This Season’s Pit Stop Has Its Host And She’s An Icon
Plus, Bianca Del Rio stars in an animated Christmas special that has us giggling.
With the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race headed our way in January, that also means a brand new season of Pit Stop is on the way, too. Today, MTV announced who’ll be taking over hosting duties to recap season 15 and the queen is an icon.
Taking over for queens that’ve included Trixie Mattel, Bob the Drag Queen, and Raja, this season’s hosting chair will be filled by none other than season six winner Bianca Del Rio.
This season, Bianca, along with a weekly guest, will break down all the looks and drama — with no doubt plenty of shade; this Bianca after all — of every episode of season 15.
Drag Race returns on its new home, MTV, on January 6 at 8 p.m., and new episodes drop the following day on the RuPaul’s Drag Race YouTube channel.
Also hitting RuPaul’s YouTube channel just in time for the Holidays is a new animated Christmas short starring the new Pit Stop host, Bianca. According to the official synopsis, “Bianca Saves Christmas brings audiences to the year 2009 where Palm Springs is a ghost town. Christmas cheer has plummeted to new lows, and Bianca Del Rio is the holiday’s last hope. Bianca’s Butler (voiced by Cheyenne Jackson) hopes to convince the Queen of Mean to save Christmas… but will she!?”
The special was created by award-winning animation studio, Cartuna, and is streaming now on YouTube. Watch the holiday special short below.
