starting on June 10.
RuPaul will air Monday through
Friday on select Fox TV stations, including WNYW in New York and

Deadline Hollywood described the
upcoming show as “Charles' modern take on the talk show format. He
will showcase his aspirational message with celebrity and newsmaker
interviews, along with empowering everyday people to become their
best selves. His sense of beauty, make-up and style will make the
runway work for everyone.”
“Now more than ever before we need a
global voice that will help everyday people navigate this unique time
in history,” said RuPaul. “Not only do I want to be a part of
that conversation, I want to help facilitate it.”
