Publisher's summary

Audie Award Nominee, Narration by the Author or Authors, 2013

The man behind the Real Housewives writes about his lifelong love affair with pop culture that brought him from the suburbs of St. Louis to his own television show.

From a young age, Andy Cohen knew two things: He was gay, and he loved television. Now presiding over Bravo's reality-TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop-culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children - and to his mother, who received daily letters from him while he was at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television. The journey begins with Andy interviewing his all-time idol Susan Lucci for his college newspaper and ends with him in a job where he has a hand in creating today's celebrity icons. In the witty, no-holds-barred style of his show Watch What Happens: Live, Cohen tells tales of absurd network-news mishaps, hilarious encounters with the heroines of his youth, and the real stories behind the Real Housewives.

Dishy, funny, and full of heart, Most Talkative provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the world of television, from a fan who grew up watching the screen and is now inside the TV, both making shows and hosting his own.

Andy can do no wrong!

Any additional comments?

Where is the extra star button for all my love for this book? Andy is self-depreciating, funny, witty, insightful and adorable. Hearing it in his own voice was just classic. He is hilarious!! He picked out just enough of the right stories and highlights from his life to keep you enthralled, while keeping you laughing out loud. I loved hearing about the blunders as much as all his successes. I really feel I got a taste of what it's like to be a TV producer. Andy, if you're reading this, know that I think I love you! I honestly am kind of waiting for your next book! In the meantime, this one will be recommended to everyone I know!

A Must for Andy Cohen Fans

If you could sum up Most Talkative in three words, what would they be?

LOL terrific read

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

At a couple points in the book (one being the rare Indian moccasin story), I actually cried from laughing so hard and almost had to pull over to the side of the road!

Any additional comments?

Worth the money and then some! It's an entertaining autobiography and I enjoyed it immensely!

I just love him

Funny and it showed a guy who was proud to be who he is. A great lesson to not only young gay men but everyone. I just love him. But I already said that. Smile.

Joy
