The bag look will always be iconic no matter how terrible it is. We all enjoyed the Lala ri experience.

[@Lorgy2]

I literally can't remember any other look from that season. It did end up being iconic

[@AdzaanMaiiTso]

yes, it brought so many laughs. not in a bad way, it was just so silly and memorable. 😆

[@Eprosis]

You can tell that Maddy has a really high opinion of Lala Ri and honestly, who can blame him. Lala Ri is so genuine and charming, he's such a warm presence.

[@londonripton2037]

Honestly, some of the best chemistry I've seen between Maddy and a guest! LaLa just has such a wonderful, kind energy to him!

Surfshark is the only VPN name I remember because I associate the little fins flip flapping ❤

I was thinking exactly that. Really resonating growth and happiness. I'm feeling a way about it. Lol 💙😩😆🙏

[@Nano_IV]

Maddy: I don't have any plans to like quit drag... Lala: You should. LMFAO LALA

[@CheshireCesare]

Maddie is so quick with the snark, so I like when guests volley it back. I think it makes it more fun for both 😂

[@Yasu_2]

MADDY YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BEST INTERVIEWER RIGHT NOW I SWEAR

[@snakey319]

between Katya and Matty, the interview is perfected.

[@tarheelttj]

Half the cast storming off set that day makes Ru's reaction make a lot more sense 😂

[@SavioByrczak]

RIIIIIIGHT!? it's honestly soooo funny to me 😂

[@CarysCreatesThings]

TL/DR: La La is one of the loveliest queens I've ever met and I'm excited to see what he does next. He and Naomi Smalls were so kind to me after I experienced ableist bullying at a show and ended up moving to the side of the stage where they both spotted me. Then Jimbo squirted me in the face with her whipped cream boobs. I’ve met a lot of queens, and La La is one of the nicest I’ve ever met. He was doing a show with Jimbo and Naomi Smalls, and it was an outdoor venue with standing room only. I’m disabled and walk with a cane, and there was an older woman with us who has limited mobility, so our friends saved us a spot at the front so we could lean over the barrier. During La La’s first set, he came up to me and air-kissed me on both cheeks. During the interval, a woman and her daughter took our places at the front when we went to the bathroom, and they refused to move and were really rude to us, even though we were both visibly disabled. We ended up at the side of the stage so we could lean against the barrier there. Naomi Smalls (one of the other loveliest queens I've met) spotted us, and came over to talk to us and pose for photos, and we watched La La's second set together. Then when La La came off stage, he joined us and we all watched Jimbo's set together. La La also took photos with us and said he loved me and that I was a beautiful person and made me cry. Then when Jimbo finished her set, she walked over to me and sprayed me in the mouth with her whipped cream boobs 😂 All three queens made my night. i wish La La all the best and I can't wait to see what he does next.

[@殺人光線]

This is so magical, I'm happy you got to have such a amazing experience with such lovely queens ❤️

[@twodots9403]

Ah I love you had such a great experience with all three!!! So pleased to hear they’re lovely in real life ♥️

[@aKnightoff89]

I was just about to comment that!! Love it 😂

[@tovaleh2626]

I never stop being impressed by maddy's journalistic integrity and pap sensibilities. She finds things out that shock the queens every time and its wonderful! Thats journalism! Haha

[@judithann7193]

It will be funny, interesting questions. Well researched, charming, obscure. But never snarky. Never nasty. I love her!

[@tarahendrix2820]

I know!! Maddy was never one of my favorites until I started watching her channel. So good at what she does

[@ceostudio]

His experience in China is so interesting 😂 I love these random side quests in people’s lives like that

[@risetwotwo9654]

LaLa is absolutely one of the sweetest baby angels of LIFE. Someone you don't have to "know" to know is a good person. Wigs or not, I'll always be a supporter! ❤❤❤

[@B.Black_Val]

Honestly the chemistry between these two is so good. Like the banter is chill, but quick witted and natural from both sides.

[@LoddyDah]

Maddy's guests are always a treat but the comfy funny sassy real chemistry between these two is giving me what i need at this time right now. I hope LaLa and Maddy become best friends forever.😩😆💙🙌🙏

[@megandelamar6194]

I'm only 30 minutes in but I can't tell if they knew each other before this interview. It would be crazy if not because their friendship seems so genuine lol

[@richardchen7062]

They’ve met before; they’ve done a joint meet and greet with fans

[@ZoeBarber]

Some people just put you at ease too, maybe Lala is one of those people. They definitely enjoy each others company.

[@jacobstewart4013]

This has been one of the funniest interviews of this series! Cackling from start to finish ! The chemistry between these two was so genuine!

[@Jloveatpw0123]

I personally gave Lala Ri a gift when they came to West Virginia. And then met her in LA for drag Con and I can personally confirm that they are the most genuinely kind and authentic person. The lala ri experience was absolutely amazing in real life and they genuinely are the kind of performer to put on a show and just draw eyes and the kind of performer who you can see they are in their head saying "I know I'm killing it" with a wink and all. Lala was very humble and full of smiles in real life. They genuinely just have that it factor that can make anyone smile. I happy to see them and Matty just giggle and troll one another. Great job Matty this was such a joy to watch. ❤

[@knoxx1130]

That moment of pure fear coming out of La La Ri when Maddy said “you were on the cymbal line”. 😂

[@venusonearth2189]

Him getting up out the seat😭😭😭😭 the comedic timing is always right. Hope to keep seeing him on tv somehow some way😌

[@tarahendrix2820]

I still don't get how Maddie has this crazy way to just come back with the best lines. I wish I was that quick. You Can Tell She's a lot of respect for Lala and this was one of the videos that I had to watch till the end

[@iamtaylorreign]

The note cards being made onto the bags is top tier attention to detail

[@QFredfons]

This is very similar to what Baby (RPDR UK 3) said after leaving the show. Drag is very broad, but there are also types of spectacle where the performers don't want to use the moniker "drag" because it can be in some cases too restrictive, in terms of expectations.

[@MorningStarScorpio]

I loved this! I loved that Lala turned the tables on Maddy and was throwing shade at her!

[@treehann]

Lala revealing that more queens walk out of drag race than we can already see publicly is fascinating to me
