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.

hard to say (ironic I know)

It was good!!

Of course the narration was great since Andy has so much character.

Most of it was about his time working at CBS.

There was a lot of funny stories. I thought he would reveal a lot more behind the scenes of housewives. This was more about his personal career

So fun!

Would you listen to Most Talkative again? Why?

I already have! He reads his own story and you feel like you are right there in the club house just hanging with Andy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Most Talkative?

When Andy comes out to his college room mate it brought me to tears. Andy tells it all with his wide eyed fear, just wanting to still be loved by his family and friends.

Any additional comments?

Just adorable, not to mention hilarious! Andy is wonderfully frank without being too "heavy". Really enjoyable.

Love you, Andy Cohen...

Just an enjoyable, no-mind, easy listening audio delivered superbly by Andy. Loved it Admittedly, the first quarter was a bit more than I cared to hear about his early gay identity stories, but it gets better as he talks about his experiences with the people we all know; I.e., the housewives. Enjoyed this, Andy. Can’t wait to hear more.

Really enjoyed the book!

Had fun listening to this book! Sorry when it ended!
Had many laugh out loud moments! Made me want to listen to one of his other books!
