Rupaul on The Wendy Williams Show 02/04/2010

[@iAmAlexRafael]

Wendy was on her best behavior, she knew RuPaul could READ her! lol

[@tfh5575]

😭😭

[@MyFavourites1]

😂😂😂

[@Matthew-vp9rh]

Lmao, yes!

[@lotusbloom_inGrace]

Yup. Well said and That, "How you doin?" Was her graceful warning 😂

[@Steve-y8n]

For filth hunty! 😂

[@JustinLHopkins]

RuPaul is definitely an icon. I remember when I first saw him on MTV in the 90's and was in awe. As a gay boy it was a watershed moment, when I realized that it was ok to be gay. I would see him on stage and see the fans that were tolerant and accepting, and I knew no matter what, there is always a place for everyone in this world. Despite what homophobes say.

[@scoob215]

Justin Hopkins i felt the same way the first time i saw David Bowie in the early seventies (although he only technically described himself as bisexual). i remember thinking at the time "i'm not the only one who's different" and as for Ru Paul i think he's an amazing gay, drag or trans role model

[@anyal1987]

+Justin Hopkins I just think it's so sad that there's ever been a moment in any gay boy or lesbian girl's life where they thought it was wrong to be who they are. :( I am so happy for you and everyone else like you that RuPaul and other gay & lesbian icons exist and there are people out there that are fighting the good fight, to make it known that it's okay and perfectly normal and should never be a problem for anyone to live their lives and be [and stay] true to who they are.

[@JustinLHopkins]

Ashley Nihil Thanks for your support and kind words. If only the world was like you. The LGBT community in the U.S. Has suffered , but I think of the people in the Middle East who are routinely beaten and executed. That truly breaks my heart.

[@Boobalopbop]

Beautifully said.. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@JustinLHopkins]

Boobalopbop Thanks :)

[@alyssaallen8911]

Wendy: I love you RuPaul: Ye lol

[@w.lester255]

This is the mvp comment 🤣

[@SgtxAnus]

i mean she is the biggest bitch in all the seven seas

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

He's like... I ain't co-signing on that b.s.!! 😮🎉

[@JustNess78]

Ru just makes me smile. He is an amazing person and has lived quite the life.... I could listen to his stories and tales all day long! :)

[@diavolo79]

Totally agree

[@egutierrez0725]

Yessss it’s like he can come to my house and sit there like a little boy and just watch him talk and talk for hours and not get bored

[@i3lului311]

fracking king omfg

[@sarahtaylor7737]

Ru Paul is a true artist. His talent for keeping relevant is outstanding.

[@ragemodels]

So Beautifully put !!! Awesome comment 🙏🔆🙏

[@thebrutalkremlin]

LOVE it..."you have long feet and a moustache" //// "Right let's talk about my BOOK"

[@augustedelacroix3910]

Wow… Wendy really didn't have anything real or substantial to say. It seemed like she was almost a bit star studded talking to Ru.

[@diavolo79]

I agree, she stumbled over her words a few times Lol she seemed almost intimidated

[@275MsParis]

Omg Wendy's dress code has come a long way. My god she looked a hot mess in 2010. Love Ru, He's always looking Fab

[@MrDJG666]

Hearing Ru's clever, witty, right to the point answers without bull makes me realize, once more, why he's in this business for so long! Love...

[@mrslave3560]

Rupaul is the God of drag hunty

[@onY0urmark]

I cannot believe this was only six years ago. Season 2 felt like so long ago.

[@jaxel5767]

Now ur comment is 8 years old! And the interview 14!

[@SheenCheld]

Hello from 2024

[@PerfectAngel316]

So many people could learn a thing or two from the poise, elegance, class, and talent of RuPaul. Respect.

[@NickPowersMusic]

Which one is ru paul?

[@deefalcon3168]

Dam...lol

[@nicksum29]

The one with more brains than you.

[@sbrant70]

LOL! It is quite a juxtaposition of a fem man and butch woman dressed in their gender specific clothes.

[@miguelcarrasco4442]

***** the pretty one. the pretty one with the cheek bones is rupaul

[@millsykooksy4863]

***** lol

[@friedaclaxton5950]

RuBamas! That was amazing. RuPaul is so beautiful.

[@galfawks3597]

Freida Claxton Another fellow golden girls fan :)

[@rxntay]

well my theory that Wendy is actually RuPaul has just been proven wrong =[

[@suzanne-abigailclaxton904]

+Neraf Esined That's an insult to RuPaul. She's way more fish that Wendy! LOL

[@user-ob4sh3iq9b]

+Suzanne-Abigail Claxton I agree!! ru is super fish lol

[@ladymcbox780]

I thought she was Tyler Perry.

[@tasteoflethabo7543]

+Lady McBox lol

[@boipelop6522]

+Lady McBox 😎😎😎

[@Greedykitty1969]

I am beyond myself with total respect and respect for both Wendy Williams & RuPaul. Strong, confident, beautiful, successful, straight up intelligent powerful positive role models for women everywhere

[@pamelalue1248]

I

[@lisacartwheel3693]

5:37 has me confused. I thought (s)he's been with the same man for like 19 years?

[@Gaish]

maybe they took a break? idk lol i'm confused too

[@ninarae3368]

They're in an open relationship

[@suzieqorange]

I can not get enough of RuPaul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rolandviado]

now i truly understand what Ru means by him not being taken seriously by mainstream media. LGBT icons and personas are pigeonholed as a figments of society not fully understood like their hetero counterparts. i know he's on wendy so it's kiki time but i'm getting tired of this shallow talk

[@littlebluefry3706]

VRRV Wendy would ask the same questions to anyone, not just Ru

[@darlinkula1]

In Rupaul's book,"Lettin' It All Hang Out" he wrote that when he lived in L.A. with his sister he was unemployed and hung around the Beverly Center all day to pass the time because he was depressed and suicidal, he has earned every bot of his success and he's a living legend. Wendy Williams being gay friendly on daytime tv shows that the times have changed. The ultimate revenge on homophobes is that their tv's show gays on a daily and their taxes pay salaries of gay soldiers. THANK YOU CCGIRLNYC

[@peterfrontera5079]

“the asian one, tyra and the heavyset black woman” LMAO imagine if she said that today

[@kingofthetrill3586]

lmao she’s so rude

[@poeticjournalism]

Such a charismatic drag queen. Rupaul's great, too.

[@suigeneris7147]

In my personal opinion the awesomeness about RuPaul is having seduced media's attention in such a positive way at a harder time in terms of toleration of transgenderism (can I say that?) to make almost everyone seeing it not only as a way of living your life but also as an artistic expression which is neither a harmful nor an offensive reality. Hands up for that.

[@noreexic]

He's not a transgender though, he became famous as a drag queen

[@gtavi23]

Ru didnt want to talk about his relationship 😂

[@jeffreyskinner7167]

A LEGEND WITH A HEART OF GOLD .

[@sanjeeshinea]

RuPaul is 1,000 times classier than Wendy.

[@niasimone1740]

Rupaul looks more like a women than Wendy 😂

[@thesunmountain]

+Nia Nailor Need glasses ??

[@niasimone1740]

+linus karlshammar If you were smart idiot. When rupaul transform into a woman she looks better than Wendy Williams

[@thesunmountain]

+Nia Nailor Wendy looks like a woman, Ru paul looks like a drag. If you think that is feminin i'll rest my case

[@niasimone1740]

+linus karlshammar ok 😒

[@thesunmountain]

+Tess Bedard Believe me dear I know, as I am a transgender and have loads of androgynous friends. From girly looking straight men to butch women that looks more masculine than me :-) Not saying that Wendy is a petite barbie doll, but I still think that she looks more like a woman than Rupaul. Thanks for the explanation though. It was very well formulated and you seem enlightened..

[@jasonqueue6300]

My nosiness gets the best of me. He says in this interview he's not currently in love, "looking for that, open to it"... but in 2013 he said in an OWN interview he's been with his partner George for 19 years. Guess they were on a break?

[@masonbeggs3108]

+jasonqueue I was wondering the same thing.

[@jasonqueue6300]

+Flenif2247 Sure, I'm aware of open relationships, plus I've heard Ru talk about his open relationship in other interviews. I'm saying this sounds specifically like he's not in a relationship: "I'm not in the romantic sense." In other interviews he gushes over George and the love they share (and thus their ability to not impose boundaries on each other). Like I said, just being nosy/gossipy, not unaware of progressive sexual politics.

[@daveheel]

glad i'm not the only one who picked up on that. odd that he didn't bring up george. maybe they broke up for a while. in the bethany interview, he said they only see each other about once every 2 months and they don't live together. interesting how they make it work for 19 years even with the open relationship.

[@RaymondHng]

RuPaul's married now.

[@TheClosetRatchet]

Drag Race and The Wendy Williams Show have come suuuuuch a long way 😩😩 They are pioneers whether or not everyone wants to see it that way. Their careers are over 25 years long. Talk about longevity!

[@Tiripsroirraw]

I know that's right

[@qarahiyo]

RuPaul & Wendell

[@JTThomas82]

Wendy reminds me of Rupaul*

[@jordansthoughts54]

Love this ❤️ iconic

[@DillonHarwood]

RuPaul and Wendy are FABULOUS!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

[@rair_stories]

I think Ru was way too gracious and I think Wendy was feeling uncomfortable

[@Debthouse]

Ru is an incredible guest. The host hardly has to do any work. Any general prompt question or topic and he can do a monologue off the cuff - and it will be funny, insightful, or both.

[@hugznotdrugs2]

Wendy for season 9 of RDR💁💁💁

[@jessebeeson29]

would like to point, fuck no, I don't want a transphobe anywhere near my favourite show.

[@galliano100]

She’s a guest judge for RPDR All Stars.

[@Menhiria]

I love RuPaul, I love this interview, I'm always happy to find out more personal and general details about a celebrity that I really respect and I'm a fan of :-)

[@brodypereira970]

Rupaul does not age simply stunning and kind hearted. Legs for days hunny. I used to hate being tall then I realized it made me unique love you Ru.

[@debbiecakes214]

I was wonder if anybody had ever seen these two in the same room at the same time. Dang ,they really are two different people.

[@giggles7179]

If I ever saw RuPaul and Monica Lewinsky having breakfast in some random restaurant, I'd think that tab of acid I took in the mid-1990's was coming back to haunt me. Good God!

[@_CaliGirl]

So yearrrrs ago, early 2000s...one of my friends worked at MTV... she said she knew Rupaul and he was having some little get together at his house... We went to RUPAUL's HOUSE :) :) :) I was expecting him in complete drag as I'd always seen him but he opened the door looking like how he looks on Wendy's show. I'd never seen him not in drag. His house was in the Hollywood Hills... It was nice, pics of celebs all around his home...I remember the pic of him and the Cat Lady...she looked horrible, he, per usual, was GlamMother Honey... LOL... the house was somewhat small... wasn't really large like you'd expect... He was very nice and it was awesome being there and meeting him.

[@mariaager1924]

Lucky you! I’d be honored to meet him!

[@lancecolbear1281]

Sisters? I always get these two confused, glad she put her on the show to see the difference. I think that's why RuPaul came as a man so they wont look to much alike.

[@atltallone907]

Um no....Ru only gets in drag to work....

[@deefalcon3168]

Lmao...u aint ryte!

[@sapphireemerald5636]

Wendy looks very different now... sigh. she looked more "real" here

[@wickedsign]

Wendy sure wants to be a contestant on the Rupaul's drag race :D

[@ingridclarke5975]

o(k(

[@m1k3ywestley51]

Rupaul has been with Georges LeBar since 1994 married in 2017 Him saying he's not romantically involved was confusing. 🤷

[@FancyAlly]

He should def go on the show again!! :)

[@cllifted2246]

What season was wendy on? And did she win the title of Americas next drag superstar?

[@Bujinas]

I love how Ru keeps bringing the conversation back to that damn book. Wendy was like ummmmmmmm ok yeah we know you have a book out FOOL!

[@demetriaAldrin09]

i love his show so much.

[@heyLORDitsme]

RuPaul is always so professional. Wendy is there to gossip and ru is there to work!

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

No (s)he is there to Werrrrrk!! 😉

[@rogeliomxr8659]

Watching this on 2019 ❤️ icon

[@chitchatnation]

I saw him at Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago here in L.A.!

[@NoirEtoile1]

I once made a cassette tape of songs for Ru -- A Dionne Warwick Album he couldn't find that I had. I also introduced him to Aretha Sings the Blues --- we went to dinner with the late Sami McKinney to Geoffreys on PCH in Malibu!!! Very gracious..happy you're doing so well, Ru --!!!

[@1GovernmentHooker]

Wendy and Ru, twoof my faorite Goddess Queens :D

[@littledragongirl10]

[@inkymattboy]

[@cesarbtsantos]

Does anyone knows which song is playing when the video starts? I'm kinda loving this song but I can't understand very much about it.

[@devitrasuga7601]

Birds of a feather. Gives new meaning to the term "Man to man conversation.

[@ninaknox1993]

+sami Polanski just damn... I would love to v see her on drag race too

[@hjscollages]

@Deuce2you which show were you watching drag academy or rupaul's drag race? because rupaul's drag race is really good but drag academy was such a dud!

[@andreylourens5870]

[@Hoopermazing]

When he first walked out, I thought it was Ralphael Saadiq.

[@inkpen9547]

People just release books just to make money. There's no real substance to that book. Whoever would buy that must be a really big fan.

[@sunluv6115]

I loveeeee ru 😍😍😍❤️

[@johnosahon]

this is hilarious, when i was younger i used to think Ru and Wendy where the same person. to see them together is something elese

[@YVONNESHELTON]

[@tiffylovelove288]

Ru is FOREVER LOVED❤️❤️

[@Mr000468]

i love them both How U doing?

[@RUBYMUNRO]

Ru, you are a credit to us all, brilliant xxx

[@MissStinaBina]

Also keep in mind... For years, our culture has tried to minimize or even deny the existence of gender and the power it exerts on so many facets of life; I believe gender was one of God's creative ways of expressing diversity within unity.

[@suginami123]

such charisma. wow

[@ohcraponacracker]

What happened to George in this interview ??

[@pooh40]

God BLESS YOU

[@adriannippy]

RuPaul is such an icon.

[@djb1317]

I wish Ru did interviews in drag

[@Hyena_Heckler]
