RuPaul’s Nominated For An Emmy

Many of my older readers never thought they’d see a drag queen with a TV show – with the exception of Milton Berle and Benny Hill.  A more recent generation thought they’d seen it all when RuPaul got a show – in fact, most of the Logo network centers around RuPaul.  How do you top that?  By making history with an Emmy nomination as Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.  Not only did Ru get a nomination – she was nominated alongside Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night), Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), Ryan Seacrest (American Idol), Steve Harvey (Little Big Shots), and Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum (Project Runway) – officially making it the gayest category in Emmy history.  RuPaul, who once notably said “I’d rather have an enema than have an Emmy“, is likely a long shot.  But it’s an honor just to be nominated.  “I dedicate this Emmy nomination to outsiders everywhere.  Brave souls who stick to their dreams and make the world a more colorful place.”  I think she just said the Emmy should go to Tim Gunn!
