Dropout Sets Drag Queen Monét X Change-Hosted Variety Series ‘Monét’s Slumber Party’ With ‘Pee-Wee’s Playhouse’ Twist (EXCLUSIVE)
"Dungeons and Drag Queens" star Monét X Change has landed her own variety talk series at "Dimension 20" streamer Dropout.
“Combining honest conversation with a little mischief, ‘Monét’s Slumber Party’ will tackle taboo subjects like sex, dating and relationships with openness and humor,” per Dropout. Think “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse,” because that’s the show entertainment company formerly known as CollegeHumor invoked in the variety series’ concept details: “The set comes to life with in-universe characters (cameos, puppets) who transition us to new segments, do interstitial bits, commentate on what’s happening, and serve as general helpers and friends in Monét’s world.” The recurring characters part of this season include Priscilla Davies, Jonathan Kidder and Kevin McDonald. Guests on the first season of “Monét’s Slumber Party” include the usual Dropout suspects (CEO Sam Reich and talent Brennan Lee Mulligan, Isabella Roland, Grant O’Brien, Oscar Montoya, among others) in addition to celebrities Adam Rippon, Rachel Bloom and Joel Kim Booster; drag queens like Kim Chi, Naomi Smalls, Jujubee, Alaska Thunderfuck, Bob the Drag Queen, Meatball and Persephone Valentine; and comedians like Atsuko Okatsuka and Roz Hernandez.
