Episode Description from the Publisher

This episode of 'Raised by Ricki' originally aired October 20, 2022. Cameras, real people, and no script. Anything could happen. Sounds like The Ricki Lake Show – and reality TV! This week, Ricki and Kalen are joined by Andy Cohen, executive producer of “The Real Housewives” and “Watch What Happens Live!” Andy talks about his lifelong love of reality TV and talk shows, the inspiration behind “The Real Housewives,” and how he first became a host. Plus, Ricki dishes on her time as the headmistress of “Charm School.” Please note, Raised By Ricki contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.  Stay up to date with us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @LemonadaMedia.  Joining Lemonada Premium is a great way to support our show and get bonus content.
