‘We need to be gayer than ever before': ‘RuPaul's Drag Race' queens and producers get political at FYC pool party

Since Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race was dubbed the "splashiest season in herstory," it only made sense for its 2025 Emmys campaign event to be a pool party. The top six queens — winner Onya Nurve, runner-up Jewels Sparkles, Sam Star, Lexi Love, Suzie Toot, and Lana Ja'Rae — reunited on Friday for a panel discussion and meet-and-greet with Television Academy members. They were joined by executive producer Randy Barbato, co-executive producer and resident judge Michelle Visage, and choreographer and guest judge Jamal Sims. Actress and Drag Race superfan Leslie Jones moderated the Q&A at the Skybar pool at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood.

We need to be gayer than ever before." The queens also talked about why the art of drag is so important right now, especially with all of the attacks on free expression from people in power. Gonzalo Marroquin / Getty Images for MTV The contestants shared how their own life experiences helped them in the competition and pushed them to succeed, and why RuPaul's Drag Race is so vital for the queer community and for the younger generation. Thanks in part to the show, the ACLU Drag Defense Fund has raised over $2.1 million to help bring attention to, and fight against, anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ attacks. Visage reflected on her time in the Badonka Dunk Tank, and explained how the twist was originally inspired by a Lucille Ball gag. Unfortunately, because of the way the tank was designed, there was no way for her not to go "ass first" into the water — her only request was that it be "warm." Various producers and crew members also took the plunge, and a fun clip package was shown to the crowd. During the reception, members of the Pit Crew, including Bryce and Bruno, mingled with attendees and posed on the lifeguard stand by the pool. Inspiring quotes from Mama Ru were displayed around the space, and guests snapped pics at the Drag Race "Confessional" photo booth. Specialty cocktails included the Badonka Dunk and the Ru-Rita, and food was available at a make-your-own taco stand. Gonzalo Marroquin / Getty Images for MTV Each of the queens shared their takeaways from the season. Onya: 'Getting on RuPaul's Drag Race was a dream of mine. Getting on this show is a testament to betting on yourself. I hope winning this show is a beacon of hope for everyone who looks like me." Jewels: The greatest gift I've ever been given is getting to do the show with my dad [in the makeover episode]. When I got home, my mother showed me clips of him practicing in his heels. It takes a secure man to support their child. If my father can cross dress on national television, the minimum people can do is accept their child." Sam: "Coming from the middle of nowhere, I always wanted to be somewhere. Tears of joy can be just as powerful as tears of sadness." Suzie: "Only 14 queens get chosen out of thousands of applicants. It is the reality competition show of all reality competition shows. There are a lot of theater kids who watch the show and see themselves in me. I wear the women who have inspired me on my sleeve." Lana: "I pull my looks from things that make me happy. The best gift in the world is to make someone smile. My drag is everything people told me I couldn't be." Lexi: "My vulnerability has allowed me to accept life. The show has unlocked everything." Barbato: "The show is a drag queen. All the producers are like drag queens. We go into our closet to create." Visage: "This competition is different from any of the others on television, because our queens are different from any other star on television. They live for the art of drag." Sims: "I'm always nervous, but what I look for is confidence in a queen. Can I give them the information they need to succeed? I always ask: what do you need from me?" All episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race are streaming now on Paramount+.

Sarah Snook wins Tony for Best Actress in a play for ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray' — two years after ‘Succession'

It's another success(ion) for Sarah Snook. The actress, 37, took home the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Play at the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday, June 8. Snook took on all 26 roles in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray,' the 1890 philosophical fiction and Gothic horror by Oscar Wilde.

WireImage Snook originally won the Olivier Award for best actress in 2024 for her performance in the one-woman production in the West End. During her acceptance speech in April of the year, the 'Succession' star got candid about her mindset surrounding the play. Advertisement Snook recalled that a month before opening, she 'felt distant from the play and hadn't learned my lines. I just felt, 'What am I doing? Why am I doing a 60,000 word monologue with an eight-month-old baby?' I felt so stupid.' 'So I was doing a lot of night breastfeeding,' she continued. 'And in the evening when I would wake up then rather than being on my phone and feeding her, I would run over the lines. I find that if you learn your lines at night and then sleep on them they do go in more effectively.' 7 Sarah Snook took on all 26 roles in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.'

Marc Brenner While onstage, the Broadway star, who welcomed her daughter in May 2023 with husband Dave Lawson, even teased that her child's first words would be from the script. Snook, meanwhile, is no stranger to accolades as she took home an Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama in January 2024 for her role as Shiv Roy in 'Succession.' The hit HBO show ran for four seasons, from 2018 to 2023, with the Australian actress opening up about how she found out the series was ending in August 2023.

Getty Images 'I was quickly devouring it in the car on the way there,' Snook told Variety at the time. 'And then by the time I finished, I arrived and was like, 'That's it. It's done.'' Just because 'Succession' is over, that doesn't mean Snook hasn't stayed tight with her former cast members. Kieran Culkin, 42, who is also starring in the Broadway show 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' did a drive-by in March on the way to his show. The actor was seen hanging of his car window and blowing a kiss to Snook and their 'Succession' co-stars, who were outside taking photos ahead of her opening night. He couldn't be there due to his Broadway commitment. 7 The Post's theater critic said Sarah Snook was 'hilarious and haunting as, well, everybody.' Bruce Glikas/WireImage Advertisement The Post's theater critic Johnny Oleksinski said the show was 'discombobulating. It's fantastical. And, in the end, it's crushing.' Of Snook, he said the actress 'brings that same infectious grin' from 'Succession' to Broadway, calling her 'hilarious and haunting as, well, everybody.'
