The episode will feature previously announced guest stars stepping back into their roles from the original Frasier including Dan Butler as Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe, Edward Hibbert as Gil Chesterton and Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier’s delightfully devilish agent, Bebe Glazer.

Produced by CBS Studios, FRASIER films in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.

Twelve fan favorites from around the world will each represent their countries as they compete for the title of “Queen of the Mothertucking World,” a grand prize of $200,000, and a spot in the international pavilion at the Drag Race Hall of Fame.
RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE GLOBAL ALL STARS features RuPaul’s Drag Race host RuPaul Charles leading the panel of judges, alongside resident judge Michelle Visage and choreographer Jamal Sims, as well as rotating stars from across the international franchise.

Plus, the international mix of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent will, pardon my French, blow your f***ing minds.”
In celebration of the new global version of the iconic franchise, MTV, home of the flagship series, and World of Wonder have partnered with All Out – an international organization that fights for LGBTQ+ rights around the world – making a $100,000 donation to start the new fund. To find out more and make a donation, look for the “Drag Saves the World'' QR code at the end of every episode.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE GLOBAL ALL STARS on the 'Drag Saves the World’ fund,” said Matt Beard, Executive Director of All Out. "This partnership is not only a celebration of drag culture; it's also a powerful statement of love, solidarity and support for LGBTQ+ people around the world who are facing violence and bigotry. The funds raised will directly transform and protect lives, supporting safe houses, evacuation, emergency support and more to those bravely defending human rights in the most challenging environments. Together, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of who they are or who they love, can live with dignity, safety, and pride."
