Miss Piggy spoke her next role into existence. In our interview last year with the pinnacle of puppet fashion, Miss Piggy said she was ready and willing to be a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Now, it’s officially happening. It was announced today that the most glamorous Muppet will appear on the upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. As a regular participant in beauty pageants, Miss Piggy brings knowledge, grace, and plenty of drama to the new season.
VH1 and Paramount+ announced the full lineup of guest judges for the sixth season, premiering on June 24. Aisha Tyler, Big Freedia, Charli XCX, Emma Roberts, Jamal Sims, Justin Simien, Tia Mowry, Tina Knowles-Lawson (Yes, Beyoncé and Solange’s mother), and Emmy-award winning fashion designer Zaldy will all join the mainstay judges of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Other special guest appearances include Alec Mapa, Angela Bassett, Cheyenne Jackson, Fortune Feimster, Jermaine Fowler, Tanya Tucker, and of course, Miss Piggy herself.
This season of All Stars will air solely on Paramount+, with thirteen queens returning for their chance to snag the crown. The lineup of queens will include season 11's A’Keria C. Davenport, Eureka! from season 9 and 10, Ginger Minj from season 7, Jiggly Caliente from season 4, Pandora Boxx from season 2, and more. They are putting it all on the line once again for their chance to dazzle, dance, and snap some necks.
In the new trailer, host RuPaul Charles promises a twist this season with a “game within a game.” Paramount and VH1 say that this season will bring the “mother of all twists that will leave viewers gagged.” What this game inception will look like is still unknown, but it seems like things will be a bit more personal for the queens this time around.

I’m still holding out for Lew Zealand.
This is appropriate, cuz Miss Piggy’s always been a bit of a drag.
miss piggy is abusive asF
As was said in a recent Muppets thinkpiece (Vulture?), Muppets don’t work well in real-world settings. It needs to be Muppets with a handful of humans, operating on Muppet terms, not the other way around.
That article seemed to ignore every time this kind of thing happened when Jim was alive. Like, how is this different than Kermit taking over for Johnny Carson or Big Bird appearing on Hollywood Squares?
Watch the Tonight Show episode and you’ll see. It plays like an episode of The Muppet Show, albeit less chaotic, rather than a Tonight Show. Kermit chats with a guest, other Muppets pop out, they show a Muppet Movie clip, they show some Muppet sketches, Bernadette Peters and Leo Sayer sing (both guests of The Muppet Show).
As I said, a handful of humans. Plus, obviously, they had Jim.
Is this going to be mainly Muppets with a couple humans? I doubt it.
They did not imply otherwise, did they? The article is not saying this is a first or anything.
I dunno know about that. Miss Piggy hosting the red carpet at the BAFTAs was awesome.
I really wanted that dress, so so so much
that was so good and so witty.
I remember Miss Piggy as a guest judge on Project Runway. I wish I didn’t.
Muppets don’t work well in real-world settings.
I can’t imagine a worse take than this.
This is absolute nonsense. Hell, there was an episode of WWE RAW where the Muppets were the guest hosts and Beaker had an interaction with pro wrestler Sheamus that’s considered one of the funniest segments on that show to this day.
Correct me if I’m wrong but has there ever been a pageant challenge on this show. You would think they would have done it because Pageants have been a drag staple since the beginning.
the whole thing is a pageant.
Tanya Tucker?
HELL YES.
