The 59-year-old’s look has since become a meme, with the image circulating around gay Twitter since the episode aired.
He was joined via Zoom by this season’s 12 queens, who filmed from their own homes amid isolation.
And the category was ‘slumber party realness’ as the queens sported pajamas and hair rollers in lieu of a full runway ensemble.
The show kicked off with a Brady Bunch parody musical number entitled The Shady Bunch, the video chat grid styled like the iconic theme song reel.
