00:00Tell me, what's the first memory you have of Oprah or watching her show?
00:05Well, I'm a millennial, so like for us, Oprah's deep in our hearts because of the memes.
00:10You know, like that one where she's like, bees, and there's bees flying all over the place.
00:16Also, the film Beloved.
00:19Because I lived too deep in the country to be a daytime TV watcher, but the film Beloved, oh my
00:23god, she was so amazing in it.
00:24But you lived too deep in the country to have TV or to watch TV?
00:27Well, we didn't get stations. We lived so far that everything was so snowy.
00:31But I mean, even my mom and grandma, who like never watched anything, of course watched Oprah.
00:35Now, you've been doing drag a few years. I mean, you're still very...
00:39Five years. I'm like that Titanic thing. It's been 84 years.
00:42Oh my god, when I got the call a couple days ago, I was like, I'm either being punked or
00:46I'm there to like surprise somebody for their birthday.
00:49It was so cool. I mean, it's crazy. My condo's two blocks from here.
00:53Put on the wig and walk two blocks and go to lunch with Oprah. Yeah.
00:55I mean, this is like, I feel like as a drag queen, every time I get to do something like
00:59this, it's like a merit badge for us.
01:01You're not just a man in a wig, you're also an entertainer, and we acknowledge that.
