:54:26that Jaleel White did the sonic voice neither did I he needs to just let the chaos subside a little
00:54:33bit he needs a little Percocet what about Buck Wilde Buck Wilde for me is tough because I want to see
00:54:41more I want to see what they're capable of but we didn't get it today we're judging on what we saw today
00:54:47yeah he also had a hard job like he had to open but I love that it was like a Latin devil the
00:54:52personification the zoot suit the details he's clearly so talented at drag it's surprising to
00:54:58see that he's not completely at home in the spotlight we got more nerves than we got comedy
00:55:02okay let's talk about Justin Bieber you can tell Alexander the Great has taken a lot of tap dance
00:55:08it is a talent show but really it's a comedy show I like a little edge and darkness in my comedy he's
00:55:14very bubbly and I think he can tap into pushing himself to discover what the darker sides of him really
00:55:20are this is so hard we have to choose two people to send into the final thrust I think we have our
00:55:28decision then do we all have an agreement all right Kings it is time for the court's royal decree Jeff the
00:55:45time has come to name the winner of this week's episode maybe I'm delusional it feels like I got
00:55:53the most laughs the king we have chosen as the winner is King molasses
00:56:03don't look surprised who are you Beyonce like we did it we did it Ira congratulations King molasses this
00:56:15means that you are currently first in line for the throne act four big D and Dick von Dyke you are
00:56:23also safe did I want to win absolutely I did my best I still didn't win I don't know that there's
00:56:30anything I like whatever could have done differently now the part that nobody likes which Kings are in
00:56:37the danger of leaving the competition buck wild we are obsessed with your drag we just wanted to see
00:56:45you own your power a little bit more in the spotlight Alexander the Great you are talented beyond belief
00:56:53we just wanted a little bit more humor and want to see you push yourself to the very edge finding
00:56:57myself in the bottom is not on the agenda and quite frankly has knocked the breath out of me a little bit
00:57:03Percosex your Steve Urkel was perfection but you needed a little bit more scripting so that you
00:57:09had a framework to support your amazing performance I'm worried that the judges think I am bad at drag
00:57:15that I don't belong here that I don't deserve to be here I know I'm good at the things I'm good at
00:57:20it's just that these past two weeks have not been my week cheetahs are fast but we tell it to fly
00:57:25it's not gonna end well we've decided Alexander the Great you are safe thank you thank you holy I really
00:57:44feel like I am not ready to go home yet and the fact that the judges have saved me is giving me
00:57:50everything I need to know that I can keep going in this competition Buckwild Percosex you two are up
00:57:57for elimination and must face off in the final thrust I just need to get myself together get myself in
00:58:07the game I have to be prepared to send my brothers home I know that I'm good at what I do or I wouldn't
00:58:12be here I have more to say and I want them to see so much more of me your final thrust challenge is
00:58:18you must perform a one-minute stand-up set for the Kings court I'm not gonna just give up especially
00:58:27it's something that I know I'm good at and I can finally show to the judges look I am talented I feel
00:58:32pretty good about my stand-up skills I'm pretty confident this is your last chance to make us laugh
00:58:37I use Buck as a shield to the world and as a vehicle to put my self-confidence out there this is
00:58:45always there when I need him oh now I really feel bad for bucks I know I'm gonna kill this
00:58:50this is the final thrust our bottom Kings were asked to prepare a short but sweet stand-up set by luck of
00:59:11the draw Buck Wilde has been chosen to go first your one minute starts now you ever had one of those gigs that
00:59:20just went so awry that it pops into your head randomly when you're in the shower and you're like oh mine
00:59:26happened ten years ago when I was double booked for a fundraiser my go-go dancers and I went to the second spot and
00:59:32there's a line of people around the building I was like oh are all these people here for me and I got my answer when we got to the
00:59:38entrance and out front was a sign that said free gumbo I couldn't even be bad because gumbo delicious but free gumbo
00:59:47we were running late so we ran right in got to the stage the DJ goes I don't even know how to introduce
00:59:54this person next he she it and I was like yes and I got to the main event where I had my big prop and I unzipped
01:00:07my pants and pulled out a handkerchief that was a mile long it had a confetti cannon at the end of it by
01:00:14the way and I threw it into the crowd and it landed in a bowl of gumbo where a lady was eating mid-bite she
01:00:21goes what's this and I go that's our time thank you I had a great ending ready for it you know
01:00:29really I don't get the finish it's really funny I promise next up is percosex
01:00:37your one minute starts now
01:00:43distinguished panel of judges and Jeff
01:00:48you know I'm not nervous this is not the first time my bad choices has led to a painful bombing
01:00:55experience because if you saw the people I tried to date you would know and for those who do not
01:01:01know me or Sonic the Hedgehog I am a trans man outside of drag I know you can't tell cuz I'm not
01:01:07wearing a button-down shirt or I'm dressed like Justin Bieber and one thing I love about being a drag king
01:01:13and being trans is that it's easy to explain it cuz straight people both know them as male impersonation
01:01:17oh and one of the perks of me doing drag is I get to wear a lot of amazing outfits
01:01:25when I looked looking at you nice suit it's just feels nice to be able to wear a suit and drag and
01:01:31not be called the defendant if I offended you tonight hello I'm Dave Chappelle
01:01:38court you may now cast your vote for the king you think should stay in the competition
01:01:54starting with you Bridget it's percosex for me Jeffrey I'm gonna vote for percosex to stay
01:02:05Wayne my vote is for Buckwild Sasha this was very close but my vote is also for percosex to stay
01:02:17Tenderoni this was a very hard decision because I love both of these kings my vote is for percosex to stay
01:02:25percosex you are safe your pursuit of the crown continues I'm sending Buckwild home I just didn't
01:02:38feel as connected to Buck in that moment when he's not there it kind of makes me a little
01:02:45vulnerable of all the times that this could happen why this moment when I need him the most
01:02:52king Buckwild I dub thee an honorary member of the king of drag family every one of us behind you
01:03:17has your back you may rise I know this is a tough moment there's no doubt in my mind that I'm good at
01:03:29what I do but the real win is being here having been one of the first 10 is a historical moment but
01:03:37do you have any parting words no matter what life throws at you always remember who the buck you are
