Hot on the heels of 12 nominations for the 2018 Emmy Awards, it looks like the world really can't get enough of RuPaul. So much that, it now seems like the drag icon has scored his own talk show.

According to a report by Variety, RuPaul is filming a talk show pilot with World of Wonder Productions and Telepictures, which also produces Ellen. The new talk show will reportedly launch in 2019 and will feature RuPaul bringing his unique, positive and aspirational point of view to the format, while interviewing celebrities, dishing it out on pop culture, playing games and handing out his famous beauty and glam tips.

It also looks like longtime collaborator Michelle Visage will also be joining along for the ride. Considering the pair already have a podcast, it's only expected this would be the next step. There's no denying the two can talk their faces off.

Technically this wouldn't be the first time for the Drag Race host. Some of you might be familiar with The RuPaul Show back in the 90s. Depending on who you ask, that show was definitely ahead of its time. Considering the success that Drag Race has seen of late, the timing is perfect for the Mother of Drag to take on a daytime talk show.

RuPaul also has several other TV projects currently in the works, including a comedy series titled AJ and the Queen for Netflix which will not only see him star but will also write and executive produce alongside Michael Patrick King. While Hulu is developing a series based on his life with J.J. Abrams serving as executive producer. Oh and of course let's not forget Drag Race is returning for season 11.

It's safe to say we'll be seeing quite a bit of RuPaul for some time to come. ConDRAGulations Gurl!
