RuPaul is set to appear on another judging panel, this time for CBS's brand new global talent competition show, The World's Best.

The RuPaul's Drag Race creator will judge the series, which showcases “every genre imaginable, from every corner of the planet,” alongside James Corden, Drew Barrymore and Faith Hill.

“It’s only fitting that The World’s Best perform in front of the world’s best,” said Sharon Vuong from CBS.

She continued: “James, Drew, Faith and RuPaul are all amazing talents who have excelled in their respective fields on a global scale. We can’t wait for them to bring their distinct voices to a show that’s unlike any other.”

Contestants on the show will have do more than just impress the four superstar judges, they'll also have to win over a massive 50-person panel consisting of the world’s “most accomplished experts from every field of entertainment.”

RuPaul has been busy, developing a new daytime talk show while also shooting two upcoming seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race.
