Alaska is opening up about RuPaul’s Drag Race.
The 40-year-old Race Chaser podcast co-host and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 2 winner, who originally appeared on Season 5, made an appearance on The Kelly Mantle Show and got candid about the chances of her returning for an All Winners season, and why she thinks she hasn’t been asked back.

“I think it comes back to the fact that I have a podcast with Willam, because Willam is sort of very not, very on the outs with [production company] World of Wonder,” she continued, referring to her Race Chaser co-host and Season 4 contestant, who memorably became the first person to be disqualified and kicked out of the series due to breaking the rules of the show.
“When we decided we wanted to do a podcast together, Thairin [Smothers, World of Wonder co-executive producer] was like ‘we’re really disappointed that you’re doing a podcast,’” Alaska went on.
“He didn’t say that to me, he said that to someone here…someone on my team. And I never really put two and two together until it was like, ghosted, and the door was closed. Now it’s like a joke. The door is fully closed, but I would love to go back.” Watch her explain above.
