Meet the celebrity guest judges for the 12th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race! From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Whoopi Goldberg, this is just the beginning. Prepare to gag!!
With former celebrity judges ranging from former soap opera star turned Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Lisa Rinna, iconic Singing In The Rain actress, Debbie Reynolds, and stars of the original reality show ‘The Osbournes‘ Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne, season 12 RPDR celebrity judges have large shoes to fill.
In case you missed it, Nicki Minaj is kicking off the season 12 premiere off at the show’s celebrity judge, but the big names don’t stop there. Without further ado, here are the celebs joining Queen Mama Ru, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Mathews on the panel. (Shout out to both Carson and Ross from evolving from former celeb judges to full time judges for the 12th season of the Emmy Award winning show. Glad these two funny guys got to shontay stay on the show!)
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
When the New York congress woman isn’t busy saving the world, she’s fangirling hard for the Queens from RPDR.ย Never forget the time AOC caught up with Sasha Velour after an NYC performance of her live show, Smoke & Mirrors.

Whoopi Goldberg:
You may have been keeping up with Whoopi daily on The View, but never forget the actress was in blockbuster movies like Ghost, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, and Girl, Interrupted. I’m just curious if the girls on Whoopi’s RPDR episode will lip sync for their life to one of the many bops from the Sister Act soundtrack.
Check out the rest of the judges!
