Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will appear on Canada’s Drag Race spin-off Canada vs. the World and make herstory in the process.
The politician will be stopping by the workroom, but it’s not yet clear if he is a special guest or if he might even be a guest judge on the upcoming episode.
The trailer for the new series shows Trudeau on set beside Toronto drag queen and host Brooke Lynn Hytes during the segment where the queens get pep talks ahead of their main challenge.
Understandably the queens are caught off guard when he walks on in, but fans will be waiting to see just what words of advice he passes on.
This appearance is a first for the franchise, with Trudeau the first world leader to appear on any Drag Race series.
However in the United States, politicians Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have guest judged before.

Canada vs. the World follows the success of this year’s UK vs. the World.
It will feature nine international queens who are each representing their home country as they battle it out for the crown.
The cast includes Drag Race UK’s Vanity Milan and Victoria Scone, who both appeared in the third season of Drag Race UK.

While Vanity came fourth, Victoria had to withdraw from the show on the third episode after partially tearing her anterior cruciate ligament during a lip sync.

In addition to Trudeau’s appearance, Anjulie, Gary Janetti, Hollywood Jade, Jeanne Beker, Joe Zee, Monét X Change, Priyanka and Sarain Fox will be guest judges.
For those also keeping up with the current season of Drag Race UK, the last episode saw Michelle Visage take the reins from RuPaul, while Dakota Schiffer’s time on the show came to an end.
The next episode will air on Thursday at 9pm on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. the World starts on November 18 on WOW Presents Plus worldwide.
