RuPaul Turns Pete Davidson Into the Future Queen of Drag in SNL's Best Chad Skit Yet

Published on Feb 9, 2020 at 10:55 AM

Drag's next cover girl is . . . Pete Davidson? RuPaul sees real potential in Davidson's recurring Chad character in a Saturday Night Live skit from Feb. 8. Turns out, not even RuPaul is immune to the dorkish charms of Chad. Instead of falling in love with Chad like most celeb hosts, RuPaul sees him as the future queen of drag, which just makes their bond better.

RuPaul walks Chad through the essential steps of drag — the tuck, the look, and the face — before introducing him to a life in front of the camera. Chad might not be cut out for the demands of drag, but hey, at least we'll always have this time-lapse of Davidson getting all made up. Watch the full skit above, then check out the clip below.
