Getting “Spontaneously Candid” with Eureka O’Hara, RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars and We’re Here

December 13, 2021 • McCann Worldgroup • Season 1 • Episode 5

In this episode of “Spontaneously Candid,” Harjot is joined by Eureka O’Hara – widely-regarded as one of the best-known and one of the most entertaining and successful drag queens in recent her story – for a fascinating discussion about identity, self-love, life in the spotlight and more.

Eureka competed on the 9th and 10th seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race and, most recently, was a finalist in RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 6. Eureka is also currently one of a trio of hosts of “We're Here” on HBO, where they help find and mentor small-town residents to participate in one-night only drag shows. Eureka is also an accomplished singer. Among their singles are “The Big Girl” and “Body Positivity” – which happens to also be a key issue for which this “Elephant Queen” has long championed.

Eureka’s personal and professional journey – from starting off as David Huggard born in Tennessee to a life of fame and fortune, from being born male, living as a transgender woman and then re-transitioning to identifying as genderfluid and non-binary, from Drag upstart to All-star and mentor – Eureka’s story is as compelling, layered and engrossing as it sounds.

With everything Eureka has accomplished, what has remained frustratingly outside of their grasp? What do they wish they have done differently? What would they never change? Tune in to this episode to find out.
