RuPaul Charles, host of the aptly named RuPaul’s Drag Race, won his first Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards Sept. 10.
Charles took home the award for outstanding host of a reality or reality competition series.
“I came here thinking I got invited to the prom and I’m going to dance my ass off tonight, but I didn’t expect that I would have this in my hand while I was dancing,” Charles told press backstage.
Charles won the award over many big name hosts such as Ryan Seacrest (American Idol), Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night), Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn (Project Runway), Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars) and Steve Harvey (Little Big Shots).
