TBS Crowns 'American Dad's Roger as Drag Icon
Celebrating the series’ 350th episode and drag herstory.
Amidst global backlash against trans individuals and drag queens, TBS and LGBTQIA+ non-profit organization, the Trevor Project, partner for a campaign.
In celebration of American Dad‘s 350th episode, its chaotic character, Roger the alien, is honored as a drag icon. In order to give her her flowers and “celebrate drag herstory,” TBS taps drag queens Trinity the Tuck and Trixie Mattel.
To mark the 350th episode of American Dad, Roger is finally being honored as a drag icon! Help us celebrate drag herstory by raising money for the @TrevorProject. For every quote-tweet this video gets using #AmericanDrag, @TBSNetwork will donate $1 to @TrevorProject (up to $20k). pic.twitter.com/u78l6den2n

For every quote tweet with the hashtag #AmericanDrag, American Dad’s home network TBS will donate $1 USD to the Trevor Project. In total, the network will donate up to $20,000 USD. To participate, make sure to engage with the post before May 12.
If this sounds shocking — you’re probably new to this. Last year, TBS supported Lil Nas X’s dream to f-ck Roger the Alien — a matchmade in chaotic heaven.
