Miss Piggy wants to be a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, following RuPaul's guest appearance on her show, Muppets Now. She has established that she knows style and glamour and can therefore judge Drag Race accurately. It seems that the world agrees on that, given the positive response to RuPaul and Miss Piggy's beautiful friendship.
She is an icon. Miss Piggy has spent several years explaining why she will karate-chop anyone who makes bacon jokes. She will attack Kermit if he lets his eyes wander to another lady or pig. Her latest feature film debut was Muppet's Most Wanted, where a notorious criminal impersonates Kermit and romances her. Other on-screen romances include Tim Curry as a pirate in Muppet Treasure Island. That was a romance that many fans appreciated.
Miss Piggy recorded a YouTube interview with The A.V. Club, explaining her desires and how she became a fashion icon. After a little preening about her looks, Piggy mentions that she wants to give her fans glamour, which is what she's doing on her current show. As an influencer, she's also started a glove sponsorship. In addition, she says that she gave RuPaul his first wig and enjoyed it when he appeared on her show Muppets Now. They apparently have a good professional relationship and it will be fun to see her eschew the typical karate-chopping of contestants. She ended the interview with an accurate impression of Fozzie Bear.
While other characters, such as the Sesame Street cast, are targeted at children, the Muppet Show cast has always been about hanging with the adults. They've talked about serious issues, such as whether William Shakespeare was really Francis Bacon. Piggy found it in poor taste when the other Muppets and Florence Henderson discussed how hard shorter people have it in this world. It's no surprise that Miss Piggy wants to do more than show off her martial arts prowess.
It will be quite a fun ride to see if Miss Piggy appears as a RuPaul's Drag Race judge. RuPaul doesn't have a reason to refuse her once the pandemic settles down and everyone can mingle safely. She has also done so on Project Runway, much to the competitors' delight. Many people of a certain age have ample nostalgia for the Muppets, as they brought joy with their slapstick comedy. Look for this exquisite diva on RuPaul's Drag Race... with any luck, she'll soon be judging contestants.
