12:24¡Oh, my gosh!
12:27Darlene, that was so dumb.
12:32Now fill her up and check the oil.
12:36Okay, it's time for the judges' critiques.
12:40Darlene, I loved that performance.
12:43First of all, I love that you did this kind of rainbow choir robe,
12:48and then the reveal to my favorite thing, gauntlets.
12:52You had them on.
12:54You know, it's been so much fun, this whole competition,
12:56to be able to watch you come into your own.
12:58You really, in the beginning, were kind of low-key and struggling,
13:02and then I think something clicked, and you just realized who you were.
13:06That's why that shirt that you're wearing right now is so very important.
13:10And I think the most important thing I'd like to thank you for
13:13is not wearing those shoes tonight.
13:17Save a horse, ride a drag queen.
13:19That was fantastic.
13:21Putting the hoe back and hoe down.
13:23I loved every second of it.
13:24And I have this same t-shirt, but I'm really resonating with this one right now
13:29because I love you as well.
13:32Great job.
13:32Thank you.
13:34Darlene Flo Mitchell.
13:37I love you so much.
13:38I mean, you weren't just cooking with gas.
13:40You had a little bit of electric up in there.
13:42You were a hybrid tonight.
13:43You killed it, and I could not take my eyes off you.
13:47Congratulations.
13:48So proud of you tonight.
13:50Aw.
13:51Okay, listen, I'm afraid to ask this question,
13:54but where did you get your sense of style?
13:56Just lucky, I guess.
13:59Some chose books.
14:00I chose looks.
14:04Now, as the judges said, you were the dark horse of this season.
14:08When did you realize you could win this whole competition?
14:12When I took the roast, relying on nothing but my stupid.
14:17That really kind of let me know,
14:20like, oh, I'm winning this whole thing.
14:23Like, it was, that was it.
14:27Now, before you were Darlene Mitchell,
14:29you were Trash the Drag Queen.
14:33So I have to ask,
14:35Darlene, what would you say to 24-year-old Trash?
14:41Oh, no!
14:44Work, bitch!
14:45Girl, you have work in the morning.
14:47You need to,
14:49You need to get to bed and blend, bitch!
14:55And now, what would you say to five-year-old Blake?
14:59Oh.
15:01I would say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you
15:05and that there will come a day when you might not think that you will see another one.
15:11But I'm standing here today to tell you that you find your light,
15:16you find your purpose,
15:16you find a smokin' hot fiancée.
15:19Thank you!
15:21Woo!
15:24And when it comes to your family,
15:28you will be delightfully surprised at how hearts and minds can change.
15:34And I love you.
15:37What a precious, precious baby.
15:40Now, who's here supporting you tonight?
15:42I have my beautiful fiancé, Brandon, and my dear friend, Molly.
15:46Hi, y'all.
15:47Hi.
15:48Hi.
15:48Hi.
15:48Now, Brandon is your creative collaborator.
15:52What's it like seeing her up on the stage, Brandon?
15:54Uh, surreal.
15:56Um, I'm so proud.
15:58We've been working together for, like, almost ten years,
16:00and we've been dating for almost ten years,
16:02and to see him here at the finale, I can't believe it.
16:06I'm so proud of you, and I'm rooting for you.
16:11Very sweet.
16:12Very kind.
16:13Your friend Molly's here, also.
16:15Molly, you've been on Team Soldiers for Darlene for a long time, haven't you?
16:19It's a long time.
16:19What is your role?
16:21Um, it was mostly a passenger princess.
16:24You mean Uber driver?
16:27Sort of.
16:28Lots of sing-alongs in the car on the way to the show in full face.
16:32Uh-huh.
16:32Lots of weeknight shows with varying degrees of crowd attendance.
16:38Well, that's gonna change now.
16:40Yes, definitely.
16:42Now, Darlene, what would it mean to you to become America's next drag superstar?
16:46It would mean that every success and struggle and tacky outfit along this journey had a purpose,
16:57and that the voice inside me that was telling me to never give up on this dream was right.
17:04It would also mean that y'all are about to see a lot more mall drag in the streets.
17:11All right!
17:12Ladies and gentlemen, Darlene Mitchell!
17:20If you're Team Darlene Mitchell, sound off using hashtag Drag Race.
17:28Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
17:31Up next, she came here a chorus girl, but she's leaving a star.
17:36It's Mikey Meeks!
17:42I am Mikey Meeks, and I'm known as the drag ingenue.
17:46But lately, I've been feeling more like the leading lady.
17:50This roller coaster was the best ride of my life!
17:54She means it!
17:56Do not miss out on the opportunity!
17:59From Drew Barrymore, to Lollipop, Spanish gnome, to a Karen Gone Wild.
18:06It has been an incredible journey.
18:09You walked down and I wrote star.
18:11You've got just a sparkle.
18:12We just want to watch you and see what you do.
18:15Away!
18:19My highest point was the rusical.
18:21I found an art form of mine that I put to the side because I thought I wasn't good enough
18:26for it.
18:26Tonight was so incredible for you.
18:29My lowest point was that damn...
18:31Rated Queen.
18:32Fifth position, Miss Mikey Meeks.
18:35Damn.
18:35These girls really tried it.
18:37They voted me to be in the bottom, but the Meeks lives on.
18:41I wore that shirt that said revenge.
18:43Baby, I got it.
18:44Who do you think you're talking to?
18:45I'm Mikey motherfucking Meeks.
18:48Hi!
18:49I'm sitting pretty with four wins.
18:52And not just four wins.
18:53I won the last three challenges in a row.
18:57Condragulations.
18:58Condragulations.
18:59Condragulations.
19:00You're the winner of this week's challenge.
19:02I want to win this so bad.

19:28Comedy and drama, I can switch between the two.
19:33Just give me any role and I'll go that extra mile.
19:38I'm a natural performer and by God, I'm versatile.
19:46Weather bottom billing or top of the marquee.
19:50I'll bend over backwards so I'll play it on my knees.
19:53I can handle any part, big or small.

20:03Broadway, virgin or theater geek.
20:06I can make you cum eight times a week.
20:09In a group scene or a one woman show.
20:13I'll leave you with a standing ooooooh.
20:20As an orgasm, get ready for my big finish.

21:14First up, Michelle Visage.
21:15Jordi, you look like a Visage tonight,
21:18and I am very proud of that.
21:20You know what, Mikey?
21:21You've been strong through this whole competition,
21:24but I think what you did tonight was really smart
21:27because your song, what's it called, Versatile?
21:30Correct.
21:31I'm versatile, too.
21:32I've heard that about you.
21:34Here you are at the end, and you are branding.
21:38You are letting people know what you are able to do.
21:42You sang it, you danced it, you showed it.
21:44I thought it was fantastic.
21:48Thank you.
21:48Thank you, Michelle.
21:50Wow, you are what they call a triple threat.
21:52You can sing, you can dance, and you can serve gorgeous face.
21:56I mean, you looked stunning from the moment you started.
21:58It was a smash performance.
22:00You are versed, but you're actually a top performer
22:04because that was amazing.
22:08Thank you, Chrissy.
22:09Mikey, that was a hard performance to do,
22:12and you did it perfectly.
22:15It was well executed,
22:16and you could see your heart on the stage.
22:19Like, you left it on the floor.
22:21Great job tonight.
22:22Oh, thank you so much.
22:24All right.
22:26Now, what did you learn about yourself on Drag Race?
22:29You know, coming in,
22:30I would get a lot of positive affirmation from others,
22:33and I would hear it, but I didn't always feel it.
22:37Well, being here,
22:38I learned how to channel that energy
22:41and what other people see in me,
22:43and now I'm standing here with that power.
22:46I came in as an ingenue,
22:48but now I'm leaving a leading lady.
22:50Yeah!
22:52Yeah!
22:55All right, leading lady,
22:56if you could turn back time,
22:58what message would you give
22:59to little five-year-old Michael?
23:04Bru, that's from my college graduation.
23:09I would say,
23:10little Michael,
23:12you're about to experience
23:13a life full of love and laughter
23:17with the best friends in the world
23:21and two parents who support you
23:24for who you are.
23:26And you may be teased for that same reason,
23:28but just know
23:30that they're pointing out your superpower.
23:33You were born to stand out,
23:35so go for it.
23:36And every time you wrap yourself
23:38in a blanket skirt
23:40like it's the only gown,
23:43you're preparing yourself
23:44for greatness.
23:46And stick with the name Mikey.
23:48I love it!
23:50I love it!
23:52It's funny.
23:53You look exactly the same.
23:56You look exactly the same.
23:57And I'm looking,
23:58what appears to be your father
23:59and your mother.
24:00Correct.
24:00You look exactly like the both of them.
24:02I know, I know!
24:03It looks like Dad Bernie
24:04is wearing one of my jackets.
24:06Yes, yes!
24:06Gorgeous.
24:07Faye, did you dress him tonight?
24:09I did.
24:09You did?
24:10I bought the clothes
24:11because she dressed me.
24:13I know!
24:14So now,
24:15where does Mikey get
24:16her stage presence?
24:17Which one of you?
24:18Mom?
24:19Well, I was
24:21a dancer.
24:23You were a showgirl!
24:24I was a little bit
24:25a showgirl.
24:26Yes, yes, yes.
24:28But no,
24:28he was born that way.
24:30Yeah.
24:30He had the passion
24:31to be a performer
24:32when he was a youngster.
24:34Really?
24:34Always entertaining.
24:35When Regis Philbin
24:36had his show.
24:37Who wants to be a millionaire?
24:38Yeah.
24:38He would do the imitation
24:39to anybody who walked by.

25:17You know, Ru,
25:17I'm a big believer
25:19and everything happens
25:21for a reason.
25:22And in my life
25:23and career,
25:24I have faced
25:25a lot of rejection.
25:26But I never
25:27lived by the nose
25:29because I knew
25:30it was leading
25:31to my ultimate yes.
25:32And that's what
25:33this moment is right here.
25:34You've said it yourself.
25:36You can look
25:37at the darkness
25:38but don't stare.
25:40So with this title,
25:41I'm stepping into my light
25:43and I hope to inspire
25:44others to do the same.

26:11of RuPaul's Drag Race.
26:13This next queen
26:14has turned
26:15the art of drag
26:16into a science.

26:19Yeah.
26:24I'm Nene Coco.
26:25I am the high-energy,
26:27high-fashion diva

26:32very hot with the wind.
26:34I will wear this outfit
26:35outside.
26:36I love it.
26:37And it was not long
26:38before the reality
26:39of the competition
26:40hit me.
26:41Ooh!
26:42I feel like I was
26:43overthinking
26:44what I had to do.
26:45Wait, I'll go eat too.
26:47There have been
26:47a couple hiccups.
26:48Mr. Paul!
26:50It's not a family resemblance
26:51to me.
26:52But at the end of the day,
26:53I have pushed through
26:54and given my all
26:56every step of the way.
26:57Hey!
26:59There are so many moments
27:00of joy sprinkled
27:01throughout this experience.
27:02Let's breathe, baby!
27:04I've proven that
27:05I am funny.

27:15of this competition
27:15through lip sync
27:17after lip sync
27:17after lip sync.
27:19Woo!
27:20I feel like I got off
27:21to a rough start
27:22with some of the queens.
27:23Nene, got out of the garden.
27:24Nene, got out of the garden.
27:25Nene, got out of the garden.
27:26But by the end
27:27of the competition,
27:28I found a way
27:29to communicate better.
27:30I want to connect
27:31with y'all
27:31and I like struggle
27:33to do that in moments.
27:34This experience taught me
27:35that the art of drag
27:37is an amazing way
27:39to express emotion,
27:40but you have to understand
27:43the core humanity
27:44within all of it
27:45and that is the most important.
27:49I walked into this competition
27:51as a mechanical engineer
27:52and I am leaving
27:53being a drag superstar.
27:55I'm so ready
27:55for this final performance.
27:56I have one last thing
27:57to prove
27:58and it's that
27:58I deserve this round.
28:01Bitch, get ready.
28:04And now,
28:05performing Stimulate
28:07is the electrifying
28:08Nene Coco.
28:10Automate.

30:00¡Suscríbete al canal!
30:10That was so amazing, so tight, and you had to be with that type of choreography.
30:17This is what it looks like when you keep your eye on the prize.
30:21It's been so fun, and you've been amazing.
30:23Thank you, Michelle.
30:24Yeah.
30:26Oh, my gosh, I'm cuckoo for Nene Coco.
30:29It was just so captivating.
30:31From the moment you started that really intense choreography, we were all drawn in.
30:35We were locked in.
30:36The audience was with you the entire time.
30:38That was really phenomenal.
30:40Congratulations.
30:41Thanks, guys.
30:44Nene, you ate that performance up.
30:47Yes, and I'm so proud of you because that was not easy.
30:50From the reveal to coming down off the table onto a chair in the heel,
30:54and then doing the fast performance in the chair, that was crazy.
30:57So just all season long, you really showed what it takes to be a real entertainer.
31:05Beautiful job.
31:06Beautiful.
31:09Now, Nene, what did you learn about yourself during your time at Drag Race?
31:13The moral of the story for me was it's not that serious, and for so much of my life, I've
31:19been afraid of taking risks, and this competition throws that out the window.
31:23So let it all go, and just have fun.
31:26Yeah, yeah.
31:27How did you get along with the other queens?
31:30Uh, queens?
31:31Care to share?
31:31Yeah.
31:34I feel like there was a point at the beginning of the competition where I was coming in a little
31:39bit hot with some of the shade.
31:40I learned a lot that half of this competition is the challenges, and the other half is the relationships that
31:46you build with these other girls.
31:48And thankfully, throughout all of that and letting go of some of that insecurity, I feel like I've been able
31:54to find so many friends in all of you.
31:56And thank y'all for being patient with me as I learned how to communicate really what I meant and
32:01what I was trying to say.
32:02We love you.
32:03We love you.
32:04We love you.
32:05Love you, girls.
32:06Now, Nini Coco, what words of wisdom do you have to share with three-year-old Niko?
32:14Oh, my God.
32:20Um, you are such a happy little kid, and I want you to hold on to that for as long
32:28as you can.
32:30And because I think when you realize that you're a little bit different than everybody else, you're going to start
32:36to feel scared of who you are and what people think about you and get scared of this future that
32:42you can't control.
32:43But I want you to know and remember one thing, and that is your queerness is the greatest gift that
32:53this life has to give you.
32:54And, um, I want you to go to more parties and don't study so hard, be faggy every single day,
33:04and I hope that I made you proud because you make me so proud.
33:11Ah, lovely.
33:14Now, I see a beautiful woman and a gorgeous man in the front row here.
33:18Yes, that is my mom, Kim, and my boyfriend, AJ.
33:23Mom, are those cheekbones natural?
33:25I'm afraid they are.
33:28They are gorgeous!
33:32Now, when you saw Nini Coco in drag the first time, did you see yourself? Who did you see?
33:37Oh, absolutely saw me.
33:39Uh-huh.
33:40The very first time, um, he was in a dark wig.
33:44Uh-huh.
33:44And he goes, he looks just like you. It freaked me out, so.
33:49Now, AJ, you are also in the science world.
33:53How did two nerds like you meet? Is there a, like a, is there a grinder or something for nerds?
33:58Is it called nerder?
33:59Yeah, science nerder.
34:01Yeah.
34:02How did you guys meet?
34:03Yeah, we were in school, just going at it and, uh.
34:07Oh!
34:08Oh!
34:11How do two smart people make a relationship work for so long?
34:16Honestly, he's, he's the wings to my anchor. We just, we, we, we paired really well.
34:23I love that. I love it. Final question. Nini Coco, why do you want to be America's next drag superstar?
34:33I feel like drag is my own liberation and it is the thing that makes me feel the most alive.
34:39And be America's next drag superstar. I feel that calling and that responsibility to progress all of us towards a
34:48queer future that is better for everyone because the life we're living today feels kind of fucked.
34:54And if we can bring some more joy and some more power to queerness and all of us people who
35:01are struggling, that, that is the purpose that drag gives me. And I want to share that with the rest
35:05of the world.
35:06Oh, lovely. One more round of applause for Nini Coco.
35:11Oh, Nini girl, it's your world.
35:16If you are team Nini Coco, sound off using hashtag drag race.
35:24Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race. There's only one word to describe Miley Cyrus. Charisma, uniqueness,
35:33nerve, and talent.
35:36M is for music. Miley doesn't just make hits. She creates bangers. The Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter can do
35:44it all. Country, rock, pop, and hip-hop. Her unique voice is always rich, raspy, and revolutionary.
35:51I is for iconic. Whether swinging from a wrecking ball, duetting with her godmother, Dolly Parton, or storming the red
35:58carpet from TV specials to the VMAs, Miley is the moment.
36:03Miley commands every stage she's on and every stage she's in. L is for the love Miley showers upon our
36:10community.
36:11We will continue to fight against judgment.
36:14By raising millions with her Happy Hippie Foundation, an important branch of the Miley Cyrus Foundation, she fights for homeless
36:20queer youth.
36:21And by using her platform to advocate for equality, Miley has already created an impactful legacy and achieved LGBTQ plus
36:29icon status.
36:30E is for extraordinary. Miley was just 11 years old when she secured the lead role of Hannah Montana, a
36:36show that bridged her childhood with rapid pop culture fame.
36:40Her ability to evolve, like her talent, is extraordinary. She's an inspiration to us all as she continues to grow
36:46as a person and an artist.
36:47And why is for the 20 years Miley has spent rewriting the rules, reminding us that reinvention is power.
36:54That the bravest thing you can be is unapologetically yourself.
36:58And at 33, she's just getting started.
37:00For her dazzling contributions, past, present, and future, tonight we celebrate Miley Cyrus with the Giving Us Lifetime Achievement Award.
37:12All rise for Miley Cyrus.
37:16This is what we get, this is what we get, this is what we get, this is what we get,
37:29this is what we get.
37:39This is what we get, this is what we get, this is what we get, this is what we get,
37:48this is what we get, this is what we get, this is what we get, this is what we get,
37:53this is what we get.
37:53I love it!
37:54This makes the Grammy look cheap.
37:58Miley, my darling, now you've been working in this business since you were a child.
38:03What keeps you going?
38:04Moments like this, to stand beside my idols and icons, like Mother Rue, and get my flowers, but to also
38:16use my platform to serve this incredible community.
38:20I love that, I love that.
38:22Now, I always wanted to ask you, why do you love drag so much?
38:27Well, because I'm a drag queen.
38:28Yeah, well there you go.
38:29And I love the idea of an alter ego giving us power, and you know, my persona just performed in
38:34Paris with Beyoncé, so she's my hero.
38:38Oh my gosh, now as a super fan, is there a drag race challenge that you would absolutely kill?
38:45Snatch game, as Hannah Montana.
38:48Yay!
38:52That's right.
38:56All right, Miley, one last question.
38:58What would you say to your four-year-old self?
39:03Aw.
39:06Life's a climb, but the view is great, especially from Beverly Hills.
39:16Miley, we love you, we thank you, and we will always be there for you.
39:21Give it up for Miley Cyrus.
39:33Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
39:37Tonight, we salute three legendary queens who kept the lights on so the rest of us could keep on shining.
39:47William Dorsey Swann, a formerly enslaved black man, was the first person to call themselves the queen of drag.
39:53In the 1800s, Swann threw secret balls in Washington, D.C.
39:57When the police raided one of her parties, she didn't run, she resisted, and became the first American to take
40:04legal action in defense of LGBTQ rights.
40:08A World War II veteran, Jose Saria, also known as Mama Jose, and the Nightingale of Montgomery Street, performed at
40:16the legendary Black Cat Bar.
40:17During police raids, she led the patrons in rousing rendition of God Save Us Nelly Queens.
40:23In 1961, in full drag, Jose ran for San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay person to
40:32run for public office in the United States of America.
40:36In the 1960s, Mother Flawless Sabrina organized hundreds of drag pageants across the country in cities where it was illegal
40:46for men to wear women's clothing.
40:48And when the police showed up, Flawless faced arrest so her queens wouldn't have to.
40:53Jailed over 100 times, she continued to be a fearless and outspoken advocate into her late 70s.
41:00And her work is immortalized in the iconic documentary, The Queen.
41:07Attention, dolls and divas, cubs and chubs, twinks and twunks, thems and fems.
41:13Now it's your turn to keep the lights on.
41:16You can start by donating to the ACLU Drag Defense Fund so future generations can share their queer joy with
41:23the world.
41:23Bob, does that mean we can't stop pedaling?
41:27Nuh-uh.
41:28We gotta keep on keeping on.
41:31I'll drink to that.
41:34And now, please welcome our reigning Miss Congeniality, Crystal Envy.
41:40Ah, ah, ah, I'm not bitch. Ah, I'm that bitch. Ah, ah, I'm that bitch.
41:44That's the way it is. Ah, ah, I'm that bitch. Ah, I'm that bitch. That's the way it is.
41:50Don't, don't want to wish, if you be that bitch. That you be that bitch. It's unanimous.
41:56I'm that bitch.
42:06Good evening.
42:07You know, when it comes to being congenial,
42:10I'm 100% that bitch.
42:15And tonight, I am so excited to announce
42:17that the winner of Season 18's Miss Congeniality
42:20will receive $10,000
42:23presented by the new and improved Native Deodorant.
42:27¡Oh, Dios!
42:29¡Oh, Dios!
42:30¡The queens have voted!
42:32¡And the winner is...
42:36¡Jane Doe!
42:42¡How did that happen?
42:47¡Thank you!
42:48¡Oh, my God!
42:51¡Condragulations, Jane Doe!
42:53¿What do you have to say?
42:54Well, congeniality is not something the women in my family generally aspire to,
43:00but one of the best, like, gifts that this whole experience has given me
43:03is my relationships with these girls.
43:05You are the best prize that I think any of us get, so thank you so much.
43:09I love you, I love you, I love you.
43:10Thank you!
43:14But hold up, hold up.
43:15Do you smell that?
43:17Ooh, it's the sweet smell of success.
43:20Yes, because Native Deodorant would also like to offer all the other queens $2,000 each
43:26for a fabulous season!
43:33Congratulations, queens.
43:34No, France, queen.
43:35France!
43:50Welcome back to the grand finale of RuPaul's Drag Race.
43:53Now, I have some exciting news.
43:54For the first time in Drag Race herstory,
43:58this season's winner will snatch up an official makeup collaboration
44:02with Anastasia Beverly Hills.
44:05Earlier this week, our top three queens met with ABH president Norvina.
44:10Take a look.
44:16Studio Anastasia Beverly Hills.
44:18Bitch!
44:19How are you?
44:20Welcome!
44:21This is a dream come true, going through all this stuff.
44:25I wanted to know from you, like, what would be you in a product?
44:28My drag is all about bold colors, super pigmented eyeshadow.
44:33Two aesthetic points that I really go for.
44:35Old Hollywood glamour, and then that party girl aesthetic.
44:38Bright blush, bright highlight, tacky, trashy, you know what I mean?
44:43Okay.
44:43The girl you would see outside of the truck stop.
44:45You know, the blue eyeshadow.
44:46Okay.
44:47This is so incredible.
44:49This is a long time coming.
44:50What I've always wanted to do is just share some of the excitement for the winner
44:53and really highlight and prop them up with something that I feel could express themselves
44:58in a way that they do every single day on the show, which is makeup.
45:02So what colors are you feeling?
45:04I feel like a pinky highlight would be great, too, to go into the blush.
45:07Like a silvery pink.
45:07Silvery pink would go into the blush.
45:09My whole idea is when the spotlight hits, you see the glow going on.
45:14So it's an undercover explosion.
45:17Absolutely.
45:17Oh, I love that.
45:18Right?
45:18Yeah.
45:19Okay.
45:19So you want like a gradient of blue.
45:21Like a gradient of blue would be fantastic.
45:23I love it.
45:24Kind of do like a darker tone right under here.
45:26Exactly.
45:26That really pops the green in your eyes.
45:28Okay.
45:28You know all your compliments.
45:30Yeah.
45:30It's amazing.
45:31I'm so impressed.
45:32I grew up with these big Texas sunsets.
45:34And you're getting ready for the night.
45:35That golden hour is that last moment to make that impact in the light.
45:39And I do always lean into those sunset colors.
45:41This is wild.
45:42I like it though.
45:43Drag is so important.
45:44It always has been, but especially right now.
45:47Makeup is a big part of it.
45:48And we want to show that we're here to celebrate drag.
45:52I think that drag is like the beacon of light amongst all the fuckery.
45:56Can I say fuckery?
45:58Sorry.
45:59I got way too passionate right now.
46:01That's okay.
46:02Mine look amazing.
46:04You like?
46:05Yes.
46:05I love.
46:06I've never thought of myself as a makeup queen.
46:09I like how I paint and I feel like it's worked for me.
46:12I want to try one of these too.
46:13Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:14But to go beyond that and create something I'd use for my drag makeup.
46:18Oh, that is so exciting.
46:19So good.
46:20To think that someone would want to do their makeup like mine.
46:23Big Bold and Tacky, that's wild.
46:28Amazing.
46:28Having my own makeup product.
46:30This is the last thing on my bucket list that I didn't even know existed.
46:35Large.
46:36But now that I've gotten a taste of it, baby, the empire is about to be built.
46:40Watch out.
46:42I love it.
46:44Now, America's reigning drag superstar had quite a year.
46:48Take a look.
46:52Ooh, let's get it.
46:53Do it, girl.
46:54It's your girl.
46:55On your nerves.
46:56Ow!
46:57Bitch, fupa, ha, ate a chicken wing.
47:00I want to see her post SNL one day.
47:02You really crack the code.
47:03You mean quack the code?
47:04Oh, girl.
47:06It is a master class in having stage presence.
47:09Now that's a high-class prostitute.
47:11Excuse me.
47:14America's next drag superstar is...
47:17On your nerves.
47:19Yeah!
47:22Left foot in, out.
47:24Right foot in, out.
47:28It do take nerves!
47:33And now, please welcome our reigning queen, On Your Nerves.
47:38It do take nerves.
47:40Take nerves.
47:41To bring in all this success.
47:43It do take nerves.
47:45And work.
47:45Something tells me I've been among your nerves.
47:49I heard.
47:50You're talking one different type.
47:51It's the goose first.
47:53Cause, baby, it do take nerves.
48:03On your nerves.
48:05On your nerves.
48:06On your nerves.
48:07Hey!
48:08Now, listen.
48:09Is being America's next drag superstar everything you thought it would be?
48:13You know, it's everything I thought it would be and more.
48:16You know, I'm able to do drag full-time at its highest capacity.
48:20And I'm able to help my friends and family out like I've never been able to before.
48:26And I'm able to travel the world, and I got a lot more money in my bank account.
48:29I love that!
48:32Now, how's your daddy?
48:34Everyone loves your daddy.
48:35Everybody loves Nanya business.
48:38He's like Cleveland famous now.
48:40Really?
48:41Yes, he was on a vacation on like a carnival ship.
48:44He wasn't acting up like your people on carnival, was he?
48:46You know he was.
48:47You know he was.
48:49You know he was.
48:49But there was a drag queen on the ship who noticed who he was.
48:52And the entire vacation, he was like the famous man on the ship.
48:56Oh!
48:56And when he at the grocery store, little black ladies would be like, I see you, Nanya!
49:01While he's shopping for his chicken wings.
49:05Okay, so what's next for you, Anya?
49:08Oh!
49:08What's next?
49:09I mean, I...
49:11After winning RuPaul's Drag Race, I'm just excited to continue to do everything that I've
49:16wanted to do in my life.
49:18Everything that I've dreamed of.
49:20I want to be the first drag queen to win an EGOT.
49:22I mean, why not?
49:23Why not?
49:25I love that.
49:26It do take nerve.
