Marge Simpson Meets a Drag Queen

“Werking Mom” (November 18, 2018)

Yes, The Simpsons did a drag episode, and you might be interested to know that the idea did not originate with “Hey, let’s do one about RuPaul’s Drag Race.” In fact, co-writer Carolyn Omine provided some background info, including how the surprising success of drag queens in the Tupperware sales market ultimately resulted in both Marg and Homer donning drag, and we say this is a great example of how latter-day Simpsons can bend with the times. Our blue duck has become a swan!
