    RuPaul, 60-Year-Old host of RuPaul’s Drag Race made history with his Emmy win on Sunday.

    RuPaul scored his 11th win at the Emmy awards show Sunday after the series beat its competitors for the Outstanding Competition Program.

    The “RuPaul’s Drag Race” executive producer and host picked up his 11th Emmy at Sunday’s awards ceremony in Los Angeles, beating out other nominees including “The Amazing Race,” “The Voice,” “Top Chef” and “Nailed It!” in the Competition Series category.

    The win breaks his tie with cinematographer Donald A. Morgan, making him the most decorated Black artist since the Emmys began in 1949.

    Winning the award also made RuPaul’s Drag Race the most-awarded reality competition program in the award show’s history.

    RuPaul used his acceptance speech to thank the participants on the show, and reassure LGBTQ youth that they have a “tribe” waiting for them.

    “Wow, thank you so much to the Academy and all of you gorgeous people here tonight. All of the people at World of Wonder and Viacom-CBS who have been so wonderful, but really thanks to all of our lovely children on our show from around the world,” RuPaul began.

    “You know, they are so gracious to tell their stories of courage and how to navigate this difficult life, even more, difficult today. This is for you,” the host continued. “And for the kids out there watching – you have a tribe that is waiting for you. We are waiting for you, baby, come on to Mama Ru. Thank you so much.”

    RuPaul Charles, known professionally by the mononym RuPaul, is an American actor, drag queen, television personality, and singer/songwriter.
