Justin Trudeau stops by the “workshop” on an upcoming spin-off of “Canada’s Drag Race.”
Producers of the drag queen competition series say the prime minister will make a special appearance on “Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World.”
He is the first global leader to attend the competition series founded by RuPaul, which includes more than a dozen global spin-offs in countries such as Sweden, Australia, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
A picture from the set showed Trudeau alongside Toronto drag queen and host Brooke Lynn Hytes in a segment where contestants receive words of inspiration before the episode’s main challenge.
“Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World” expands beyond the Canadian boundaries of the regular series and invites nine international drag queens to compete for the crown while Canada serves as the host country.
Episodes will begin airing on Crave on November 18th.
“Drag Race” also announced guest judges for this season, including TV personality Jeanne Beker, “Canada’s Drag Race” winner Priyanka and Juno winner Anjulie.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 8, 2022.
Crave and CP24 are divisions of Bell Media.
