Speaking to Entertainment Weekly last month, The Simpsons showrunner, Al Jean spoke about the episode, which sees Marge transform into a drag queen in the hopes of selling more Tupperware.
“Marge starts selling Tupperware, and her friend Julio convinces her to pose as a drag queen to make more money," Jean said of the script.

"They think she’s a guy playing a woman, which Marge kind of looks like a little."
He added: "She’s really successful and then RuPaul is playing a character like himself.”
When news of her involvement in the episode was announced, Drag Race Season 3 winner Raja shared an emotional reflection on the career-highlight role.
“I’ll never forget crying my eyes out, as rain came pouring down on the sidewalk outside the recording studio. Tears of joy,” she wrote on Instagram.
She continued: “The Simpsons was a huge part of my childhood, being asked to be on an episode was surreal and mind blowing, to say the least."
