00:00Oh, no, no, why would you? This is a crazy question
00:07Hi, I'm one exchange and I'm answering questions from the confession cube with page six
00:17Which drag race sister has given you the best advice about comedy?
00:21I would say that is Bianca del Rio because it was concise. It was great. It was everything
00:26Something I never thought of she said be funny
00:30Thank you Bianca
00:32You old hag
00:33What can fans expect when they come see you on your road work tour? They can expect me being funny
00:39Also, I think my comedy is really lends itself to the average person that just wants to come out and laugh
00:46Life is so
00:48Every day we wake up to some new crazy
00:51Thing happening to all of us, so it's nice to take a break come sit down at a comedy club drink a margarita and let Monet take
00:57All your worries away with a few jokes
00:59A few hijinks and a few cases of laughter who is your all-time comedy idol?
01:05Oh, that's a tricky one
01:06Okay, the first comedy special that I ever saw was Ellen DeGeneres at the beginning
01:12And it was I think
01:14That's where I learned how to story tell because I watched a comedy special over and over and over again and her ability to
01:21craft a story and
01:24Trap you and you're at the end you you didn't realize you've listened to the story for ten minutes because you've been laughing the entire time and the way that she
01:31Seamlessly weaves in and out also Whoopi Goldberg is a really big idol of mine. I watched her Broadway one-woman show and
01:40That is another
01:41Person again taught me how to story tell and I think I think that's why a lot of my my comedy is
01:46Built around stories and crafting stories and telling stories because those two bitches honey
01:51If you have Whoopi and Ellen as your comedy idols, you will never fail boo boo
01:55Which guests completely shocked you by saying yes, so when they talk so far it would have to be a Tia Mowry
02:03Girl when my amazing publicist told me that we had hooked Tia Mowry. I was like as in sister sister
02:09I'm getting one of the sisters on Monet talks. It was incredible. She came there. She had such good energy
02:15She gave me she gave us a little inside scoop about the drama going on with her and her sister and
02:21After this is a quote and I quote she said this is the best interview I've done all year and it was September
02:29So we were nine months into the year, baby
02:31That's good. What's harder keeping the traders secret or keeping draggery secrets when hosting the pit stop?
02:38I think traders is harder because
02:41When we wrap filming all I wanted to do was tell everyone about the experience I just had
02:47You know, I love at I do game nights a lot at home and we play things like Mafia a werewolf secret
02:53Hello, these these games about like deception
02:55So being able to play like a real alive immersive version of it with cameras everywhere and like the snake-osity and
03:03The deceptosity that happens it was an incredible
03:06I just wanted to spring from the rooftops of what happened
03:08But sooner rather than later you guys will all see exactly what went down in that castle
03:13And I can't wait to see how it turns out you and jigs monsoon did a promo for wicked with ariana grande and Cynthia Erivo
03:21What was it like meeting and working with them? First of all, let me say this and y'all sort of footages is those are some tiny
03:28ladies
03:29Both of them in heels met me at my belly button. Okay, it truly was munchkin land up on that set
03:37doing this video with Cynthia and ariana it was crazy, but they were so lovely and to you know that I've seen Cynthia several times when she when she did the revival of
03:48I'm color purple on Broadway. I legitimately saw the show six signs
03:51I brought my I brought my grandmother one time my aunt one time when was friends
03:55So to see someone like Cynthia Erivo who I have revered and loved for years and meeting her in person and you know
04:01They always say don't meet your idols, but she truly embodies everything. She gives on stage. She is regal
04:07She is royal. She is lovely. She is kind and it was and I mean ariana all the same goes to her and
04:15Justice for eternal sunshine. I am so upset that it did not get any great Grammy noms this year because ariana is
04:22In the new age of our divas, right?
04:24She's one of our new divas and we're not giving her the respect that she deserves so Grammys I
04:28I expect in her next album if she's not nominated for on the low end seven Grammys
04:34We're gonna storm your capital
04:36We're gonna storm the capital in whatever city the Grammys office is and let them have it for miss ariana
04:42When are we getting new music from one exchange? Well, you know
04:47I've been sitting on volume two a gray rumor for a little while because you know
04:51I'm a true multi-hyphenates wall, so I'm like my focus. I'm doing comedy. I'm doing one of my shows
04:56I'm doing talk shows in a podcast
04:58So I want to find a time like the great miss Kiki Palmer and find a time that works in my
05:03schedule so I can clearly only focus on music because I think that y'all deserve that but volume two is done
05:09And um, the world will be hearing it very soon. Look, I even made a heart for you, but you know that I love you so much
05:15It's coming so it's right here
05:16If drag race did a duos or best friends all-star season
05:20Who do you think would be you and Bob's biggest competition? First of all, why do the would you think I would team up with Bob?
05:26Honey, I want a team of beauty and glamor
05:28You think Bob is gonna be my option? No, of course I would team up with Bob
05:32Okay, so the teams are Tristan Katya, Dayla and Jinx, Violet and Gottmik, Shay and Sasha, Roxy and Detox, Kim and Naomi
05:40Bianca and Adore, Raja and Raven, Candy and Aja, Latrice and Manila
05:45I mean no Shay to all the other girls, but clearly the top two teams are Bob and Monet and Dayla and Jinx
05:52Obviously, and I think the final lip sync is gonna be Shoop
05:58by
05:59Salt-N-Pepa
06:00And Bob and I are gonna destroy Jinx and Dayla
06:03For sure
06:05For sure, for sure, for sure
06:06But there's always all-stars duos and they can try them
06:09If you're known for your opera singing, would you ever be open to doing Broadway?
06:13And if so, what would be your dream role of production?
06:16Okay, I've thought long and hard about this, right?
06:19So there are three roles I want to do
06:20Number one, I know Miss Michelle Williams is gonna be in the show until March next year, I think
06:26But I think having Viola Van Horn be a beautiful baritone singer in high horror drag
06:36Would be such a gag
06:37Now I've done the, I've, I've, I've, I've sang it and it sounds great in my register, okay?
06:42So I think a drag queen, a beautiful Monet exchange as Viola Van Horn in that first opening scene
06:49Would be incredible
06:51I would love to do Co-House, um, from Ragtime, which is coming back to Broadway
06:57Um, I, well, I would also love, love, love to be The Wiz
07:02I think The Wiz being a drag queen is a mixed opportunity
07:04Imagine that first number, right?
07:07They come into it, this is The Wiz, you're Emerald City, I'm a drag, drag, drag
07:10The biggest hair, the craziest outfits is
07:14They go off, they come back and I am fully out of drag
07:17I'm like, hey, what y'all doing here?
07:19I'm just, oh, oh, you know, I think that it would be amazing
07:22It's a mixed opportunity, so I know it's on Broadway
07:24But I'll be down to do the tour and then we can bring it back to Broadway again, why not?
07:29I mean, it just closed, but anyway, you, you'll see where I'm going
07:32I think those are three I would love to do
07:33There's another role
07:34Oh, I would love, love, love, love, love to do Collins and Rent
07:38I think Rent is about due for revival
07:40The first revival, y'all, was too early
07:43It had closed like on a Saturday and y'all tried to revive it on Sunday
07:47I was like, girl, give it some time
07:49But now it's been more than a decade?
07:50I think about 15 years
07:52So bring Rent back and bring your old girl to play Collins, honey
07:57I'll even take a banny, but I would like to be Collins
08:00So I can make out with Angel on stage, we hot
08:03Which cast member from The Traitors did you bond with the most?
08:07So y'all, what I'm hearing is y'all want some inside tea
08:10But y'all know I signed an NDA, so I'm not gonna tell you
08:14But I will say this
08:15Alan is really serving looks
08:19Alan is rivaling Mother Rue on the looks
08:22Every episode, I was like, girl, how did you fit all this in your suitcase?
08:26Like she clearly didn't have a bag limit like the rest of us
08:29Alan came with a trolley of dresses
08:32All regal and beautiful and stunning
08:35So Alan was the person I bond with the most on this season of Traitors
08:41You're about to be on The Traitors
08:43What's the biggest thing you learned about yourself filming that show?
08:46I'm a very magnetic person
08:48And I thought, you know, just because I'm Drag Race
08:51And you know, I do drag, whatever
08:52But going on that show, people just love Monet
08:56People fall in love with Monet
08:57I don't know what it is about me
08:59And I learned that that is a very powerful tool in my tool belt
09:04And I just learned how such a magnetic and congenial, lovely bitch I am
09:09IRL with civilians
09:11Because you know, there were a lot of straighties on that show
09:13And the straighties are sometimes very dangerous
09:17But I really liked all of them
09:19And it was, it was, it was, it was a fun time
09:21Well, all except one
09:23If you could cast your dream Traitor season using drag queens
09:27Who would you pick?
09:28Okay, I'm picking Trinity the Tuck
09:31I'm picking Bianca the Rio
09:33I'm picking Mistress Isabel Baroque
09:35So she would be a freaking mess in there
09:37I'm picking James Monsoon
09:39I'm picking, um, Kim Chi
09:41Kahanamon Trees, because she would be great eye candy
09:44Um, and she's not the smartest
09:45So you need, you need those kind of people in there
09:47Um, I'm picking Kokamon Trees
09:50So we can see what she looks like without a filter
09:52Oh, I'm picking Manila Luzon
09:53Because Manila is, mmm
09:55I think she needs a redemption after All-Stars 4
09:57The way, what Naomi Smalls did to her was so mean and unhinged
10:01I think Manila needs to have another moment in the sun
10:04We'll do that on Traitors
10:05I'm bringing in, um, Vanessa Vanjie Mateo
10:08Because she's literally the Tasmanian Devil of Drag
10:12That's her
10:13And then last but not least
10:14I'm gonna bring Raven
10:16Raven is my all-time favorite drag queen
10:18I love Raven
10:19The way that she played her original season and All-Stars was so good
10:24I think she will be amazing in the house
10:26Mimi I'm first
10:26First in the fan voting
10:27I couldn't believe it
10:28Neither could we, girl
10:29Bob was on Traitors and lost last season
10:32If you had, that wasn't it
10:34I, Bob, I added
10:35I added that
10:36They didn't say that
10:36I added that
10:37If you had been playing in her season
10:40What would you have done differently?
10:41I think the housewives were a big block
10:45I think befriending them rather than making enemies with them
10:48Would have been the smarter play
10:49Because the housewives are loyal, okay?
10:52So you gotta just
10:53You gotta recognize your audience
10:55And just play to that audience
10:56I would have definitely been permanent
10:57Like, Dolores
10:58Was, she's a loyal
11:01Dorinda is a loyal person
11:03So I think that the play was to be friends with them
11:06Oh my god
11:06We only have a few more
11:07Our time is almost done
11:09No!
11:10Be honest
11:10Ooh
11:11What's the last thing Bob did that annoys you?
11:16The list goes on
11:18The last thing Bob did to annoy me
11:22We had this thing
11:23This building a podcast
11:24Where Bob is always making fun of the way that I pronounce words
11:28Like
11:28Okay, also you make fun of me
11:30You just said six years
11:32It's years
11:33Years
11:35You think it's pronounced years?
11:36Years
11:37You know, because I
11:38God forbid I have an accent
11:39I have an accent
11:40I'm from
11:40My family's from the Caribbean, St. Lucia
11:42I lived there for a very long time
11:43I have a
11:44Sometimes my New York accent comes out
11:45It's just a thing
11:46I don't hear it
11:48In my mind
11:49I say it like
11:49I say
11:51Bear
11:51And you're probably wondering
11:52Is she talking about the animal or the drink?
11:54I don't know what I'm saying
11:55Because Bob has made
11:57He now I have a
11:58Like a deep
11:58I have trauma about the way I pronounce the word
12:00The word air
12:01Like you're thinking
12:02Is she talking about this
12:03Or the thing we breathe?
12:04I don't know
12:05Now I am so
12:07Conscious about how I say all these words
12:09And when I do interviews or whatever
12:11I whisper these words sometimes
12:13So now
12:14He has created a psychosis for me
12:16And I am trapped in the mire in my brain
12:18Of how to pronounce these words properly
12:20And I probably look crazy sometimes
12:21And you can see the light leave my eyes sometimes
12:23When I say those words in interviews
12:25And I lose myself
12:27Because Bob has given me a complex about it
12:29And now I need therapy
12:30Let's do a podcast Swiss
12:32On F Married Kill with your dream guest
12:35Oh no
12:36No
12:37Why would you
12:38This is a crazy question
12:40Rihanna
12:41SZA
12:42RuPaul
12:44Who would you book?
12:46Who would you bail on?
12:46And who would you make a co-host for an episode?
12:49Jesus Christ
12:50Okay
12:50I'm gonna book Rihanna
12:52I'm going to co-host with SZA
12:55Obviously
12:56Kicking it with SZA for an hour
12:58I would freaking die
13:00And I would have to bail on RuPaul
13:04He
13:05I love him
13:06I love him so much
13:07But
13:08Rihanna and SZA
13:09Ru-ru
13:10Baby
13:11I got
13:11A girl gotta do what she gotta do
13:12Okay
13:13So
13:14Sorry about that mother
13:15Which sibling rivalry episode or moment
13:17Do friends bring up to you the most?
13:20Girl it has to be the episode
13:21When we were recording it
13:22And Jacob was like
13:23There's a video of Monet
13:24When she won Miss Gay Caribbean
13:26He brings up this video
13:28And crowned
13:29The Miss Gay Caribbean pageant
13:31How does it feel?
13:31It feels so good
13:32So good
13:33Just as sweet as Saint Lucia
13:35And there's a video of me
13:38This was like 2015
13:39I had this
13:40Girl this is back when those crazy color contacts
13:42When I had these like
13:44Crazy ice blue like cartoon color lenses on
13:47I just won this pageant
13:48And they were interviewing me
13:49This woman
13:50And I said the iconic lines
13:52It's so good
13:53So good
13:54Just as sweet as Saint Lucia
13:55And that
13:56A lot of girls use them in their YouTube videos
13:58People say to me
13:59A meet and greets all the time
14:00And because they can't believe I had an accent
14:02I'm like yes
14:03Bitch I have an accent
14:03Leave me alone
14:04Who intimidated you the most
14:07Going into the traitors?
14:08Intimidated because I'm such a fan
14:10And I love her
14:11She's so stunning
14:13And I love her even more after the show
14:14Because now I like met her
14:16She's a real person
14:16I'm obsessed with her
14:17But I was intimidated
14:19Because I wanted to like
14:19I wanted her to think like
14:20I'm cool
14:21And I'm like
14:22Fair
14:22So
14:23It was
14:23Portia Williams
14:25And she is just
14:27As fierce
14:28Fabulous
14:29And
14:31As she is on TV
14:33Love her
14:33Obsessed with her
14:34She's so beautiful
14:35The body's ever
14:36Girl
14:37Love Portia Williams
14:38Favorite person ever
