RuPaul's Drag Race has had some iconic guest judges over the years, but none understand the assignment more than actress and comedian Nicole Byer. After 14 seasons,Drag Race is still gaining momentum and shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Fans are begging to make Nicole a permanent judge because of her humor, charisma, and genuine love of drag.

During most weeks, a celebrity joins RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, and Ross Matthews on the judges panel. Past legendary judges include Lady Gaga, Leslie Jones, and Elvira; however, like most guest judges, they only make one appearance on the show. Nicole, on the other hand, has not only been a guest judge on Drag Race three times but she's also been a guest judge on Drag Race All Stars twice. It's clear that RuPaul and viewers love her, so she should be given a permanent spot.

Outside of Drag Race, Nicole frequently works with alums of the show. She appeared in an episode of The Pit Stop, the official Drag Race recap show, with Trixie Mattel. She's also had a drag
