I really love how matter of fact Stephen was about drag, he isn't appalled or bewildered by drag like some talk show hosts and very earnestly said he felt beautiful in drag, I just love it
Yassss Mama! Ru was just talking about how drag would never be mainstream because he had never been invited on late night talkshows! This is a big deal!
I feel like I'm crazy… I could have sworn I saw Ru, in drag, on a late night talk show when I was a kid. Maybe even Letterman or Leno. Did that not actually happen?
Yes but in drag. In his recent nightline interview he said that they would only invite him if he was in drag and make him the joke. This was his first interview on late night as just Ru.
+amsterdamsel Hmm I hope your being sarcastic. If not you should lookup Kate Hudson and Katy Perry or Michael Douglas and Michael Keaton. It explains why some performers change their names .
Yes, people get that mistaken. Drag is something men (primarily gay men do) and as Rupaul said, "to get paid." They do not suffer from gender identity issues or undergo transitioning.
Anyone calling Stephen out for pandering needs to Google "Wigfield" right away. Because either that photo is (fictionally) legit, or he pandered to RuPaul thirteen years in advance. What a master!
Thank you! I read Wigfield in the '90s when it came out, but my ex-husband got custody of our copy. I was pretty obsessed with SWC at the time, and since Stephen co-wrote Wigfield with Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, I was all over that shit! I will always reserve a special place in my heart for Jerry Blank, Chuck Noblet and Geoffrey Jellineck. And now for Raven of Wigfield as well.
I noticed that in his many interviews.Same shoes but I wouldn't care less $$$$$$$ If your are comfortable yes ,anything goes...as long as im comfortable for life
i fucking love rupaul. i love how he isn't sensitive to whatever people call him in and out of drag. he's just living his life and does't have time to give a shit about names.
It's from a book he co-wrote in 2003. He, Paul Dinello (his current stage manager), and Amy Sedaris all wrote and appeared as different characters in each chapter.
I LOVE YOU RUPAUL!!!!!!! You are the most wonderfully humble and down to earth person. So lovely and graceful in everything you do. I am a fan for life. BIG HUGS!!!
He wasn't in drag because drag is a form of entertainment ... He wasn't getting paid to put on a performance he was getting paid to be interviewed ... He's all about that coin and drag is expensive and time consuming
humbled and flattered. :-) i was thinking of posting the line on every stephen colbert video in which jon batiste vocally disrupts stephen. it would become a running joke sort of. he he . but maybe the line would get annoying for other viewers.
I love rupaul because hes not trying to be anything man or woman he is just delightfully himself, and his aura is so addictive! love him!
Love your lipstick and look
I really love how matter of fact Stephen was about drag, he isn't appalled or bewildered by drag like some talk show hosts and very earnestly said he felt beautiful in drag, I just love it
They guy has seen a lot in his years in show business, he's probably desensitized.
1:50 "I am THE Drag Queen" lolol yassss 🙌🙌🙌
TRUTH
"Thank you for being here your majesty"
Every drag queen is THE Drag Queen!
No, other queens are fierce,but RuPaul is THE Drag Queen
She's just staying relevant off of other more talented drag queens that go on his show
Only RuPaul can wear a suit with sandals. What a fashion queen 👸🏻
Can't like a comment when its at 666 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
"i'm not just a drag queen. i am *THE* drag queen."
Drew Thomas she is.
She put in the work and then some.
What about Milton Berle?
Yassss Mama! Ru was just talking about how drag would never be mainstream because he had never been invited on late night talkshows! This is a big deal!
If she comes to one in drag it will be everywhere
You must have read that article too.
I feel like I'm crazy… I could have sworn I saw Ru, in drag, on a late night talk show when I was a kid. Maybe even Letterman or Leno. Did that not actually happen?
he was on the Arsenio Hall show many years ago
Yes but in drag. In his recent nightline interview he said that they would only invite him if he was in drag and make him the joke. This was his first interview on late night as just Ru.
*I've got one thing to say: You better work!*
WikeddTung ok... rephrase: you bettA wErk! ;)
if you cant love yourself how in the hell are you gonna love someone else. can i get an amen
Amen! lol
+James Levy AMENNN
+DearMakeUpDiary work!!! cover girl!!!
Ru's laugh is EVERYTHING
It's so warm
Love his laugh 😆
'I didnt come out, i was never in"
That was his point.
He, unlike many, never had the leverage to be in the closet. Everyone knew long before he himself decided to be open about it.
I would have never imagined Stephen would turn out so fishy. 😂
He panders.
Right. Serving premium swordfish on a platter.
LMAO
Very gorgeous
I'm not sure I even believe it's him tbh she's too pretty 😆
I'll never understand why people dislike a video before they get the chance to watch
i know...but just imagine if it had the word feminism in the title....the horror!
I'll never understand why people watch these at 3 in the morning
+Solorhurricane 695 it's 11h30 here
Considering how you have more upvotes than there are downvotes to this video. I would say that its a non issue here.
+12 there were a few dislikes 2 minutes after it was uploaded
If you can't love yourself, how the hell you gon love somebody else. Can I get an AMEN in here?
you can get a gaymen
Pixel Junkie aaameeen
AMEN
amen
AMEN
That nose is not pinched enough to be RAVEN!!!!
Well, He was born before Raven, and he was trying to be himself, not Raven. So. Stop comparing, it's rude.
settle the fuck down
LMAOOOOOO
Well. I don't remember being heated. I don't know why I can't speak my mind without it being read in a harsh tone. You settle. :P
Lmao.
I think the name Raven is already taken 😂😏
What name isn't tho
Stephen can be part of the house of Ravens?
+MegaSayitlikeitis The Aviary
Looking at the picture Stephen was probably Raven before the existence of the Raven we know.
There are many people with that name, because I knew a girl with that name.
just recently I saw him in an interview saying that he didn't think talk shows would ever be interested in having him and look at thissss I'm so happy
I actually remember him performing on Arsenio if that counts
Stephen's drag was honestly good. Didn't expect it!
"It made me feel beautiful." Awww! Your vulnerability and honesty are beautiful.
the name raven is already taken.
Yes someone get Raven on this on Fashion RuView
Yes, because there can only be one person named Raven. Evar.
+amsterdamsel Hmm I hope your being sarcastic. If not you should lookup Kate Hudson and Katy Perry or Michael Douglas and Michael Keaton. It explains why some performers change their names .
+amsterdamsel he's speaking of the drag queen Raven... Not the actual name itself
Brady Wood
okay.
I have wanted this for so long. Bring back Raven! Stephen Colbert for guest judge on RuPaul's drag race!
When you read comments and people think drag queens are trans women... Lmao...
Yes, people get that mistaken. Drag is something men (primarily gay men do) and as Rupaul said, "to get paid." They do not suffer from gender identity issues or undergo transitioning.
One of the best late night interviews I've EVER seen! 👏🏼
RuPaul is the best. So wise and amazing at conversation. This interview was brilliant. He's ALWAYS full of knowledge, history and stories. Love this.
Stephen is gorgeous as a man AND a woman.
Rupaul's laugh gets me every time I love ittt
RuPaul really is THE DRAG QUEEN. There isn't anyone that's come near taking that throne or being as fabulous as her!!
Ru clearly doesn't know what happens at a gynecologist lol
I know! I'm like "Wait? they do that?!"
Exactly! When Ru said "Did I say something wrong", I thought "Um . . yeah. Wrong, as in highly inaccurate."
It's slang, bro. Meaning getting things checked on and made sure they're healthy and clean.
I don't get it. What did they bleep? Ass?
I'm pretty sure he does. He's just having a good ol kiki. Haha
If you can't love yourself how in the HELL are you gonna love somebody else? Can I get a amen?
AMEN!
*Insert Alyssa tongue pop*
Sophie Doggett AMEN
Now let the music play! 😁
HALLELUJAH!
*covergirl blasts in the background*
"...is an actor, Drag Queen, model, author, and recording artist..." You forgot he's also the black Peewee Herman !
Lmao. Shade
+Julian Aguilar oh heeeeyy Julian!
Coco Montrese! :)
John Mavis hiiiieee
that read though XD
so I guess he is the... Drag Queen Queen.
Or, 'Queen Drag Queen'?
She is mother
MJ
how about 'Queen Mother Drag Queen'?
+amsterdamsel Rupaul, The Queen of the Drag Queens, Queen of Logo, Queen of World of Wonder, the breaker of closet doors, the first of her name.
MJ
Now, THAT is a Royal Moniker, for sure! Well done!
RuPaul is an icon.
he always dresses so cool
I like his personality
yess
your abs are an icon!
nickgreu4ever omg i know i see him everywhere too
Anyone calling Stephen out for pandering needs to Google "Wigfield" right away. Because either that photo is (fictionally) legit, or he pandered to RuPaul thirteen years in advance. What a master!
Thank you! I read Wigfield in the '90s when it came out, but my ex-husband got custody of our copy. I was pretty obsessed with SWC at the time, and since Stephen co-wrote Wigfield with Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, I was all over that shit!
I will always reserve a special place in my heart for Jerry Blank, Chuck Noblet and Geoffrey Jellineck. And now for Raven of Wigfield as well.
There was a stage show too.
i remember see Ru at a punk club in LA in the eighties.......The personality is what makes Ru exceptional.....we knew that Ru was a star...........
Stephen, to paraphrase Lil Poundcake, "you not the real raven and you never will be"
There was another queen named Raven, but she done already done had hers's so...
Gurl what shoes are Ru wearing lmao
Feeble attempt at shade.
I noticed that in his many interviews.Same shoes but I wouldn't care less $$$$$$$ If your are comfortable yes ,anything goes...as long as im comfortable for life
haaay raaay 😉
He always wears those ^.^
GUCCI...dear.
"THE DRAG QUEEN" is right😘
chocolate rain guy has changed since then
Oh Shit!
+demi I don't know how to react to your reaction I'm confused and laughing at the same time
demi why not ?
+demi look up chocolate rain of UA-cam... It's a song... And they guy who sung it kind of looks like Ru
+demi Sweetie it's a song, she's not identifying his skin colour as chocolate or anything
The Beyonce of fucking Drag MAW MAH!!!
HOLY STEPHEN LOOKS FANTASTIC
"I AM THE DRAG QUEEN."
You betta tell 'em, Mama Ru.
Thank you Stephen for having him!!!!
After learning about how rupaul feels about doing these shows I'm glad he was received so kindly and respectfully.
RuPaul is a living legend for the LGBT, and for me he is THE drag queen of the world.
wait holy shit is that really stephen? I am at a loss for words. stunning @A@
i just love Ru , he's just awesome
RuPaul has one of the best speaking voices I'be ever heard. Fresh, elegant and eloquent, I could be listening all day.
If Ru wasn't undressing Stephen with his eyes before, he sure was once he saw the photo.
Look at all that aahhssss. Yaaaaaahsssss!
I swear you think like me
Love Rupaul always positive and happy person.
I love RuPaul. Most fabulous holy being/deity in the entire universe and across multiverses. Gorgeous person inside and out.
i fucking love rupaul. i love how he isn't sensitive to whatever people call him in and out of drag. he's just living his life and does't have time to give a shit about names.
omg rupaul 😱 yay to Stephen! 😍👏
omg is that photo real? when did stephen do this? is there a tape and where can i get that tape?
I just want that gaff tape tbh.
It's from a book he did with Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello called "Wigfield."
+Instant Soap did you read it?
Damn, how does he pull off a mustard yellow plad suite with a blue collar shirt?
Because he's Ru fucking Paul!
because both colours really compliment his skin tone.
love him. love EVERYTHING about him. he loves us all & wants everyone to do well for themselves. such a beautiful person
Mamma Ru ❤️
Btw, nice ass Stephen
Was Stephen's drag photo real? I can't help seeing that's Photoshopped, but everyone acts if it's real, so...
The ass is real, the rest is photoshop.
Is anything real on tv?
It's from a book he co-wrote in 2003. He, Paul Dinello (his current stage manager), and Amy Sedaris all wrote and appeared as different characters in each chapter.
Is anything real?
reality
God bless that Ru he is a legend and a inspiration
I love how much confidence this man has ♥️😭🔥
HE'S GOT SO MUCH SASS IT'S GREAT
i LIVE for rupauls laugh like i could be passed out on the floor for three hours & his laugh could bring me back to life
he is a gem
Ru's highlight is a beacon of hope for all of us.
" I am THE drag queen" FUCK RU MY EGDES ARE FUCKING GONE
Love RuPaul and yes RuPaul is THE DRAG QUEEN. 👍❤️
I LOVE YOU RUPAUL!!!!!!! You are the most wonderfully humble and down to earth person. So lovely and graceful in everything you do. I am a fan for life. BIG HUGS!!!
omg rupaul finally mainstream
Steven, I am so appreciative of you; you are a compassionate man and so loving... Keep it up! No pun intended.
YAAASSS MOMMA RU!! SLAYYY

Criiinge! .... I can't believe he treated Ru like he was a begginer. She is legendary honey!!!
I can listen to Rupaul laugh the WHOLE DAY!!!!!!!!!
I love RuPaul. He is so upbeat and positive. I feel happier just listening to him speak.
Gem of an interview. Happy Pride weekend everyone!
PLEASE upload the entire interview pls, we love her
Rupaul's laugh is everything!!!
Yaaaaaaaas Colbert serving up fresh snapper!
has raven seen this?
Band always plays the right music. Makes the guest at ease right away.
He wasn't in drag because drag is a form of entertainment ... He wasn't getting paid to put on a performance he was getting paid to be interviewed ... He's all about that coin and drag is expensive and time consuming
I just love listening to him ❤❤❤
Salome : Bring me the head of Jon Batiste
LMAO It took me a second, but when it hit me what u said I laughed my ass off!!! GOOD ONE!!! It was actually SO bad it was GOOD LMAO
lol. yeah I snuck in a convoluted pun. it was more 'wry/clever' than funny i guess. he he
humbled and flattered. :-) i was thinking of posting the line on every stephen colbert video in which jon batiste vocally disrupts stephen. it would become a running joke sort of. he he . but maybe the line would get annoying for other viewers.
Yes, RuPaul you're the ultimate drag queen! This great personality is so rare to find in today's showbiz. He's just iconic!
damn Stephen is looks amazing. holy crap.
I love him!!!! He is such a beautiful person!
Did you forget you were coming to the show today dressed like that?! YA LOOK LIKE A ROLL OF SCOTCH TAPE!
TheReal BoneQuiQui The shade of it all. 😂
what a pair! i love Ru so much, so good to see him on a talk show.
damn, Colbert's got back!
That was amazing, two intelligent men, both on the same level talking. MORE MORE MORE.
YAS MAMA RU! GET THAT NATIONAL LATE SHOW GIG TO TEACH THE CHILDREN WHATS THE TEA ON DRAG!!!
RuPaul is a delightful person.
Rupaul is everything! THE drag queen for sure! Tell em ru, the supermodel of the world

Rupaul:You can call me anything
Stephen:Can I call you Jiggly
Both are beautiful souls
Great. Now I've got the hots for Stephen AND his alter ego.
Haha I Love this. Stephen was as awesome as Ru, and you can tell Ru has a crush. Fantastic deeper conversation :)
I love RuPaul as well as I love Stephen

I didn't even know rupaul was a man wtf

He has his own TV show called RuPaul's DRAG Race and he's known as the #1 Drag Supermodel of the world
I think that's the biggest compliment he could get. :)

Omg for real? That is too cute lol 😊
I love ru but WHAT ARE THOSE!!??
That picture of Stephen is in the book wigfield he did with Amy Sedaris and Paul danello
You betta say that rupaul !!!! "I am THEEE Drag queen"
