Bianca Del Rio, who won Drag Race season six back in 2014, will be bringing her quick-witted humor to The Pit Stop once again.
Del Rio is taking over hosting duties from All Stars 4 winner Monet X Change who hosted season 17 and All Stars 10.
I’m excited to be back hosting The Pit Stop and giving everyone my sweet, kind and thoughtful critiques,” Bianca joked in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
“No one will be safe … not even Michelle Visage!” she joked.
This will be the third time Bianca has hosted the recap show. She hosted the program for season 15 and All Stars season eight. Other notable queens who have served as host include Bob the Drag Queen, Alaska and Trixie Mattel.
The Pit Stop first aired in 2016. It began as a weekly YouTube review of season eight, hosted by YouTube personality Kingsley. The show is coming up on its 10 year anniversary.
Bianca Del Rio rose to stardom after appearing on Drag Race season 6 where she stole the crown and the fandom’s hearts. Since her time in the franchise, she has gone on to star in multiple movies and series like Hurricane Bianca (2016), AJ and the Queen (2020) and Drag Me to Dinner (2023).
Episodes of The Pit Stop will be released via the RuPaul’s Drag Race YouTube channel after the new episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 18. The queens set to join Bianca have yet to be announced.
RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18 premieres on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV
