Drag Race is an American reality competition television series produced by Piper TV. The show documents RuPaul in the search for "America's next drag superstar." RuPaul plays the role of host, mentor, and head judge for this series, as contestants are given different challenges each week. Drag Race employs a panel of judges, including RuPaul, best friend, Michelle Visage, actress and activist Laverne Cox, comedian Joel Kim Booster, former Real Housewife of Atlanta and model Cynthia Bailey, as well as a host of other guest judges, who critique contestants' progress throughout the competition. Previous permanent judges include fashion consultant George Kotsiopoulos, model Ashley Graham, and comedian Dewayne Perkins. The title of the show is a play on drag queen and drag racing, and the title sequence and song "Drag Race" both have a drag-racing theme.
