The world wasn't even ready then, they weren't even ready 13 years AFTER this when Drag Race premiered and a large majority of it IS STILL TO THIS DAY not ready... sad, but at least there's progress
Haha... that's what old school queens do... they recycle, and believe me this ain't the only recycled material she wears and uses...she never left the 90s....hahaha! Luv ya Ru!
I was so excited!!! Ru looked STUNNING in it still. Cant believe that tiny little dress still fits her like a glove. Its not about recycling. Its about nostalgia. And not many ppl can wear same dress almost 30yrs later and still look that STUNNING.
Yeah, probably because this was made by VH1 which was an established channel and the first season of Drag Race I’m pretty sure was made by Logo which was MUCH less established and probably didn’t have anywhere near as much money.
This was actually horrible. Legit horrible. I'm glad it got canceled because RuPaul has gotten so much better on the new show. Maybe its just being more mature and experienced.
Who would have guessed that after some years Rupaul and Visage would make a competition show of drag queens and being such a success all over the world?
After looking at this for the first time after watching ever single season of drag race US ever...I can literally see just how much Michelle Visage guides Ru through seamlessly. every.single.time.
oh my goodness. this rocks! it is actually refreshing to see mama Ru not so polished and Michelle Visage, what to say, what to say... She's blonde and her breasts are smaller but that is okay. I think that she is beautiful whether she is blonde or black and whether she is is a c cup or DD. This was so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. much love
i grew up as a grade schoool kid with this stuff and its all I watched. i loved mtv and vh1 back in the 90s so much.... i watched the rupaul show and singled out with jenny mcarthy .! those were the two big ones for me. i have the original Foxy Lady Cd in its case still with the fold out poster lol.
I liked how back then Rupaul was always in drag for his television appearances and his talk show. Nowadays Rupaul hardly ever dress up in drag I only see him dressed in drag on his Rupauls drag race show
If only the queens competing today would realize that every challenge on Drag Race is literally based off of THIS show. Ru and the judges want them to carry themselves as Ru did HERE. This show features literally every aspect of the challenges now. Lip synching. Interviewing. Bring interviewed. Comedic skits. And more.
I wish Ru came out in drag on his show instead. When I heard he was doing a day time show again, I legit thought it was going to be like this but modern. I’ll keep an open mind Mama Ru.

I used to absolutely adore this show! Could never understand why it wasn't more popular. Ahead of its time, maybe?
The world wasn't even ready then, they weren't even ready 13 years AFTER this when Drag Race premiered and a large majority of it IS STILL TO THIS DAY not ready... sad, but at least there's progress
It was definitely ahead of it’s time!!!
To this day it would still be ahead of its time
Omfg a young Michelle Visage
young?
@@Marcus-xd8ux cant you read? This was on fucking 1996.
Right I was like is that Michele?

Notice that her outfit here is the same as the episode where brooke and yvie lip sync!
@@thebriancedric6052 @ 3:24 I thought this was the Nina & Valentina skit.

She sure did. The Snatch Game Runway of Season 11. Come on Ru....Pulling out 25 year old outfits for the show.....you can afford better.

If Michelle now saw Michelle back then, she's critique the hell out of her 😂
I'M SCREAMING!
Lol. So true. I like her as a ging
Both RuPaul and Michelle would've sashayed together in the 1st episode
Gurl it was the 90’s. But yes they could have sashayed away 😅😅
As she should… that would mean that she learned and evolved
This has better quality, cinematography and seems to have a biggest budget than Ru Paul's Drag Race Season 1 hahaha XD
Yeah, probably because this was made by VH1 which was an established channel and the first season of Drag Race I’m pretty sure was made by Logo which was MUCH less established and probably didn’t have anywhere near as much money.
Ru was tirelessly promoting his music on his show even back then 🤣
But still no itunes
Love Rupaul, and at the beginning of the video ,Michelle Visage!! omg
In all the video wtf
She's in the whole thing lol
It's impossible to dislike this video!!! That sketch. I'm living for Ru Paul's legacy!!!
This was actually horrible. Legit horrible. I'm glad it got canceled because RuPaul has gotten so much better on the new show. Maybe its just being more mature and experienced.
Ru's eyes are scaring me!
Rupaul was 36 then
Rupaul is still 36 now
and Michelle looks so different with that hair omg
it’s so cute that they’ve been friends for so long ❤️
That moment when RuPaul looked older in the 90s than in the 2010s
Same with Michelle
I think its the make up
@@jonrichdoe84 I think it's the botox.
Uh no...lol
I think its the Money
Judge Ru would read the hell out of this Ru wig xD
Doubt it. Wasn't it styled by Mathu Anderson ? I thought Mathu was responsible for Ru's hair/make up since Supermodel album to S8 of Drag Race
No it was the 90s
I like it but I think her make up looks a bit manly so with the wig he looks like a gay lion lol.
I'm sorry, shantay away
Nah...all RuPaul wigs are Synthetic so they stay up in the style.
Rupaul goddamn supermodel for real. Look at the body
Wow throw back. Ru n Michelle have been rockin wid each other for quite some time now
Wow .. cant believe that was back in the 90s .. Rupaul is the super hero of drag ❤️
Rupaul, in the faux fur challenge, you had us hooked. Condragulations you are this week's winner
Who would have guessed that after some years Rupaul and Visage would make a competition show of drag queens and being such a success all over the world?

more videos of RuPaul!!!!! thank you for this video :)
I had no idea that was Michelle Visage until about a minute in. She looks gorgeous!
Imagine this being his talk show now?!?!?! Hellllllo!
Omg lol Michelle visage still looked amazing back then
Michelle giving chelsea look from that so raven
Did the introducer just say ‘starring the girl with something extra’ 😂😂
“The introducer” Michelle? 😂
oh my goodness. this rocks! it is actually refreshing to see mama Ru not so polished and Michelle Visage, what to say, what to say... She's blonde and her breasts are smaller but that is okay. I think that she is beautiful whether she is blonde or black and whether she is is a c cup or DD. This was so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. much love
What is so "unpolished" about Ru' look here?!?
That's ginger hair
I don't condone plastic surgery crazy shit
Club 96... the over de top version of Rupaul
I started binge watching this I never knew Michelle did all of this. 💜
Coco and Phi Phi stole the skit from this episode for AS2
I used to watch this THE RUPAUL SHOW great I miss it today 5/5/24 .
That swimsuit Is from the episode of Snatch game in season 11
Rupaul 90's realness
I would never miss a show. I love it !!!! I remember when they aired the last one
I used to watch this regularly and for the life of me I did not remember Michelle Visage in this at all. Vintage Michelle Visage, loving this!
Oh my. Throwback to the Billy B beats. Michelle looks so much better now.
Aw I remember this show on VH1 back in the 1990s !!! 😇
Omg ! Michelle was sooooo hot back then
Omg thank you for sharing and do you have more to post?!?! I never got to see it and I can’t now except for you tube. More please. Thank you
I will see what I can dig up...I need a new VCR.
Sean Warren oh man does that reveal my age I know what that is lol 😝
2:05 "…like a white woman."
To quote Nina Bo’nina Brown, "Well. There ya go. Hahaha." 😆
I vaguely remember the show. That’s awesome to know that they’ve been friends forever.
Mama Ru's teeth, whiter than a child's soul
Oh Ru...looks like he hasn't had a plate of lasagne and breadsticks in decades..lol...
When I was a little girl I thought Rupaul & Grace Jones were the same person 😅
❤ Rupaul
i grew up as a grade schoool kid with this stuff and its all I watched. i loved mtv and vh1 back in the 90s so much.... i watched the rupaul show and singled out with jenny mcarthy .! those were the two big ones for me. i have the original Foxy Lady Cd in its case still with the fold out poster lol.
Damn, that Cornisha and Lattie Da sketch was awesome!
This pure gold! ✨
Wow 2019 and still funny stuff. Good for Rupaul and Michelle Visage 👍🏻
Living his best Cher fantasy!
Michelle Visage, you’re the winner of this week’s challenge. 😂😅
3:30 that must be where mad tv go that lili and malina skit from😂🤣.
This could have just been a sketch show with Ru and Michelle and I would live
That tuck tho....
Rupaul hasnt aged a single day!!
Isn’t this the same look from sequins / snatch game / Brooke vs Yviee episodes in S11 ???
Michelle looks great as a red head. She should consider going back. Just leave the 1970's grandma glasses behind. 😙
Gosh if Rupual wore a white long wig with that make up - boom, easily storm from x men
Ru is and was mesmerizing. Big crush back in the day.💖
Omg Rupaul selfie at the end!
That wig line is harder than Robbie turners
Rupaul really had all the A LIST RNB AND HIP HOP artists on her show
1:49 why am i hearing jazmine masters?
LOL!!!!!!
Hood was present with RuPaul. Now she has evolved even when she talks.
omg this is great 😂
Que bonita !!!!! No manches
Omg is that Michelle visage she was gorgeous yasssss
Seeing this just made my day! I had no idea he used to have a show wtf!!!!!! I hope his new one takes off
I used to watch this on VH1.
Miss rupaul ❤❤
What this song?
Liking this vid just because of that LIT rendition of "Heartbreaker" by RuPaul OMG!!! 😍😍😍🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥 #OVAH
I used to watch this!! It was on VH1. I remember it like yesterday 💚😻👱🏿♀️💜
I was 1 when this originally aired and live in the UK so never got to watch this. Wish I could see full episodes, it looks so cool!
Michelle was looking like an adorable mom.
Where can I watch full episodes of the 1990s RuPaul Show???
Ru was the modern day Vanna White. I'd tune in just to see what Ru was wearing, always gorgeous.
I liked how back then Rupaul was always in drag for his television appearances and his talk show. Nowadays Rupaul hardly ever dress up in drag I only see him dressed in drag on his Rupauls drag race show
Can I purchase these already
So glad you were not hanging around Michael Alig still in 1996. You are very lucky you broke away from that. Love ya, Ru!
Omg cmon michelle ms New Jersey !!!! That accent😂 this is legendary
Ru's contacts 😍
Why have none of the queens done this on snatch game?!?
I didn't know she had another show that wasn't Drag Race
Yep!!! It was great. it would be so neat if VH1 could rerun them.
Bringing you "hellerrr" way before Tyler Perry

@3:36 Adore is that you?!
WTFFFFF IS THAT MICHELLE OR MERLE GINSBERG? (i know is michelle but please take a moment to appreciate the resemblance)
I WISH I WAS AROUND TO EXPERIENCE THIS
Eta! Não sabia q ele fazia show a tanto tempo...👏👏👏
Anyone notice the blue and pink background similar to the one on drag race
I wish Ru came out in drag on his show instead. When I heard he was doing a day time show again, I legit thought it was going to be like this but modern.
I’ll keep an open mind Mama Ru.
WE NEED SOME MONEY WE GON HAVE A TALK SHOW!!! LOL
A blond Michelle visage!!! And with no big boobs at all!! Oh,man, that's vintage!
2019?!?!?!
omg didn't even recognize Michelle
What the first song plis?!!

@@SeanWarren Thanks thanks!!!
i love Ru's makeup here.... miss this show but her new show is great too!!!
OMG She wore the same dress in episode 8 of season 11
This is a great remake song by Rupaul of Pat Benatar's HeartBreaker song. Rupaul needs to make a single of this song
Damn, ru n Michelle go WAY back lol
"Your the right kind of "SINNER," to release my inner fantasies," not "winner."
Which song is that?
