The Joke Is on 'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9's Gottmik

The Big Picture There are so many types of drag out there. And some queens have their own niche. Not every drag queen is a queen of comedy. So it's hard to always live up to those expectations when they step out of their comfort zone and find a comedic niche. Such is the case with Gottmik. The reality star has made history for being the first transgender man to compete on the RuPaul's Drag Race.

Release Date October 22, 2012 Cast RuPaul , Michelle Visage , Todrick Hall , Carson Kressley , Ts Madison , Ross Mathews , Santino Rice Main Genre Reality Seasons 9 Network MTV Streaming Service Paramount+ Franchise RuPaul's Drag Race Showrunner RuPaul , Mandy Salangsang Expand Gottmik Delivers an Eerily Similar Comedy Set As tradition on Drag Race, whether the main show or the All Stars spin-off, there is always some sort of roast or stand-up comedy challenge.

What Mik did was not only admit she copied and pasted Nikki Glaser's jokes into her set, she also threw all the other queens under the bus for allegedly not writing their own jokes. Hey Mik! Show us the receipts! Drag Race is a pressure cooker. It's one of the hardest reality television competition shows on the planet. Sometimes the queens might have the desire to cheat off their tablemates like they're back in high school. But drag is a celebration of queer art.

Comedy Is Hard! This recent fiasco illuminates how RuPaul's Drag Race is treading a fine line. There has been a long history on RuPaul's Drag Race where some queens have bombed the comedy challenge. So much so that the jokes were either so mean, crude, or personally offensive, they made the audience cringe. Often times, those contestants have found themselves directly at risk of elimination.
