(Our interview begins at the 27:31 mark in the video above.) The “Queen of All Queens” talks about where she keeps her Drag Race crowns, why she tries to block out compliments from fans, and whether she’d ever want to appear on the biggest sketch program of all time, Saturday Night Live.
“So my first crown is at my manager’s office, ’cause you know, you gotta trot the pony around a little,” she laughs, referring to her fifth-season victory on RuPaul’s Drag Race. “But my second crown and scepter [for the all-winners season of All Stars 7] are in my office at home...

Jinkx Monsoon and Liam Krug’s “Sketchy Queens” returned for Season 2 this week, further cementing its place in a long line of iconic sketch comedy series.
As a longtime fan of “SNL,” “MADtv,” “Kids in the Hall,” “In Living Color” and “The Big Gay Sketch Show,” Monsoon, a two-time winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” told TheWrap how those shows helped prepare her to be ready for anything as an entertainer — even if she has to improv.
“I never know when these things will come, so I’ve just got stuff ready at any moment,” Jinkx explained of her career. “One time, I had to pull a tap dance out of my ass to prove that I could tap dance, and sure enough I had just enough to prove it. I’ve spent a long time preparing myself for whatever the moment calls for.”
