“Drag Race’s” Michelle Visage knows the secret to winning the reality competition show: “Make Ru laugh.”

And she should know. Visage has been a judge on the main show, “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” for over 16 years. RuPaul isn’t just a colleague—he’s her best friend. She has said this many times before and repeats it for any queen. She says, “You would think after a few seasons they would understand that.” However, her observation is that queens tend to overthink. “It happens all the time. You want to make Ru laugh, and you’re overthinking. But when you peel it away, you realize, ‘Oh, this is not as difficult as I was making it out to be.’”
