Patrick RyanNEW YORK — RuPaul Charles is here to shake up daytime TV, adding sparkle to a time slot long-dominated by"The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and"Dr. Phil."
"I'm naturally inquisitive about people: where they're from, what makes them tick and what makes them get out of bed in the morning, especially with all the mishegoss going on out there," says RuPaul, 58, who's known almost exclusively by his first name."My whole goal in life, whether there's a camera or not, is to fall in love with the person I'm talking to. It's about finding our common humanity, which isn't very hard to do.
He plays coy when asked whether the towering wigs and skintight dresses will make an appearance on the new"RuPaul," after he opted for sleek suits and thick-rimmed glasses in early shows. But he insists his latest daytime stint will be no less disruptive, bringing a broader perspective to a genre that's rarely been occupied by queer people of color.
