About The RuPaul Show

The RuPaul Show ended on September 24, 1998, on VH1. The show concluded after its second season, with the final episode airing on that date.

The RuPaul Show was a talk show hosted by drag diva RuPaul Charles that aired from 1997 to 1998. It was inspired by the flashy variety shows of the 1970s, featuring RuPaul making a glamorous entrance on a set, walking down a runway, and performing a song. The series included interviews with a diverse range of celebrities, from iconic figures like Cher and Lynda Carter to pop stars such as the Backstreet Boys, as well as mainstream entertainers like Nell Carter. Each episode combined fashion, music, and celebrity interviews in a lively format.

The show starred RuPaul as the host and Michelle Visage as the co-host. It did not have a publicly rated score, and each episode had a runtime of approximately 30 minutes.
