The victory reaffirmed the show’s reputation in a fiercely competitive landscape, where it triumphed over established shows including ‘Dancing with the Stars’, ‘Top Chef’, and the previous fan-favourite, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’.

Expressing gratitude for the recognition, Cumming noted the dedication of the entire production team during his acceptance speech, stating, “I speak on behalf of all our producers who are running for the stage as though they’re on a mission. Let them know what it feels like!” His passion for the show has evidently contributed to its growing acclaim.

Cumming was also awarded his third consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program this year. His engaging hosting style has undoubtedly played a significant role in the show’s appeal, drawing viewers back for another season of high-stakes drama.
