Movement To Have Bianca Del Rio Host Saturday night Live Gains Momentum

6/6/2014

Since taking the crown on this season of RuPaul's Drag Race, Bianca Del Rio has been one busy queen. In the midst of all her performances and bookings, she's also managed to up the ante on her fundraising efforts for 'Hurricane Bianca' and release tons of hysterical new videos. If she could even make time in her busy schedule, fans want to see Bianca take those hilarious hosting skills "Live from New York" for Saturday Night Live.

A dedicated group of fans began the Facebook campaign efforts years before Bianca's name became a global sensation, but with her recent exposure on RuPaul's Drag Race, there's more support than ever! The group is now over 30,000 strong, and growing rapidly.

So, what do you think? Is America ready for Bianca Del Rio's clown realness? If so, make sure you join the movement and make your voice heard!

It's great to see activists in action fighting to secure rights and protections for the lgbtq communitiy. People using their valuable time to do something that will really make a difference to future generations. People with their priorities and hearts in the right place. Or just go watch Terry Sweeney's Nancy Reagan on SNL from 27 years ago and shut up. Seriously, Lorne MIchaels isn't going to have a drag queen host. If RuPaul hasn't been on SNL by now, nobody else will. Biggest chance would be Adore as a musical guest. That said, WTF is up with Adore not being asked to be on Ellen? She was so supportive and had him on when he got booted from American Idol but now that he has an actual album to sing from, not a peep. She's such a sell-out. Okay, not really a sell-out but still, let's see an Adore Delano on Ellen campaign!

Really Queen?

I think this has less to do with getting a drag queen on SNL so much as it has to do with getting a hilarious bitch on SNL. A hilarious bitch who's been a staple of New York City for years, for that matter.

Also, I love when people try to discredit something by bringing up a completely irrelevant argument. Adore on Ellen has nothing to do with this. And as far as Ru not having hosted, Ru isn't as funny as Bianca, to be honest.

I wasn't trolling. It's my opinion. And it is related. Drag Queens on mainstream TV, a stated goal of Adore. And one Jinkx and Shangela have achieved. See their imdbs.

Drag Official: Are you gonna do a Season 7 Cast Hunt like in Season 6? I'm dying to begin the hunting of the girls that mysteriously disappear in mid June due to the filming.

Detox and Willam both have solo gigs outside of the US without Vicky in August. Make of that what you will?

Yeah, I hope you all do that too. I've read some stuff on the drag race reddit. I'm not repeating it here as I guess it can be seen as unsubstantiated spoilerage. The non-spoiler deal though is people are talking about if there is an All Stars 2 or not and when it would be filmed if there is. So in terms of tracking when people disappear, if there is an All Stars, you'd look at Alaska, etc. disappearing from the public.

The other part is that possibly the show wouldn't be filmed starting in June like last time. Maybe it would be too obvious with people disappear in Pride month. There will always be queens who don't have a real social media presence so nobody will notice much if they're gone. But it is fun to speculate.

It's not a secret that people would think Vicky would be cast so paying attention to her schedule could be relevant. But they don't sequester after elimination so it's hard to say what happened unless someone is gone a long while.

I think they like the publicity of people guessing so will allow some teasers maybe. The only guesses I'd have is it's likely there will be at least one Seattle and one NY queen. Probably an SF one and maybe another international one. England this time maybe? Also maybe a bioqueen. Probably not a drag king.

Weho Confidential supposedly has inside info. Looking back on last season, they did seem to have someone spill the beans who was in the audience of the comedy challenge. They didn't name names but described people physically. That part I don't think is fun as it really does spoil things. I do like the idea of knowing the cast in advance though. That's fun!

You know, there hasn't been an actual drag personality on any of Lorne Michaels' shows since Brini on Conan O'Brien decades ago. (LIU) And besides, apart from the Betty White effort, fan campaigns haven't worked. There's still one for Conan to host a second time (tho ex-employee Louie C.K. has hosted 2x). I still won't forgive SNL for that "My Girlfriend Has A D*ck" fake trailer...
