Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova are now on TV

Drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova converted their appearances on RuPaul's Drag Race into a successful web series called UnHhhh. The YouTube hit was basically the two of them talking about anything that came to mind.

To be honest, we found it hard to watch (sorry girls!) but they had a pretty decent fan base, and stuck it out for a whopping 70 episodes.

And someone out there liked what they saw, offering the queens their very own TV series, The Trixie & Katya Show, which recently started airing on the Viceland channel. 

“As drag queens and as comic people, we listen to our own artistic compass all the time,” Trixie said. “That was our biggest concern, when Viceland was like, ‘Yes!’ we were like ‘Have you seen [UNHhhh]? Do you know what we think is funny?’ We got a resounding 1,000% supportive yes. There was no questioning. For actual famous celebrities who are real people and who are gorgeous, that never happens.”

Here's a sample of what these two get up to:

“People always say they love our show because they feel like they’re hanging out with their friends," Trixie added. "We would have never even started the YouTube series if it wasn’t for our own personal fulfillment–we’re doing it for the fun of it. If all the TVs exploded tomorrow and there was no way for anyone to actually see [The Trixie & Katya Show], we would go back to YouTube.”

In the first TV episode, Trixie and Katya explore everything from dirty-talk to flavored condoms. They also share stories, answer viewers' questions, and hit the streets to talk to real people. The first episode was recently released online ...

You can catch The Trixie & Katya Show on Wednesdays at 10pm on Viceland.
