Heavy/Getty Andy Cohen names Khloe Kardashian as a fit on "Real Housewives."

Andy Cohen would totally add a Kardashian to the “Real Housewives” franchise. And, if he could choose, it would be Khloe Kardashian.

“She’s funny. I just lead with the humor. I think she’s the funniest of all of them,” Cohen told E! News.

Generally speaking, there have only been a handful of already-famous people to join the popular Bravo franchises. Lisa Rinna, for example, was a well-known actress long before she joined the Beverly Hills cast. The same goes for her longtime pal, Eileen Davidson.

Andy Cohen Has Also Named Chrissy Teigen as a Top Pick

Aside from Cohen thinking that Kardashian would be a good fit on “The Real Housewives,” he has consistently mentioned Chrissy Teigen’s name whenever he’s asked about casting wishes.

“I always say Chrissy Teigen for Beverly Hills. Just because I think she’s aspirational, she’s funny, she’s kooky. And she seems, at least on Twitter, to be a little feisty, so I think all that would lend itself,” Cohen told E! News.

Back in May 2023, Cohen admitted that he gets the question a lot and that Teigen is always his top choice. Teigen was a guest on “Watch What Happens Live” at the time and Cohen asked her if she would ever consider joining the show.

“I don’t think fans of the show are necessarily good on it because we know too much and I think they come in and it seems like they’re too fan-girly,” she responded. “Also it doesn’t seem like it, but I don’t like fighting, I really don’t. I would cry a lot,” she added.

Vanessa Bryant is another name that’s been floating around for many years.


Andy Cohen Debunked a Rumor That He Wants Diana Jenkins Back on ‘Beverly Hills’

Former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Diana Jenkins deleted her Instagram account in mid-November after sharing a quote from Cohen that turned out to be “made up.”

A fan account tweeted on November 5 that during an interview at BravoCon 2023, Cohen said that he’d like Diana Jenkins back on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

“She was at the level I want to show to be at,” Cohen was quoted as saying.

Jenkins shared and responded to the quote on Instagram.

“@bravoandy much appreciated. To all of those who didn’t understand why I joined the show and what my story line was, here it is. Much love to you all,” Jenkins captioned a post.

Jenkins said that she suffered a miscarriage that left her in a “deep depression” and that she joined the show to get her mind off of the sadness she was experiencing at the time.

Cohen later said the quote was fake. “This is a made up quote folks. Never mentioned DJ once all weekend, nor was I asked,” he wrote on social media, according to Taste of Reality. After that, Jenkins deleted her account.

Jenkins was on RHOBH for just one season. She announced her departure in January 2023, just after she found out that she was pregnant. Her daughter, Elodie, was born in August 2023.
