It’s what finally got me to subscribe and turn on notifications

[@Oscar1edezma]

@@nainai6030 Me too. I've watch videos, but until seeing Monet I actually subscribed.

[@NickoseLayne]

This is my favourite interview that Rupaul has given in a long time. He was in his element; wise, beautiful, comfortable. LOVE!

[@seanmarks6304]

This is one of the first interviews in a while where he doesn't seem like he's coked out :D !!!!

[@ShaneTallon88]

We all love when Ru laughs

[@DJPoundPuppy]

I think he legitimately likes Monét and he felt at ease.

[@starkid910]

PLUS: It was an interview from someone who *gets it*. Who *gets drag*. Who gets the common phrasing and references. Who didn’t ask him the same 5 tired questions and asked him to give them a damn drag name after having met for less than 10 minutes.

[@ShaneTallon88]

Check out Oprah’s interview of Ru cause it’s great!! And also Oprah of jk Rowling that wrote Harry potter

[@devinmarks8571]

Monet is such a good interviewer, I love this I hope she continues with her show and grows bigger thank you Build for allowing Monet to share herself and giving her a platform

[@Iiuoypline]

@Shinobu Tsurubushi what?

[@donovan3353]

Shinobu Tsurubushi Girl, shut up.

[@kithand1106]

@Shinobu Tsurubushi girl what...?

[@grammyyelog]

i agree that Monet is a good interviewer, but not great. it only works for now as she knows Ru well, but lets wait when the guest is alien to her knowledge.

[@tbhant9604]

@Shinobu Tsurubushi you are racist babes, you called black queens blackies.. we aint forget baby

[@edaumaysol]

"That's a JOKE you guys" omg Ru is so personable here. He seems genuinely proud of Monet and actually likes answering these questions. Monet is a great interviewer too.

[@aidenvega9416]

“Is it dirty?” “It is not dirt-“ “WELL LETS MAKE IT DIRTY” I love ru

[@theOstenHugo]

Aiden Vega same!!! and i love how she/he hasn’t changed since her days in the 80’s...i watched her old videos that Nelson (bless his heart for filming) made x put on KZbin x i swear Ru is still just as charismatic x charming x his mannerisms are the same too!

[@thiagoxxiv]

I loved Monet and Rupaul together ❤️❤️❤️

[@yesitsyiyi]

Not even a year after winning and she already has her own show.

[@user-pp8yc3wu4r]

she deserves

[@markgrainge8198]

Her and Bob have been two of my all time favourite DQs!

[@tbhant9604]

Not even six months*

[@sibais]

And a Superbowl Pepsi commercial!

[@marckid93]

But watch these white and hispanic gays be like "bUt SHeZ nAwT tHe REaL wInNeR"

[@ghostie6190]

It's really refreshing to see an interview where ru is relaxed and can have good discussion without the typical drag 101 questions. Also I stan monét as an interviewer

[@johnnyarellano7653]

Bob the drag queen better come on the show lol they are sooooooo funny lol

[@justjo510]

That would be everythaang! 😸

[@eddiezuniga1268]

But how will he interview himself

[@chaayaje]

Eddie Zuniga hate you

[@chimcham6762]

Eddie Zuniga THE DOOOOOOR!!!!! 🚪 😩😂😂😭😭

[@jadomino]

Or it will turn into an episode of Sibling Rivalry, where Bob will find ways to outshine Monet :/

[@_very]

RuPaul was not his typical robot interviewee self here.

[@glossandlove69]

veryffff he confronted his inner saboteur

[@t.m.6588]

Because he’s relaxed. He’s being interviewed by someone who knows the life and understands the world of drag. He’s not being pestered with the same “straight people” questions and asking him about the same shit. He’s in his element

[@emafisher1455]

l. estevan LMAOOOOO KSSKSK this comment made me laugh at loud. great reference lmao

[@Daedalus510]

Tyler M RIGHT!!! Let em know Ty.

[@Bryan-hi4nf]

no one: rupaul: Drag race is actually about the tenacity of the human spirit

[@famuns]

Go Monet! So proud of how Monet has her hand in so many things (drag, music, etc). Go queen! Living her best life!

[@justjo510]

Yes shes bringing iiit! i adore her 😸❤

[@pauloinocencio3176]

Mama Ru is proud of her child, this is sooo good!

[@jenellienostrabo]

That was a hell of a lot of fun! You got to interview Rupaul... Wow 😮 Keep it up Monet ❤️

[@alisky8551]

Even without him saying it, you can just tell how proud Ru is of Monét!

[@joefriedrich1516]

ive seen so many Ru interviews and this is the by far the best one. He seems so relaxes and fun here

[@Jumpoable]

Ru is really having fun with Monet here. Maybe it's cuz it's a favourite daughter interviewing her.

[@nicsanc9679]

Monet:Who’s that POKÉMON??!!!!! Me: IT’S PIKACHU! Monet: ....it’s Gia Gunn

[@chlover3608]

[@caressajolene]

I love this so much! It really shows RuPaul's personality, charm, and as a fun real person. X Change and Ru really compliment each other.

Amazing interview with Ru and such a fun interview with Anthony!! Hes such a sweetie! 💕

[@dixierae6063]

When I'm watching RuPaul as a guest on Monet's talk show I know that all is right with the world.

[@anthonywalton444]

Idk why the KZbin algorithm isn’t supporting and spreading the news but i stan!!!

[@alexjandroceron2658]

Anthony Walton it’s cuz she’s black 😪

[@WhiteArtistNamine14]

Monét is slowly but surely taking over the world

[@AidanClarkinRush]

That audible gasp from someone in the audience at 36:04 had me *cackling* 😭

[@MalibuDollface]

I loveeee this and Monet is amazing!!!! Great call build!

[@JordanSchell12]

When Anthony said "Lionel richie is from there" and you're like "Oh! Like Nicole Richie's dad?" that signaled that we are officially in a Millenial world. Happy to be here

[@upgradedu]

Rupaul mentioned Nelson - I liveeeeeee 👏🏻👏🏻💕💕 Good job Monet

10's across the board on that Gia cremation. 😂😂😂

plz get Anne Hathaway on the show that would be perfect

Not gonna lie, Monet killed it, her personality gives me life 🌈

[@yusususuf]

Monet is really killing it now..she's way more comfortable, still off the cuff hilarious & sooo stunning!

[@MichaelDavis-oy6zg]

Please bring this show back

[@unknown-ci3cx]

I AM LIVING FOR MONET’S SHOW!!! She’s doing so many things and she deserves all of her successes❤️❤️❤️

[@stefanmilovic835]

*_40 minutes of Monét X Change hosting a talk show? I am not worthy_*

[@flamingostabbingo1387]

i can listen to Rupaul nonstop.. such an amazing soul....humble...and good vibes ....

[@polinatalmeltzer450]

You had such a nice time with Ru!!! Love you both!! ❤

[@edwincordon3141]

I miss this show! Can we please bring it back?

[@XenaeGabbyUX]

This is the best thing Monét has ever done and I'm so proud of her! Ru is perfection, so glad you brought her already, so fun!! And my crush for Anthony Rapp just got way stronger than the Rent days, he's the cutest Condragulations, Monét, you deserve this and I can't wait to see The X Change Rate get bigger and bigger ❤️

[@Bblaze1021]

Monet your a genius. You need two money cannons!!! And that whole read at the end had me yelling! POS I TIVE! My new favorite TV show by my favorite black drag Queen 👑 😁❤️

[@longbeachinthehouse]

She read Gia from head to toe!

[@mcmeyer1785]

And back up, OMG (and also back down again)

[@caliden3785]

Monet came for Gia in a tweet after all stars saying "Let's not forget Peppermint was the first openly trans woman on drag race....not Gia"....Is it a competition in that respect? Why be that way instead of support all trans and everyone in this community? Gia has been the same since season 6.....cunty...go watch and see.....

[@chipfadawada]

Cali Den bitch please 🙄 You don’t follow the drag world THAT much then do you? Gia CLEARLY went on a talk show “Hey Kween” and dissed THE FUCK out of Monet. Gia was all over these people’s cameras on Allstars AND all over social media claiming to be the first openly trans woman on drag race, saying that she was blazing a trail and she is proud to be the first one and ladida Monet corrected her and said peppermint was the first openly trans woman. But tbh even peppermint wasn’t the first one. All Monet did was correct Gia cause she was taking claim for something that wasn’t even true and that’s a slick diss and shade to the trans women that came before her on drag race. All Monet did was humble her a little bit and remind her that she isn’t the only one NOR the first one. After that Gia dragged the FUCK out of monet on that other talk show and attacked her personally. So yeah honestly Gia deserves THOSE HANDS but Monet graciously just gave her some words.

[@mikmik3697]

Kristen Credille facts

[@starlitexo]

@@chipfadawada if we are taking about first open trans women, pep is the first because Gia didn’t mention being transgender until all stars 1. Also Carmen carrera became a trans woman shortly after her season but idk if she counts because she wasn’t open on the show yet

[@devinmarks8571]

We love Monet x Change 💕💕💕💕💕

[@matrixiekitty2127]

This show is so nice and chill compared to other talk shows and I live for it!

[@JamelSta]

Monét never ceases to amaze me with how great she is at everything.

[@MisterWhatWhat]

*PLEASE* bring this back!!!!

[@ghervhinne]

PLEASE PUT MONET AND THE XCHANGE RATE BACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@leamwinters702]

Ru doing Mariahs “on Yoooooutubbbbe” is my favourite part! LOVEEEEE HIM

A true full circle moment with her RuPaul interview. Monet is so amazing!!!!

[@markherma111]

I LOVE ANTHONY RAPP!!!!!!!!!! He is one of my favorite broadway stars!!!!!!!!

[@pedroheilel130]

Wow...Monet being the executive producer of her own show. I'm proud!

[@The_omar714]

This girl is 🔥🔥🔥. She has the skill to talk this show places!!! You go momma

[@badgyaltingz]

When I first saw Monet X Change I always knew she had a star quality about her and was going to do big things! So proud of my sexy melanin goddess! ❤️

[@notthefather3919]

Right! Which was shocking when she bombed on drag race.

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

She is intelligent, educated, professional and has a lot of charisma. Monet has got it all!

[@netajones2098]

I'm so happy for Monet, this is such a great opportunity for her and she's such a great interviewer. Loved Rupaul's segment, you could tell at first that Monet is like: "oh crap, I'm interviewing Mother! Oh God oh God! " lol she did so well though, and Rupaul was hilarious and insightful too. Love and adore you Monet, you truly are one of my top 5 queens and I'm so happy for you!

[@federicoluccichiarissi6289]

Defending Ru and the show finally paid off ! Loved the interview

[@RLHAWK]

Why aren't there more comments absolutely LIVING for Anthony Rapp's portion of the interview? I'm a HUGE rent ran and I didn't know that was the name.of the actor who played Mark and I GAGGGGGEEEEDD LIKE TALK ABOUT LEGEND AND ICOONNN.

Three shows in? Whaaaaat?!!! Hey I've got two to catch up on then.

[@rachelchawrun7089]

honestly just found this on utube love you Monet!!!

I love Ru’s message. Love yourself. Nurture a loving voice.

Congratulations Monet!!!!!!!!!! This was a good interview to watch. Felt like a genuine conversation kudos to Monet for her skills.

RuPaul a damn genius talking about winning these games using your psychic connection. I love it.

[@Br3eBrooks]

Ru is so supportive! Everybody say LOVE ❤️

I love seeing the girls pay their respect to Ru❤️

[@heyheyhey40]

Monet has a show here, I need to subscribe.

[@RW-yt7ro]

i LOVE RU , with my whole heart but honestly don't think i would care to see a talk show without him in full drag , that's why i loved his old talkshow cause everyday the outfits, the hair, the sas, the entrance walks it was a MOMENT

[@JC-yy8iv]

It seems to me that's the whole point. People watch Ellen for her personality. She looks nice but she always looks the same. RuPaul has always wanted to be seen for the person instead of just the lewks

[@user-lz8nn4ys8q]

Monet is killing it. You’ve acc grown so much in only 3 episodes it’s crazy

[@salifusadat3002]

Thought I was the only who noticed

[@isaiahdejohn7254]

Rip Gia damn 😭

[@paganpoet89]

Seeing Monet in this capacity is the evidence you need to know she deserved to win All Stars. She's great, in the scheme of things relatively inexperienced - this is great!

[@volcomwave]

I'm getting such TRL vibes and I am living!

[@TheReySkywalker]

I fully fell out of my chair when Monet ended Gia Gunn at the end of the show

I had to call the wambulance

Omg I love hearing Ru talk about Nelson and the tapes and all their club kid years. Those are amazing and iconic memories that I’m so glad we get to see

[@VivaciousNY]

Monet, you cannot go around scalping your own sisters like that. I just fainted twice in my living room. I mean,,, dayumm
