UNHhhh is an American comedy web series starring drag queens Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova. In the series, Trixie and Katya discuss a topic humorously in front of a green screen. UNHhhh premiered on March 25, 2016,[1] one year after Mattel and Zamolodchikova appeared in the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race. The show is aired through World Of Wonder's YouTube channel, as well as through its video-on-demand service WOW Presents Plus. UNHhhh has been nominated for ten Streamy Awards throughout its run, winning Unscripted Series at the 2020 ceremony, which the duo also hosted.

Production

[edit]

The show began in March 2016, and aired 65 episodes before World of Wonder announced the conclusion to the show and the premiere of The Trixie & Katya Show, a television spin-off on Viceland.[2] The Trixie & Katya Show was canceled after one season and the series returned to YouTube for its third season in October 2018.[3][4] Beginning with season three, new episodes would premiere on WOW Presents Plus uncensored the week before being released on YouTube. A fourth season aired from January 16 to September 12, 2019, with a special Christmas episode on December 11, 2019.

On September 20, 2019, Trixie Mattel uploaded a video on her personal Twitter account revealing that the series would return for a fifth season,[5] which premiered on January 22, 2020.[6] The series then went into a brief hiatus from March to August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Trixie and Katya Save the World airing as a replacement series during this time.[7] On July 22, World of Wonder released a teaser on their YouTube page saying that UNHhhh would be returning on August 5 with new episodes filmed during the pandemic and some that were filmed before but not edited.[7][8][9] To accommodate social distancing guidelines, Trixie and Katya were seated at a distance and filmed with multiple cameras, being edited to look closer together in the final cut.[7][10] The season concluded on December 30, 2020 with the hosts confirming a sixth season would be produced which premiered on WOWPresents+ on April 21, 2021. Starting with season six, episodes were released on WOW Presents Plus one month before their YouTube debut. Season seven premiered on April 20, 2022, and was followed by season 8, which premiered on YouTube on April 19, 2023.

In the last episode of season 8, it was stated in the episodes description "UNHhhh yea... that's a wrap on season 8. While Trixie and Katya take a hiatus, relish in these random moments from the most recent topics. Stay subscribed and we'll see you again in 2024."[11]. Despite this, season 9 was not released in 2024.

On May 12, 2025, a copyright registration was filed by the producing company of the series.[12] The filing of the copyright does not guarantee that UNHhhh season 9 will ever be released, and if released it may not be with the same format, nor featuring Trixie and Katya as in past seasons.[13] In September 2025, Katya confirmed that there are no plans to make any further episodes as the duo wished to focus on other projects together.[14] Katya confirmed it on Eric Sedeno's podcast.[15][16]

Format

[edit]

The episodes span around 10–20 minutes in length on average and are produced in front of a green screen. Each episode covers one topic such as Beauty Tips or Colors, and features Trixie and Katya's brand of dark adult humor. The two drag queens often go on tangents in each episode, playing jokes off of one another. The use of the green screen results in edit-heavy episodes that add to the humor, with many moments or sound bites becoming memes and often quoted by fans. Each episode begins with the queens giving humorous intros, a trend started by Trixie Mattel in the second episode with "I'm market woman of the Serengeti, Trixie Mattel." The web series is heavily self-reflexive, with gags often repeating or being repeated on sister productions for Trixie and Katya, such as their podcast The Bald and the Beautiful.

Spin-offs

[edit]

Trixie and Katya Save the World

[edit]

Trixie and Katya Save the World was created as a replacement for UNHhhh, which was on hiatus due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Filmed in the duo's homes over videochat, the show features the queens answering questions and attempting to solve the audience member's problems, in a vein similar to the "Asking For a Friend" bit from their Viceland series.[19][20] The series premiered on March 30, 2020, exclusively on WOW Presents Plus, although the eighth episode was also released on YouTube.[21]

Reception

[edit]

Vice's Rachel Miller stated, "Trixie and Katya's show is actually my favorite part of all of this [RuPaul's Drag Race related fandom], and it totally stands alone; I'd recommend getting into it even if you don't watch Drag Race proper."[22] The show was positively reviewed by Rachel Paulson of The Queer Creative podcast.[23]

On October 6, 2020 the duo premiered a new podcast called The Bald and the Beautiful. The show "feature[s] a pair of grizzled gay ghouls exploring the culture boundaries of modern beauty through interviews with gorgeous guests who inhabit various facets of the beauty industry."[25]

Starting with episode 35, episodes were additionally released as video podcasts on the official Trixie & Katya YouTube channel.[26] On October 26, 2021, the duo announced that the podcast would go on an extended hiatus. However, they returned the next week, confirming that they planned to finish out the year and later continued the podcast into 2022.

The show won the 2021 Canadian Podcast Awards for Outstanding Foreign Series Queerty Award for Best Podcast (and was the runner-up the following year) and the 2022 Webby Award for Best Podcast Ad.

is an American comedy web series hosted by drag performers Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova, both alumni of the seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race, in which the duo engages in unscripted discussions on diverse topics ranging from personal anecdotes to cultural observations, delivered with irreverent humor and profanity. Launched in 2016 by WOW Presents, the series initially aired episodes on YouTube, accumulating millions of views per installment due to the hosts' chemistry and candid style, which resonated within the drag and LGBTQ+ communities while attracting broader audiences through viral clips. Spanning eight seasons with over 200 episodes, UNHhhh evolved to include a podcast adaptation on platforms like Spotify, allowing audio-only consumption of the hosts' banter on subjects such as fame, drugs, and relationships. The show's defining characteristics include its low-production green-screen format and the performers' willingness to explore taboo or absurd themes without restraint, contributing to their individual careers in touring, television, and merchandise. In September 2025, Katya Zamolodchikova announced the series' conclusion, citing production challenges, marking the end of a format that had become a staple in online drag entertainment.

Production and Development

Origins and Creation

UNHhhh originated from the comedic chemistry between Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova, both contestants on season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race, which aired from March 2 to June 1, 2015. The duo first met on the set of that season, where their interactions, though not prominently featured in the edited episodes, laid the groundwork for their collaborative work. World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race, recognized their potential and developed UNHhhh as a web series to showcase their banter. The series was created specifically to feature Trixie and Katya discussing random topics in a humorous, unscripted format against a green screen backdrop, emphasizing their improvisational style. Production began shortly after their Drag Race appearances, with early collaborative content like "Besties for Cash" in late 2015 serving as precursors that highlighted their dynamic. UNHhhh premiered on the WOWPresents YouTube channel on March 25, 2016, with the inaugural episode focusing on their initial impressions of each other from the Drag Race set. World of Wonder handled all aspects of creation, including filming, editing, and distribution, leveraging their expertise in drag-related content to produce short episodes typically running 4 to . The low-budget, rapid-production model allowed for quick turnaround, aligning with the hosts' strengths in spontaneous humor rather than polished scripting. This approach stemmed from a deliberate choice to prioritize authentic interaction over conventional television structures, capitalizing on the post-Drag Race popularity of its alumni.

Production Challenges and Evolution

The improvisational format of UNHhhh, which relied on unscripted discussions without predefined direction, presented ongoing production challenges, as the hosts were required to generate content spontaneously in a studio setting. described the process as exhausting, noting that episodes could turn "horrible" if either host was not in the right mindset, such as feeling unattractive due to suboptimal outfits or hair, which undermined the raw energy essential to the show's appeal. This lack of structure, while enabling the series' signature chaotic humor, made consistent output difficult over time, contributing to its eventual conclusion after 229 episodes across eight seasons. The exacerbated these issues, halting in-person filming and prompting a production hiatus for season 5. To maintain fan engagement from May to August 2020, the hosts pivoted to a remote spin-off, Trixie and Katya Save the World, filmed via Zoom, though Zamolodchikova expressed dissatisfaction with the format's lack of real-time interaction and energy compared to studio sessions. Episodes resumed on August 5, 2020, incorporating a mix of pre-pandemic footage and new material shot with protocols, including hosts seated without physical contact. Over its run, UNHhhh evolved from a free YouTube series launched in 2016 to a subscription-based model on , offering uncensored and extended versions of episodes starting with season 6 on April 21, 2021. This shift allowed for broader distribution and additional revenue but aligned with the hosts' growing commitments to tours and other projects, straining scheduling. Production ultimately ceased without a ninth season, with Zamolodchikova confirming in September 2025 that the improv demands had become unsustainable.

Format and Content

Episode Structure and Style

Episodes of UNHhhh adhere to a minimalist format, consisting primarily of unscripted dialogue between hosts and seated before a green screen that displays simple, often topic-related backgrounds or graphics. Each installment centers on a single predefined theme—ranging from everyday subjects like "" or "Childhood" to more esoteric ones such as "" or ""—with the title explicitly naming the focus to set expectations for the conversation. The structure lacks formal segments, opening directly into discussion without scripted intros or commercial breaks, and concluding abruptly after approximately 10 to of runtime, emphasizing brevity suited to viewing. Conversations typically begin with broad observations on the topic before veering into personal stories, hypothetical scenarios, or absurd tangents, reflecting the hosts' improvisational approach rather than rigid adherence to the theme. Humorous editing overlays, including text pops, sound effects, and visual gags, punctuate the talk to amplify comedic beats without interrupting the flow. Stylistically, the series employs a raw, conversational tone marked by explicit language, self-deprecating , and irreverent commentary, drawing from the hosts' drag personas to blend high-camp exaggeration with candid revelations. This unpolished aesthetic, produced in a single-take style by World of Wonder, prioritizes authentic interplay over polished production values, fostering a sense of unfiltered camaraderie that often eclipses the ostensible subject matter. The absence of guests or external segments reinforces the dyadic focus, allowing the duo's banter—frequently derailed by interruptions or escalating absurdity—to drive the episode's energy.

Themes and Humor

UNHhhh episodes center on a designated theme per installment, encompassing diverse subjects from everyday concerns like "Beauty Tips" or "Colors" to more provocative or introspective ones such as "Drugs," "," "," or "Kids and Parenthood." These topics serve as loose frameworks for unstructured discussions, often veering into personal experiences, drag culture observations, pop culture commentary, and hypothetical scenarios, allowing the hosts to explore through a lens of exaggeration and irreverence. The format eschews scripted depth in favor of conversational tangents, reflecting the hosts' backgrounds in competitive drag performance where spontaneity highlights interpersonal dynamics over topical resolution. The series' humor derives from a blend of dark adult and , marked by explicit language, sexual innuendos, and self-deprecating anecdotes delivered in a rapid-fire, improvisational style. Trixie Mattel's contributions often feature dry, witty shade and ridiculous hyperbole, while employs bizarre, stream-of-consciousness storytelling punctuated by her distinctive laugh, creating a symbiotic escalation where each host amplifies the other's punchlines. This approach yields "wholesome yet filthy" exchanges that avoid targeted , instead thriving on mutual and non-sequiturs, as seen in episodes like "Hollywood" or "The 90s," where inside jokes and unfiltered reactions prioritize over coherence. Critics note the duo's ability to cover 's spectrum—from crude vulgarity to surreal whimsy—without relying on offense for effect, distinguishing it from more performative drag humor by emphasizing genuine, unpolished rapport.

Hosts and Chemistry

Firkus adopted the persona of , drawing from a doll aesthetic characterized by exaggerated feminine features, high-pitched voice, and campy presentation, which he developed during his early drag performances in . He first gained national attention as a contestant on season 7 of in 2015, where he placed sixth, showcasing his comedic timing and doll-like drag style through challenges like lip-syncs and variety performances. Mattel co-hosts UNHhhh, a comedy produced by World of Wonder that premiered on March 25, 2016, alongside fellow Drag Race season 7 alum . The series features the duo engaging in loosely structured, tangent-filled discussions on everyday topics, with Mattel often initiating segments by sharing personal anecdotes or reacting to Zamolodchikova's improvisations, contributing to the show's unscripted, stream-of-consciousness format. Her contributions emphasize layered, observational humor rooted in drag culture, , and , frequently incorporating her signature persona to amplify absurd or mundane scenarios, such as critiquing drag etiquette or reflecting on pre-fame jobs. Mattel's role evolved with the series' success, including spin-offs like on in 2017 and live touring productions, where her precise comedic delivery and visual gags—often involving props or exaggerated facial expressions—complement Zamolodchikova's chaotic energy. Following her win on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3 on July 12, 2018, which awarded her $100,000 and a donation, Mattel leveraged the visibility to expand UNHhhh's reach, maintaining a consistent presence through over 200 episodes by 2023. Her background in music and stand-up, including country parodies and tours, informs the show's musical interludes and satirical takes, grounding the humor in authentic drag performer experiences rather than scripted sketches.

Katya Zamolodchikova

Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova, known mononymously as , is the drag persona of Brian Joseph McCook, born May 1, 1982, in , . McCook, who grew up in , and graduated from Marlborough High School in 2001, briefly attended before transferring to the to study musical theater. There, in the mid-2000s, he developed the character, portraying a chaotic, bisexual Russian immigrant with an exaggerated Eastern European accent, wiry physique evoking a gymnast, and a penchant for surreal, drug-fueled anecdotes. After relocating to in 2009 to pursue drag professionally, Katya built a local following through performances blending , , and elements. Katya gained national recognition competing on the seventh season of , which aired in 2015, where she placed fifth overall and earned the Miss Congeniality award for her confessional humor and runway presentations. She returned for the second season of in 2016, advancing to the finale as runner-up, further solidifying her reputation for unhinged lip-syncs and confessional segments that highlighted personal struggles with addiction and . These experiences honed her improvisational style, emphasizing vulnerability masked in absurdity, which distinguishes her from more polished drag competitors. As co-host of UNHhhh, premiering March 25, 2016, on the World of Wonder YouTube channel, Katya embodies the show's ethos of unstructured, profane banter on topics ranging from pop culture to personal vices. Her contributions include rapid-fire digressions into fictionalized backstories—often involving Soviet-era hardships or hallucinatory escapades—that inject unpredictability into discussions, contrasting Trixie Mattel's more calculated, doll-like persona. This interplay, with Katya's frenetic energy driving tangential riffs while Mattel reins in or amplifies them, accounts for the series' viral episodes, amassing over 200 by 2023. Katya's candor about recovery from substance abuse, referenced in episodes like "Drugs" (October 9, 2017), adds raw authenticity, though she paused drag activities in late 2017 for sobriety and bipolar disorder treatment before resuming hosting duties.

On-Screen Dynamic

The on-screen dynamic between hosts and relies on contrasting comedic styles that generate spontaneous banter and escalating absurdity, central to the series' humor. Trixie often adopts a sarcastic, reactive role, delivering biting commentary and eye-rolls in response to Katya's unscripted, stream-of-consciousness digressions into personal anecdotes or surreal observations, creating a classic straight-man-to-wildcard interplay. Katya's willingness to share explicit, self-deprecating stories—frequently involving her history of addiction or eccentric behaviors—prompts Trixie's interruptions or feigned horror, amplifying the conversational chaos while highlighting their mutual comfort in vulnerability. This push-pull avoids cruelty, rooted in their genuine off-screen friendship forged during RuPaul's Drag Race season 7 in 2015, allowing for authentic teasing that fans describe as supportive and endearing. The unstructured format exacerbates this chemistry, with episodes deviating from topics into tangents driven by Katya's tangents and Trixie's attempts to reel them back, enhanced by rapid editing that underscores punchlines and reactions. Reviewers note this as "magical" and "witty," distinguishing UNHhhh from more scripted drag content through its raw, post-verbal energy. Early seasons (2016–2017) featured more unhinged, low-fi interactions reflective of their initial serendipitous pairing from a Fashion Photo RuView episode, evolving slightly toward polish in later outings without diluting the core spontaneity. This enduring rapport has sustained viewer engagement across over 200 episodes, positioning the duo as a benchmark for drag partnerships.

Criticisms and Controversies

Declines in Quality and Originality

Some fans and observers have noted a perceived decline in UNHhhh's unscripted chaos and originality in later seasons, contrasting the raw, unpredictable energy of early episodes (such as those from 2016–2018) with more polished, formulaic discussions by seasons 6–8 (2021–2023). This shift was attributed to the hosts' expanding commitments, including (2019–2020) and their joint podcast, which led to repeated anecdotes across platforms and diminished the ' spontaneity. With over 200 episodes produced by mid-2023, the reliance on green-screen effects, rapid editing, and topic-based riffs risked exhaustion of fresh material, as early broad themes like or "Childhood" gave way to niche subjects that some viewed as less impactful or innovative.

Feminist analyses of drag, applicable to UNHhhh's exaggerated portrayals of , have argued that such performances reinforce misogynistic stereotypes by caricaturing women in hyperbolic, often sexualized ways, potentially undermining genuine female experiences rather than subverting . Similarly, critiques of in drag media, including spin-offs like UNHhhh, contend that the format assimilates expression into consumerist, apolitical entertainment, sidelining radical activism for mainstream appeal and excluding non-conforming performers, such as individuals who face barriers in traditional drag. From conservative viewpoints, drag series like UNHhhh exemplify moral decay by mocking traditional roles and promoting hedonistic lifestyles through candid discussions of , , and identity fluidity; Christian influencers, for instance, have decried drag queens as distorting womanhood into , eroding and contributing to cultural confusion over and morality. The hosts' self-described approach of satirizing —explicitly stating they mock solemn takes on and selfhood to deflate pretension—has provoked backlash from identity-focused advocates who see it as trivializing lived struggles, though and Zamolodchikova maintain comedy requires detachment from sacred cows. These tensions highlight UNHhhh's position in ongoing debates over humor's boundaries in polarized cultural discourse.

Production and Personal Strains

The decision stemmed from her need to address amid ongoing struggles, which she described as requiring immediate intervention to prevent further . Mattel publicly expressed support, emphasizing their friendship's resilience despite the interruptions, though the episode strained scheduling for UNHhhh and spin-offs. Production difficulties compounded these personal issues, with the low-budget, rapid-turnaround format proving unsustainable long-term. Zamolodchikova confirmed in September 2025 that UNHhhh would not return, citing the intense demands of scripting, filming, and editing episodes—often under tight deadlines for WOWPresents—as a key factor, stating the show "was really hard to do." Episodes occasionally addressed these strains directly, such as the May 17, 2023, installment on "Problems," where the hosts candidly discussed coping with real-life hardships like and without resolution strategies.
