RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 1: Where Are They Now?

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars continues to be one of the most popular reality TV shows on the air. Premiering in 2012, the show has endured five seasons and 43 episodes thus far. The premise of the show plucks the best and brightest Queens from previous seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race and forces them to square off in an epic battle for stylistic supremacy.

The season five finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars aired on July 24, 2020. In anticipation of the announced Season 6 premiere date, it makes sense to take a look back and ask what the original cast members are up to these days. This is where RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 1 Are Today.

12 Chad Michaels

After appearing on the opening season of the show, Chad Michaels parlayed his popularity into a number of small-screen acting gigs. In addition to guest-starring on Jane the Virgin, Michaels also appeared as a Cher impersonator on 2 Broke Girls.
