The legendary entertainer broke the record with 11 wins for his work on 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'
“For you kids out there watching, you have a tribe that is waiting for you,” he said onstage while flanked by co-host and co-producer Michelle Visage, as well as recent contestants Symone and Gottmik. “We are waiting for you. Come home to Mama Ru.”RuPaul, who serves as both host and producer on the long-running show, already picked up the award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program for a sixth consecutive time at the Creative Arts Emmys last Sunday.
Additionally, RuPaul won a second trophy at the Creative Arts ceremony for the “Drag Race” companion series “Untucked,” which he also produces, in the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category. “Drag Race” also nabbed wins for directing, casting and picture editing for a structured reality competition show, bringing the franchise’s total wins to six this year.
First launched back in 2009, “Drag Race” has become a full-fledged global phenomenon, recently wrapping up its 13th season in April. The series has also spawned multiple spinoffs, including the much-beloved “All-Stars” version. “All-Stars” recently crowned Kylie Sonique Love as the first transgender contestant to win during the finale of the sixth season, which wrapped up earlier this month.
In recent years, “Drag Race” has also gone international with editions in the U.K., Thailand, Canada and Holland, as well as forthcoming programs based in Spain, Italy and the Philippines.
