RuPaul<\/a><\/strong> has done so much as host of Saturday Night Live<\/em> and the episode hasn’t even aired as of the time this article was originally published.<\/p>\n

The Emmy-winning host of RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/em> makes SNL<\/em> history by being the first drag performer to host the long-running sketch comedy series and in two promos Ru serves up the comedy. In a video released in early February, Ru and Cecily Strong<\/strong> sissy that walk to the Saturday Night Live<\/em> studios. It’s fantastic.<\/p>\n

Once in the studio, the two encounter Beck Bennett<\/strong> who is feasting on pizza leftover from the previous show’s host, J.J. Watt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“What’s a J.J. Watt, baby?” Ru asks.<\/p>\n

In the second promo, RuPaul appears in drag alongside Kate McKinnon<\/a><\/strong> and it truly looks like the two Emmy winners are having the time of their lives together.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Ru, I have to say: You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen,” McKinnon tells the host.<\/p>\n

“And you\u2026are correct,” RuPaul says.<\/p>\n

“Oh my god,” McKinnon whispers before throwing her arms up in triumph.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“With each new generation of queens, the RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/em> revolution continues to drive culture,” RuPaul said in a statement when the new cast was announced<\/a>. “And as more and more new viewers discover the show, the phenomenon continues to open hearts and minds with love, laughter and a whole lotta sass.”<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber<\/a><\/strong> is the musical guest in the Saturday, Feb. 8 episode of Saturday Night Live<\/em>. This is his third appearance on the stage.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
