Andy Cohen addressed the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live after guest Matt Rogers said he really wanted to see the show back on the air.
As he also applauded the OGs of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City as “strong,” comparing them to the women of The Real Housewives of Potomac, and teased their season six reunion, Andy, 57, offered an update on RHONJ, confirming whether Teresa Giudice, 53, and Luis Ruelas‘ recent reconciliation with Joe, 51, and Melissa Gorga, 46, had any impact on production.
“Not for a minute,” Andy revealed on the December 9 episode of the WWHL: After Show, after he was told to pick cameras back up for RHONJ following the reunion of the Gorgas and Teresa.
Then, speaking of the RHOSLC cast, Andy shared what he believed made the cast so special.
“What is really nice is …. six seasons in, much like [RHOP] … there are still, you know, the OGs, you all were so strong from the start, you all just remained,” he gushed. “[And] I love that I can sense a real level of sisterhood, no matter what happens in terms of the minutia of fighting, I know that you all care about each other, which I think speaks volumes.”
Andy also spoke of the RHOSLC on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, stating that the reunion taping lasted hours longer than he anticipated.
“Last Thursday was the [RHOSLC] reunion and that was a great, great shoot … We started at 10 something and I’m gonna say at lunch, which was at 1:30, I was in the control room, kibitzing with the producers and I was like, we all like to estimate what time we think we will get out, and usually I’m very good at that. And I was like, ‘I think we’re gonna be done by 6:30 or 7.’ Yeah, we wrapped at 10, so that didn’t happen,” he admitted.
That said, a long reunion is better for the series — and its fans.
“The wrapping at 10 is good news for [RHOSLC] fans because what that means is a lot happened. There were some receipts … [and] there was some props,” he added.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
