00:00In the beginning years of Drag Race, all the fans, we were like,

00:03oh, this is going to be the last season.

00:04Like, there's no way they're going to let this show stay on the air.

00:06There's no way.

00:08And then I remember after season one aired, I went to a club called The Ritz

00:11to go see Nina Flowers.

00:14And, like, I had never seen that many people packed into that bar, like, ever.

00:20I thought to myself, I'm going to go down.

00:22There's going to be, like, 12 of us there.

00:24I'm going to give Nina her money.

00:25I couldn't even get into the bar, right?

00:28So there are a lot of us who we knew in our little niche circles

00:31how big Drag Race, how remarkable Drag Race was.

00:33But something about this season and the way it caught on.

00:37This season was massive.

00:38The production value itself in terms of the storytelling,

00:42not just, like, ooh, more budget, but, like,

00:47stepped their game up.

00:48This is not the first season when an Emmy, actually, my season was.

00:53I'm not saying it's because of me, but we can't prove it wasn't.
