sashayed away from the hit game show — and now RuPaul wants to snatch his gig.While filling in as a guest host on the late-night “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” this week, the towering (6-foot-4) creator of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” threw his hat — make that tiara — into the ring as a possible replacement for Richards.
In a segment he called “Gayer News,” the popular drag star addressed the host-chair roulette taking place yet again after producer Mike Richards was announced as the new “Jeopardy!” host, only to step down in the wake of prior “insensitivity” and allegations of using sexist language.“Sources say the show is now looking for someone with poise, authority and natural intelligence,” the 60-year-old RuPaul said.
