Приколы
this was literally a maxi-challenge of Rupaul's Drag Race.
Yep it is.
Rupaul trained them well lol
I love this comment so much
Lol yup
They should do this as one though, instead of like the morning shows where they're the host, irl the queens are more likely to get interviewed so this would be great and Id love it if the makeup tutorial was made into a max challenge, because again, its something queens make a lot of money from irl!
Gosh Symone is electric! I love her!
Him😶
Indeed
Symone was underestimated at first but she showed everybody!
Is he her?
@@avrionromain5457 Drag performers almost always refer to themselves as "she" when in drag, and "he" when not in drag.
if only jaida had had these same opportunities :(
Yeah I wish they could both be interviewed
We had a pandemic. Still going through it
i knowww
I f'ing love Jaida. She is amazing. I hope we see more from her she is incredible!! That last lip sync made me miss her and her season. It was one of my all time fav seasons!!
If only Jaida had the same personality and interview skills. She never impresses me when she speaks.
You can tell all the crazy Drag Race challenges prepared Symone well for this moment.
Exactly! I been saying this
@@maro7630 I feel like I'm watching an episode of _RuPaul's Drag Race_
RuPaul seems SO proud of Symone, that's so cute
The cameras were on!!
@@javierlopeztapia5588 LMAO
I think Ru sees so much of himself in Symone
She’s probably the only winner he remembers
@@castelliluca AHAHHAH
Symone, condragulation you're the winner of this week's challenge.
On a serious note, i feel like Ru seeing her younger self when seeing Symone. As Ru said, Symone has that "it factor" that she embodied and made people fell in love with her. She rightfully won the crown this year and i do hope a great future for Symone!
Yeah I also feel that he may see that as well with Shangie
Saying she deserves the crown is a bit of a stretch-
The deserving winner or winners will always be Rosé & Gottmik. Only reason they didn't make Top 2 is due to Kandy & Symone being the Non-white girls.
Right?! The first time I saw Symone I just instantly thought of Ru back in the 80's/90's.
@@tjsquibbofficial your opinion doesn’t matter because she won 👸🏾
@@tjsquibbofficial y'all gotta stop discrediting black queens for winning based off of their race. Symone had the best track record and she performed the best in the finale. Why would the crown go to anyone else?
Symone is literally a reflection of rupaul, same charisma and talent.
She even has a crazy laugh like Ru😂
Chileeeee, I said the same thing
Symone’s Drag Race… has a nice ring to it
Exactly my thoughts!! ❤️Love them both!
stop saying literally
@@garyrobertson6778 literally
This interview shows EXACTLY why she won. She’s a superstar
Her skin is truly gleaming, her hair is such a good tribute. She killed this
Yes, and she has legs that go on for miles; she should insure them, like Betty Grable did. Superbly lovely. May God bless her always.
Symone always glows, never an ash in sight. She is a WAHMYN.
She ? Sounds like a dude
@@thomasproost5478 symone is a drag queen
That’s a man, stop it with the BS. This shirt need to be ban
This is like watching Arsenio interview Ru in the 90s! Symone is a queen for the people!
I saw the SAME THING!
I just said that!
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!! WOW lol
I’m convinced RuPaul sees herself in Symone, she's captivating
I said the same thing. The second I saw her on Rupauls Drag Race I knew she was gonna win because she reminds me so much of Rupaul....he has "It"
For sure
Yes she does 💯since day one 💙
Symone is the essence of drag: she is an actress, a performer, an activist, a storyteller, a comedian, an artist, a fashion icon, and she is such a sweet soul. Love me some symone 🥰
you know who jaida is?
@@kalcriedpower yup she's one of my fav winners. But this video is about symone, so why would I talk abt jaida?
Symone got a team. She doesnt do much all by herself, even before winning. During the season she struggled a lot to do the basics (which are sewing, dancing,singing, writing a short comedy sketch/roast)
@@page394potter8 But she also dominated every runway, acting challenge, and lip sync she was in. Every queen has their strengths. Symone’s a performer and has great personality.
@@page394potter8 all superstars got a team, even jinkx who can’t do anything besides comedy has a team back home.
really wish Ru had invited Jaida along with Symone. Would’ve been nice seeing two reigning queens together bc Jaida got NONE of these perks, I still feel so bad for her!
Gosh she really deserved better!
Me too but Jaida was busy 😏
@@clemermoacir she got back from *that* engagement weeks before this interview happened.
@@MarinaAndTheDevil she really does. the entire cast of s12 deserved so much better. i really hate this pandemic so much
Symone, Shea, and Jaida need to tour together. The trifecta 💕💕💕❤️
The universe would collapse
and Bob and Monet....the Fab 5
@@sweetlyketoffee even better ❤️🔥
The Black Excellence Tour ✨💅🏿💫
@@sweetlyketoffee throw Monique in there as well and I will be front and centre giving them all my money 😍
Symone is going to be the “next Ru Paul .” The billboards, makeup sponsorships the acting everythang! She’s really the first Symone, but she’s going to do it like a supermodel (like Ru Paul did).
No one and I do mean no one will ever be the next RuPaul
@@cecegiles4583 ..... That's why it is in quotations
@@kofivaldez6383 bye Felicia
I BELIEVE THIS WITH EVERY OUNCE OF ME
Absolutely. She’s the best one out of the recent season. Best winner since bob the drag queen
Can we just appreciate Gigi for this HAIR???? Like omg
THIS IS WHY she deserves that crown, Symone is not just a drag Queen she’s a superstar
Symone's skin STAYS hydrated
This melanin is glowing!!!!
YESSSSS
A. Freaking. Star. She was made for the spotlight.
off topic, but ur really cute
@@trevology2736 he issss
@@emanuelcarvalho8510 yea😮
@@trevology2736 Can you queens leave my man alone
She is BRIGHT! And there’s nothing wrong with that!!! Do your thing girl!!!
Dear Jimmy: If you come back, please be more like RuPaul and invite more drag superstars as guests on your show, please! Sincerely, everybody
Omg! Could you imagine?! Latrice. Bianca. Pandora. Tammie. Trixie & Katya. Bob & Monet. Bob & Thorgy. Thorgy as the musical act with Jaida on drums CUZ SHES A F*%!n DRUMMER!! Ginger. Eureka. Jujubee. There’s sooo many queens who could slay this show!
This is the most "extra" I've ever seen Symone. And I'm kinda here for it. Also "I'm not being cocky, I'm just being correct." I'm going to have to use that one.
Amazing interview! Symone truly knows how to connect with the audience without loosing her identity. She has a charismatic charm and I wish her nothing but the best!
I’m sooo proud of her
I’ve never seen Rupaul more happy or celebrate a winner more than Symone.
It feels like Rupaul is interviewing herself back when she was younger, godness!!
Yes!
Lol Symone really is Baby Ru. I hope she has the same longevity and fruitful career!
Well now all I wanna see is Symone vs. Guillermo.
Very that.
Same
Ok so Symone wants to act. She has to play Ru Paul when they make a movie about him!! It is like seeing Mom and daughter!
I truly smiled all throughout this ❤️
Somehow I did too
Only the fake wouldn't admit it
same. there's so much joy, here.
Same.
Me too! I love Symone!
She is the realist queen that has won. Heart on her sleeve, humor, and her beauty doesn't go to her head.
Omg condragulations symone!!!! First drag race queen to be interviewed on actual late night tv!!!! Big step and I’m so proud to see it!
Nobody knows how Iconic this will be 10 year's from now including Ru. Sy has a persona that has personified an overlasped her drag persona into a full realized Person such as what Ru has done ....
I love her usage of hands, with those nails it’s like elegant swords swiveling.
Symone did that!! So proud of how she owns the world right now!!! Keep on shining Ebony Enchantress!
This reminds me when RuPaul performed “Supermodel” on television. Symone literally embodies young RuPaul. What an icon! ✨🖤
Omg Symone’s confidence literally is out the roof! Wow! Talk about America’s Drag Superstar!
I was thinking the same and it’s so cute knowing she was a shy emo/goth kid at one point. That speaks to me so hard 💕🥺💕
Gurl is such a star that she's literally shining.
Love this comment
Symone is such a star. You can tell Ru sees so much of herself in Symone.
Symone is dripping in charm ✨
When she entered, she looked like an alien arriving in earth and thinking “so these are the humans huh?”
Symone is so cool 🤩, im living for the back to my roots look. Cute
She’s such a natural and so charismatic.
I met Symone at a Pride event this year and she couldn't have been nicer or more down to earth
I'm surprised ru hasn't adopted Symone yet.
this is like DeBOHrah entering the Bossy Rossy but in real life 😭😭😭😭
This is wonderful to have Symone on the show! Jimmy wouldn’t be able to handle it, he would be making jokes about what’s going on between her legs and be boggled at drag as a concept and not about her talent or stardom !
I was so shocked to see Symone as a thumbnail for Jimmy Kimmel video like omg this is truly huge. Tho I wish one day this would happen with Jimmy hosting. Like sometimes the winners of the Bachelor or different reality shows are interviewd on talk shows, but never drag race...
Drag Race is bigger than the Jimmy Kimmel show.
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy that comparison makes no sense, you are comparing talk show with reality tv show.
Look at how Symone even holds her hands like Ru! Symone is the superstar that can NEVER be denied. And I love how she showcases her all of her identity in ways that draw you into it. A true Class Act!!!
i haven't been so invested in a drag queen like i have symone. she's so amazing
I’m just glad she didn’t have to lip sync for her lice
not lice😭😭
HAHAHAHAHA!
LMAOOOO
Mama Ru love Symone and love House of Avalon. I'm happy to have those people in my life 🥺
HELLO 👋 GREETINGS FROM ROYAL FAMILY.
Symone really gets the audience connected!!! She is feeding off of it
“The girl that play princess Diana on the crown” 😂😂
This was giving me A throwback to the Arsenio Halls interview with Rupaul back in 93! FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. Similar outfit and kinda interview. So amazing! My heart is full after last night!
petition to make Symone the main host of the drag race when ru retires :D
I love her, this is exactly what my spirit needed today. She will garner all the success and accolades, a true queen.
Symone was my immediate favourite from the very 1st episode. She has amazing comedic timing, charisma and that "it" factor.
It's literally like watching RuPaul interview her younger self. This is iconic.
This is like when Rupual was introduced on the Arsenal Hall show. ICONIC!!!!
The same wig
"Is your blood sug-ah low?!"
i can't stop seeing young ru in the guest chair of chatshows in the 90s🥺 symone's charisma and style are so- if ru ever needed an official successor symone would be PERFECT
I used tho think TRIXIE was going to be the next rupaul but now I’m convinced Symone is the next rupaul. Wow. She’s amazing.
Trixie is the next Lady Bunny so they could definitely be a pair!
@@magdaluxe oh shir wait YEA that’s RHE new pair I need.
Neither of them. Rupaul's songs have been on charts. Symone can't sing; Trixie doesn't have Rupaul's voice. I don't see any queen fill up Ru's shoes. Instagram & 'Star quality' is not enough, u need to have a talent: singing/acting/comedy etc
@@yojiviriak675 um. Trixie literally has the voice, a greater voice just not in disco and pop it’s in country. And trixie was in AHS. and trixie literally does stand up…… but okay. Ru needs to step down eventually so drag doesn’t die after she does.
@@poopnoodle9563 drag isn’t going to die if ru dies, that’s such a silly statement. Drag will always be here
Girl I'm so proud of her 😭♥️♥️
Symone... is just everything.
She's so excited and I love to see it ❤️ Ru encouraging her and letting her be herself was wonderful to see, Ru is a great host!
Symone, Jaida and Shea are the epitome of the word EXQUISITE
Bob, Monet, Shea, Symone & Jada… we need the big 5 on tour
This is so iconic. Symone is truly a star. This was great!
If drag queens got this amount of representation…. Long live drag!!!
Symone always leaves me at a loss for words. I don't think the English language has developed enough to have the proper words to describe how out of this world she is. I can't believe I'm alive at the same time as this absolute legend
Fabulous interview and showcasing of Symone!
Someone needs to give Ru Paul a talk show. I already know he tried to make his own but I guess it didn't work out. I loved it. He had amazing guests and he really knows how to engage with everyone. Love you Ru Paul!
oh it did well. it was on vh1 for years and then times changed. he does do well giving interviews
This is giving me Rupaul at the Arsenio Hall show in '93 flashbacks, that's a full cycle for mama Ru as an entertainer! Love them both 💕, "you better work and don't let the smooth taste fool you"!
symone is the definition of drag at this point, ru said “you have a star quality” in the first challenge to symone, probably she saw her young herself in symone & that was right. symone’ll be a legend in the future & probably can fill rupaul’s space if she dies.
I wish this moment between these two could last forever! RuPaul is so fond of Symone.
You know what I love? The talk show host actually letting their guest speak! Kudos to Ru for letting her girl Symone shine! ✨
Symone has the young Ru vibes in this interview. I can feel Ru enjoyed this interview as much as Symone did 💙
QUEEEEN! So proud of her🥺
Symone is killing it. So proud as a fan.
Gosh yes. Symone is radiant with flawless, nourished skin. I can't wait to see what she does next! RuPaul has an immense talent: an ability to spot what is special and rare. Ultimately he does this for business gain but there's no shade in that. Ru has shifted the entertainment paradigm permanently and deserves to be a behemoth of success
Symone continues to show us the star that she is. I loved this interview and the way they banter off eachother. I love when we get to see the real bond that rupaul creates with some of the queens. They may not interact and be friends outside of these appearances but there is something abt the chemistry between them or even rupaul and other queens like silky that you can see ru is really rooting for these queens.
Symone is such a natural on camera, what a lovely and deserving winner 😊
She’s his favorite and it shows 😌 lowkey she’s gonna replace ru retires and I’m here for it
I’m so glad Symone is being treated like the STAR she is!
So great to see one of my drag faves on late night!! Thank you to those at Jimmy Kimmel Live! And Ru was a fun host!!
The tic tac podcast got elevated this season..
Yes henny, let them straight Kimmel viewers have it!
Symone you deserve all of this love and appreciation. Youre a star!!
What does it for me with Symone is the humbleness that just shines through everything she does. She's funny and like Ru said, charming. I loved her from day one with her polaroid dress. As the competition went on and she constantly made statements with her runway looks. Statements that were just her embracing who she is. I simply fell inlove with her. I remember the white dress she wore for the BLM statement, I think it was the fascinator category. She was safe that day. But out of all the looks there, hers was THE statement. It will be remembered by those who saw it for years to come. She wasn't just a contestant on that show, she wasn't just a drag queen either. She was an activist, an icon. A whole force of nature, that commanded to be seen and heard. I don't know about anyone else, but I saw her and I heard her.
She’s so damn charismatic! My queen!
This was FIREEEE! Take notes, kids!
I’m so proud of her!!
HELLO 👋 GREETINGS FROM ROYAL FAMILY.
i smiled through the whole interview! LOVE Symone!!! baby she's carrying that Rupaul legacy like no other
this feels like a drag race challenge lol
An Icon & an up and coming Legend! Loved this so much!
her charisma
uniqueness
energy
is EVERYTHING
Symone i’m so proud of your kween
♥
Symone's hairdo is incredible.
Gigi Goode styles her wigs. Absolutely stunning! ✨
@@mevrouwroos Keep Up the Goode Work GiGi!
PROUD OF HER! She's stunning
R U KIDDING SYMONE ON JIMMY KIMMEL KAJDHSJSHD
Ikr
LOVE LOVE LOVE SYMONE! so awesome to see Drag Queens getting the recognition they deserve! this is what drag race was getting them ready for. interviews, filming, and such.
I think Simone is Ru’s favourite, she basically even looks like Ru
