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.

Love Andy!

I have so much in common with Andy! He makes me laugh and I admire his tenacity to take on his dreams while being wholeheartedly himself. He’s like a friend I’ve never actually met in person. I really enjoyed listening to this on audio. Now, onto his next book!!!

Andy

Absolutely loved the book. Perfect Andy at his best. Love him. Only problem, I could not get Chapter 6 as it was full of static. First time that ever happened. Still worth a 5 star

A great memoir of an interesting life!

Andy Cohen has gone from Production Assistant to superstar, and this book takes you on the awesome trip Andy traveled to become the go-to celebrity interviewer he is today.

Loved it!

Loved the insight into Andy Cohen’s life. There’s so much I didn’t know about his childhood and his path to Bravo today. His impressions of his mom had me LOLing while on neighborhoods walks, and at other times I wanted to cry. Great listen!

Genuine and captivating!

Surpassed my expectations as a hilarious and honest account of Andy's life and career. Made even more entertaining by hearing his own voice, you feel like you were part of his experiences. I now want to watch his show!
