Hey Qween!: Where Drag Royalty Takes the Throne
In Hey Qween!, McGovern reigns supreme as he sits down with the eliminated queen from the previous episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 for their debut TV interview. Airing exclusively on World of Wonder’s SVOD platform WOW Presents Plus, each episode is a spectacle of glamour, gossip, and piping hot T straight from the main stage. McGovern’s partnership with World of Wonder grants unparalleled access to the world of drag, bringing viewers closer to their favorite queens than ever before. Check out all the episodes before the gag-worthy Drag Race Season 16 finale!
Despite the glitz and glamour, McGovern’s return to TV is bittersweet, as he reflects on the absence of his beloved co-host, the late Lady Red Couture. Lady Red was not just a co-host; she was McGovern’s best friend and confidante, leaving an indelible mark on the show’s legacy. In her memory, drag queen Kevin Aviance steps into the role, paying homage to Lady Red’s iconic presence and ensuring her spirit lives on in every episode.
A Star-Studded Lineup Fit for a Queen
One of the crown jewels of Hey Qween! has always been its star-studded lineup of guests, which reads like a who’s who of drag royalty. From fan-favorite queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race to rising stars making waves in the drag community, McGovern ensures that every episode is a feast for the eyes and ears.
Whether it’s the quick-witted banter of Jinkx Monsoon, the unapologetic realness of Alaska Thunderfuck, or the boundless creativity of Sasha Velour, Hey Qween! showcases the diverse talents and personalities that make drag such a captivating art form. McGovern’s skillful interviewing allows each queen to shine in their own right, creating moments of laughter, inspiration, and pure, unadulterated fabulousness.
Beyond the Glitter and Glamour: A Platform for Empowerment
While Hey Qween! is undoubtedly a celebration of all things fabulous, it also serves as a platform for empowerment and advocacy within the LGBTQ+ community. McGovern uses his show to address important issues facing queer and marginalized communities, from the fight for equality to the importance of representation in media.
Through his interviews with drag queens, McGovern sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of navigating a world that often fails to understand or appreciate the beauty of difference. By amplifying these voices and sharing their stories with a global audience, he empowers viewers to embrace their own uniqueness and stand tall in the face of adversity.
