People who leave us on 'Drag Race' too soon aren't always the contestants. Sometimes, they're judges. So Joseph talks in this episode with Merle Ginsberg, the writer and fashion expert who appeared on the first two seasons of the series. Joseph and Merle chat about how Merle got to where she is today, the charm of the first season (that filter!), and some more behind-the-scene details from the series. So sashay your way to that play button and listen in!

No T No Shade, but I wouldn’t mind if she replaces Carson and Ross. I think her and Michelle would be the perfect balance. Let’s get her back on the show!!
Carson and Ross are so boring.
I love Ross! He's really funny to me
carson is ok i think ross is a little cringey
Keep Carson, boot Ross, add Merle
@@iambored678 the hilarious ross mathews.
Can we get WoW to watch this and get her to comeback on the show?? She truly deserves a second chance to comeback - maybe she’s an All Stars only judge? Either way, I truly miss her judging style.
MERLE FOR ALL STARS JUDGE LETS GET IT TRENDING YALL
This is such a good idea ! You should tweet it to wow and Ru! I would but I don’t Twitter 🤭
Merle Ginseng’s All Star Drag Race
Maybe a guest judge
Love that Merle still has the season 1 filter going on 😂
Jajaja. Why did I think the exact same thing when watching. That and wow she looks at lot like Chad Micheals. Lol
@@peacheserrano1 she does! Lmfao
@@Togepapi lol
She looks good for 68. She will be 69 in January! =)
Lol... That was my first thought.
Imagine Merle on Season 3 with all of those design challenges. That would've been EPIC!
She would make an absolutely fabulous teacher. She can explain things so clearly and is super humble
She gives off the same vibes as a teacher as well, I feel like she would be that underrated teacher you have about once a week who you realise is really nice every now and then
Merle is such an untapped resource for Rupaul’s Drag Race. She needs to guest judge more often. I’d love to see her and Carson Kressley judging a ball together.
I was not expecting this but she’s a very much welcome interviewee.
Epic.
Merle & Michelle need to exist on the panel together - they are two sides of the same nourishing coin.
Its call season 7
@@Maya-ph9rb
Captain Obvious much...
welcome to the stage miss nourishing coin
I wanna preface with how happy I am to see this interview. But also I lost my mind when Merle called Zaldi "Baldy", just wheezing
And the fact that Joseph didn’t seem to know what she was talking about.... 🤭 good thing Z was on All Stars last week! Hey we all learn every day. Xo
I rushed to the comments just to check if someone else also caught on to that hahaha
She was a great judge, fair and balanced.
Joseph, this is everything! and was NOT expecting it!!! Great surprise to wake up to on a Tuesday morning, thank you! Love and miss Merle!
I miss Merle too! I also miss those early days of RPDR and wish I’d somehow gotten a job on set back then! Ha.
OMG. This is going to be so good. I just rewatched S1 and forgot how great it was to watch Merle as a judge.
she's such a calming voice you just hang on her every word
Merle was great on RPDR s 1 and 2. They should bring her back more.
In season 2 curtains runway, I think it was Merle who said " I never met a gromit I didn't like" and Kathy G. said " yeah me too...idk what that is but I agree" I laughed so hard.
“Negativity is easy. Positivity is hard.” I love that.
Love this interview! Also love when Merle called Zaldy "Baldy" on accident xD
BRING BACK MY MERLE!!!
This is such a fabulous interview, and to see sides of Merle that we've never got to see before is just beyond amazing. Well done
LEGENDARY 😭🔥💝
One of my favorite judges on the panel!
Literally my favorite interview you’ve ever done. I could listen to Merle talk forever.
This was such a pleasant interview! There’s only so much you can get about a person from a one hour interview but Merle really came off as a smart and kind person. I did like her as a judge for the first two seasons so it was a shame when she left.
Hey, she’s still using that season 1 filter!
She needs to come back for all stars. Literally. Like, have her be a judge for all stars.
This was probably the best episode..
This interview is such an unexpected delight! What a treat that you connected with Merle. She always struck me as funny, clever, and thoughtful. Thank you for nabbing her and brightening my Tuesday!
BRING HER BAAAACK, the show is so tired now, bring her back ò.o
Yes!!!!
Such a great interview .. that first part where Merle discusses her roots in fashion - beyond unique and fascinating . That could’ve spanned 50 minutes and I would still want more . So articulate ; great responses to the questions asked . Even when it veers off , she comes back and ties all together . I loved this interview - oh my god . Can’t express that enough . I’m not comparing Michelle to Merle when I say this , but I definitely prefer Merle’s perspective . She’s so multifaceted and well versed in so many aspects of the industry . Merle will always have a special place in my heart - for sure . Great interview again ! Keep on Exposing ! 💙
So excited!! Really interesting hearing Merle’s backstory. Would love to see her on the show again
Joseph, this was such a great interview and Merle was an absolute joy to listen to. I loved getting cool tidbits of info here and there. I would love to see Merle back on the show. She brings such a calm, grounded energy, which reminds me a bit of the judging on Drag Race España which I loved.
Wow! No one has ever hooked up in an interview like Merle has! And props to joseph for making it such an successful interview. Damn
Im not a talker but id really love to go out with merle and hear her stories 😭
MERLE!!!!!.......she needs to be on as a guest judge. twice a season. minimum. 😍
She gives great advice and was always sweet but stern.
Every other episode 🙌🏽
Ironically, her webcam is giving her that season 1 filter
Not long enough! More Merle!
This one was actually one of my fav interviews you have done.
What an amazing interview. I could listen to both of you chat for hours! Bring back Merle to Drag Race!
merle is just an amazing speaker. she has great stories, a great attitude and i really dig her vibe. i really enjoyed this. i hope to see more of merle soon!
One of my FAVORITE Interviews in recent memory from any interviewer w/ any interviewee on any platform. Thanks! 🙏
I could watch her for at least another hour! Great job!!
Yes!!!! Thank you both for doing this interview! It is nice to hear more of Merle's experience.
Thanx such a great interview! Didn't know all of that about Merle!
I love merle! I've often looked on here throughout the years for an interview like this & you have delivered it. Thanks alot Joseph 😊
Imagine Merle over Ross and Carson like the flavor I can’t😫😍
She is SUCH a pleasure to listen to! Eloquent, funny, intelligent. I would love to see her back as a Special Guest Judge or even a permanent member of the panel!
So glad you interviewed her I miss her and always wondered what happened to her on drag race.
Dear Joseph, what a great interview! Thank you!
What an insightful intelligent woman! And the life stories she has - OMG - can you have a part two or a once a month with Merle?
does Merle have a podcast? because my god I picked up so much little pieces of wisdom from this !
Omg Merle! She is a native legend. We're both from Atlantic city! I love her
Such a great interview! I feel like I could talk to Merle for hours too! I hadn't heard that Lennon anecdote but it's super inspiration! Merle, you're just great!
“Silence, bring back my Merle.”
"Baldy" I AM SCREAMINGGG
The fact that zaldi is baldi. 😂
The BEST interview yet. I love all of the knowledge bombs. Inspiring in everyway, especially as a writer. XO
What they didn’t teach in Home Economics is webcam lighting and position.
Ms. Merle is just spilling it all and IM HERE FOR IT!!! I miss her on the show! I watched since day one!
I absolutely LOVED this interview. It’s one of my favorites that you’ve done. I wished you would’ve asked her about what Michelle said to her in those emails though. I’ve always been so curious about any interactions they’ve had.
This was a wonderful interview with a few memorable nuggets. I saw an old on the scene interview you did with Adore where you were very sweet with her. Hopefully she’s on here soon!
"RuPaul has clearly had a lot of therapy" LMAOOO
Such a great interview, thanks
You are spoiling us with how many atm, thank you =) !!
I recently discovered that if I watch Drag Race season one in black and white, its more watchable because that blurry filter gives me a headache.
Omg me too !!
The dedication we have lol
love this! Merle is a drag race legend!
This was so great! Hope we can hear more of her! Maybe even reunite her with some of the earlier queens. I also encourage folks to look to Mathu Anderson. South an incredible creative.
Mathu has become a novitiate in a silent nunnery. Interviews are forbidden.
I wish you guys talked about season 2!! It was only about season 1 talk. There were so many moments on 2 I'm surprised y'all skipped that season.
Soso cool to have Merle here
I could listen to her all day too. I loved listening to this live while I was driving.
Yaaaas, she brought that Season 1 filter, hunty!
I love Merle! What an incredible interview! I could listen to her for hours!
It’s Merle’s filter and we just living in it
One of the best interviews I've seen in a long time!!
Great interview Joseph, liked getting to see Merle on a personal level. Kudos
She was lovely then and she’s lovely now 🥰 Thanks for this interview
i love hearing from merle and knowing more of what she does. love this interview
Ugh she’s a legend, she NEEDS to come back on the show again even just as a guest
We need a night of 1000 Merles challenge!!
This was AMAZING! Merle seems like such an intelligent and funny woman with a ton of great stories. 💗
Ugh I miss her!! I absolutely miss when the judges panel didn’t feel superficial and just a collab with a random celebrity.
This is the best interview by far!
New to your channel. Loved this interview and also Shangela. Look forward to more. People seem very comfortable with you and open up making for great storytelling.
Love her. Such a great interview. What’s up with the season 1 filter? Lol
This was really fun! She has so many stories!
Yes, the Yoko Ono art installation was brilliant and beautiful.
Merle is the thing!!!! Lovely interview... hope she'll come back on RPDR
Really glad you did this one because I didn’t realize just how accomplished Merle is and how long she’s been in the industry.
This was so beautiful, she's such a beautiful person. I wish I could meet her for coffee and listen to her stories. Fashion queen, scent queen!
I was having a very anxious night and this was so oddly soothing lol
YES! Now this is Drag Race Royalty!
She has such great stories I could listen to her for hours! Love you Merle!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The show Launch My Line that she was on was such a fantastic premise and truly foreshadowed Project Runway. She is so ahead of her time….her designs were great. Her best line was so funny…”You’re so zen right now I want to kill you”!
Not baldy, girl😂😂
Great interview!
Merle's outfit is fantastic! Stripped pants and a floral top...f*ckin fabulous!!!!
Yes grrl, yes!!!
Wonderful! Thank you! NEGATIVITY IS EASY! POSITIVITY takes COMMITMENT! So we CHOOSE to be!
I saw Merle Ginsberg and I had to click immediately.
Another amazing interview! Thanks so much Joseph!
That’ a bigger twist that Bebe on All stars
Nice to see Merle on here.
I really enjoyed this interview and kind of low key want to be her. I mean she may not be the most famous but she is very successful in what she does and lives her life. I love hearing about all of her stories, especially spending a year in Tel Aviv.
Joseph wants to be friends with Merle, it's so cool. I wanna be friends with Merle, who wouldn't
She still got that Season 1 filter on her for the interview! Yes girl!
Great interview!!!
