"I moved to NYC almost 17 years ago to pursue it. Some roads take a while." After winning the eighth season of the RuPaul-led drag competition in 2016, Bob's stardom has continued to rise. He previously co-hosted HBO's We're Here in its first three seasons, and currently co-hosts the Sibling Rivalry podcast, where he and fellow Drag Race alumni Monét X Change recap the drag show and entice listeners with their dynamic friendship. Before embarking on The Traitors, Bob toured the world alongside Madonna on her Celebration Tour, and has continued to travel around the globe solo performing his own comedy tours. Wayne Brady is currently performing in the role of Dizler in Moulin Rouge! through Nov. 9, and will be preceded by Robert Petkoff on Nov. 11 until Jan. 25, just in time for Bob's arrival.
