“I am not the special guest judge,” he told Parade. “I am sitting next to Ru, and Hunter Schafer is the special guest judge this episode.”

The judges seat to Ru‘s left is famously where the third judge sits, which is typically occupied by Ross Matthews, Carson Kressley or TS Madison.

But now, Law teases that he has joined the rotating seat.

“I don’t know what I can say. But I mean, we all know what that third seat represents.,” he teased.

Law also shared what it was like for the drag queens to see him on the panel.

“I think that it was also kind of shocking for the queens to come out and see me in that third seat,” he said. “It felt good to sit next to Mama Ru.”
