just finished...

I freely admit that my TV is usually tuned to Bravo. Reading Andy Cohen's book is an extension of my love of all things Bravo. Andy Cohen is the producer and mastermind behind Top Chef and the Housewives franchise. He also hosts a nightly talk show called Watch What Happens Live where he dishes with celebs about pop culture.

His memoir begins in his childhood, where he regales us with stories of his inquisitive nature. We are almost the same age so his references are my references, too. And listening to him read his book was like having a pajama party.

The book spans his college years, when he first interviewed Susan Lucci, his idol, and then moves into an internship position with CBS, then transitions to his working as a producer for the network's morning show, and finally his work with Bravo. He doesn't talk about the Housewives until the end of the book.

I want to be friends with Andy Cohen. And his zany cast of family and friends.
