In mid-2008, RuPaul began producing ''[[RuPaul's Drag Race]]'', a reality television game show which aired on [[Logo (TV channel)|Logo]] in February 2009. On the program drag queens compete to be selected by RuPaul and a panel of judges as "America's next drag superstar". The first season's winner was [[BeBe Zahara Benet]], and first runner-up [[Nina Flowers]] was chosen by fans as "Miss Congeniality" through voting via the show's official website. To publicize the new show, RuPaul appeared on several other shows in 2008, including ''[[Project Runway]]'', as guest judge, and on ''[[Paula's Party]]'' as a guest "chef".<ref>{{cite web |title=Project Runway Season 5 Good Queen Fun &#124; Bravo TV Official Site |url=http://www.bravotv.com/project-runway/season-5/good-queen-fun |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090208091237/http://www.bravotv.com/project-runway/season-5/good-queen-fun |archive-date=February 8, 2009 |access-date=December 3, 2013 |publisher=[[Bravo (American TV network)|Bravo TV]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Diva Party : Paula's Party |url=http://www.foodnetwork.com/paulas-party/diva-party/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207232821/http://www.foodnetwork.com/paulas-party/diva-party/index.html |archive-date=December 7, 2013 |access-date=December 3, 2013 |website=[[Food Network]]}}</ref>
