Andy Cohen Reveals ‘Real Househusbands’ Show Was Developed

Andy Cohen and his crew at Bravo developed a collection primarily based across the group of husbands of Orange County, California, years in the past however finally determined towards shifting ahead with the present.

During an “Ask Andy” section on a November 2022 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Andy confirmed that three years after the launch of the Real Housewives of Orange County, which started airing in 2006, a collection titled The Real Husbands of Orange County was created.

“We did think of doing a househusbands show,” Andy defined to a fan, per All About the Real Housewives.

“Early on, we developed a show called The Real Husbands of Orange County, and we cast a bunch of husbands, and the truth is, guys are kinda boring — no offense. And so… we just, we were like, ‘You know what? We’re not doing this,’” he continued. “It was like three years into [RHOC].”

While Andy didn’t appear keen on going again down the route of a present primarily based round husbands, many commenters on WWHL‘s Instagram submit have been for the thought.

“Gay house husbands show would be amazing! Start in NYC! I will audition,” one wrote.

“SO CAST GAY GUYS CAUSE WE’RE MORE FUN!!!” mentioned one other. “C’MON [ANDY] NO ONE CAN THROW SHADE BETTER THAN THE GAYS!

“Y’all need a show for the gay husbands!!! That will be juciyyy!” agreed a 3rd.

Others felt that present househusbands could be extra attention-grabbing, with one particular person stating, “Andy has the right househusbands for a show now.”

“Maybe some All-Star Husbands or just the [Real Housewives of New Jersey] guys,” recommended another person.

Last month, throughout an interview with Yahoo! Finance, Andy defined what’s made the Real Housewives franchise so profitable.

“The secret sauce of ‘The Housewives’ is all in the casting,” he famous. “I think we’ve done a lot of great work — finding the right women and then figuring out how to keep the energy going and taking people out of the mix and putting people back in and putting new people in. There’s not a science to it, but [it’s] a process that we all care very much about.”

Watch What Happens Live airs on Sundays by Thursdays at 10/9c on Bravo.
