Andy Cohen stirred up plenty of chatter during an “Ask Andy” session before a recent taping of “Watch What Happens Live.” When asked which Housewives would make his personal Mount Rushmore, he didn’t hesitate: “I’m gonna say Luann, Kandi, Kyle, [and] Teresa,” Andy told the audience.
Andy Cohen Leaves Out NeNe Leakes and Vicki Gunvalson
On the surface, the list checks out. Luann de Lesseps, Kandi Burruss, Kyle Richards, and Teresa Giudice are all icons in their own right. But once fan pages reposted the clip online, social media immediately went into overdrive. Viewers were quick to notice that Andy left off some of the franchise’s most defining faces.
Specifically, longtime fans pointed out that “The Real Housewives of Orange County” was completely ignored. “I’m not a Vicki [Gunvalson] fan, but Vicki started all of this,” one commenter argued. “She has to be up there!” Others echoed the sentiment, saying that leaving the OG of the OC off his Mount Rushmore was basically Housewives heresy.
Atlanta fans were equally unimpressed. Memes, GIFs, and throwback clips of NeNe Leakes flooded the comment sections after Andy’s picks went viral. “NeNe carried Atlanta on her back, and he just forgets her?!” one fan wrote.
When pressed further, Andy gave Luann a little extra shine, calling her his spirit animal. “We get it. Luann does what Luann wants, and it’s almost always entertaining,” one fan quipped in response.
Meanwhile, Kyle Richards’ spot sparked confusion. “I do not understand the spell that Kyle has over Bravo execs,” another follower wrote, with dozens of likes pouring in.
