‘Drag Race’ Producer Explains How They Got Liza Minnelli to Join the Season 17 Finale: ‘I Bow to the Drag Gods’


"RuPaul's Drag Race" producer explains how they got Liza Minnelli for the season 17 finale.

Minnelli, who is having a moment with her PBS documentary “Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story” and gracing the cover of New York Magazine, said yes. “Her management were also big fans of ‘Drag Race,’ and they know what we’ve done, and they know the heart of the show, and they’re invested as viewers.” Several conversations followed and Campbell says it came together with ease.
