‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ EP Tom Campbell On Keeping The Series Fresh & Creating A Safe Platform For Queer Performers


Executive producer Tom Campbell on keeping the series fresh every season & creating a safe platform for queer performers on 'RuPaul's Drag Race'.

“Every award we get, or anytime we get to talk about the show,” says Campbell, “I just think it reinforces that hopefully there’ll be one more year of RuPaul’s Drag Race and telling those important queer stories that rarely, if ever, get told.” CAMPBELL: At this point, we have a really beautiful nuclear family, and Leland and Freddy Scott are part of that, and Jamal first met RuPaul when he was a backup dancer for Ru when he did his first Vegas show at the Sahara in, I don’t know, 1995? So every award we get, or anytime we get to talk about the show, I just think it reinforces that hopefully there’ll be one more year of RuPaul’s Drag Race and telling those important queer stories that rarely, if ever, get told.
