00:00Tell me about everything.
00:02This is an ensemble by Teddy Von Ransom.
00:05And you know, it's a little nod to the Traitors, a little nod to Scotland.
00:10Tell me about the pin.
00:12I got them to put little medals, so I said let's have a trans flag on one of them.
00:17As a little shout out to our trans brothers and sisters who are being so abused nowadays.
00:24So yeah, I'm showing them some love.
00:26So let's talk about, what do they call it, an upset.
00:30You beat long running winner RuPaul.
00:36Did you ever think one day you and RuPaul would be in the same category for an Emmy, for a hosting, and that you'd win?
00:46No.
00:47But like many men I've dreamed of topping RuPaul, and it finally happened.
00:54You asked for that.
00:56Really? Did you rehearse that?
00:59Have you said that already?
01:02It's in the news.
01:04I got the exclusive.
01:06Alan Cumming loves topping RuPaul.
01:09I dreamt about it and it happened in real life.
01:12I never thought it would happen, but it did.
01:14What do you say to RuPaul when something like that happens?
01:17I don't know, I've not seen him.
01:19I'm actually really nervous to see him.
01:21What do you say?
01:22Sorry, I think I'm sitting near him.
01:24Someone said I was sitting behind him.
01:26That's mean.
01:28That's really mean.
01:30I'm slightly anxious.
01:32I don't know, I'm so full of admiration for him and all he's done.
01:35I think he's a genius.
01:37At least we keep it in the queer family.
01:41That's what's amazing.
01:43Did you ever think, when you look at nominees this year, queer characters, queer, openly queer actors,
01:51did you ever think you'd see that?
01:53No, I didn't.
01:55I think it's what's really interesting in our culture right now,
01:59when there's so many laws and people who are positions of authority and politicians
02:05speaking out so hatefully against queer people.
02:08At the same time, the entertainment industry is really celebrating and lauding queer people, queer characters,
02:15and the input that queer people have always had in showbiz.
02:18It's actually a really nice thing that puts the needle back a bit across into niceness.
