Andy Cohen teased the 14th season of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” which will see the iconic franchise rebooted with a whole new cast.
During the June 19 episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” the host spoke with his guests, “Las Culturistas” co-hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, about the upcoming RHONY. “I’m really excited for you both to see the new RHONY,” Cohen spilled. “I know that it’s upsetting because our gals, you know it’s a whole new thing but I’ve gotta tell you the ‘Watch What Happens Live’ staff has now seen the first five or six episodes and they are beyond. And they have such good taste.”
Rogers asked Cohen if he could compare the tone of the RHONY reboot to another Housewives franchise and if so, which one, and Cohen, with a brief consultation with the WWHL control room, replied, “Maybe Miami!”
Cohen also took the opportunity to tease the upcoming show “Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake,” which is about RHONY legends Sonja Morgan and Luann de Lesseps. “And also I just wanna shout out ‘Crappie Lake’ with Sonja and Luann,” Cohen told his guests. “You guys, you’re not ready. You actually are not ready.”
