RuPaul's Drag Race is an American
reality competition television series produced by
World of Wonder for
Logo TV. The show documents
RuPaul in his search for "America's next
drag superstar." RuPaul plays the roles of host, mentor, and source of inspiration for this series, as contestants are given different challenges each week.
RuPaul's Drag Race employs a panel of judges, including RuPaul,
Michelle Visage and a host of other guest judges, who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. The title of the show is a play on
drag queen and
drag racing, and the title sequence and song "Drag Race" both have a drag-racing theme.
