Welcome to Housewives Tonight! where we celebrate reality TV with pride! Join host Rit Saraswat, who has worked on everything from Bad Girls Club to Vanderpump Rules, as he works to dismantle the shame around loving and working in reality TV. It's a world of flying prosthetic legs, cabaret, and booz…
Rit takes on the latest season of Love Is Blind and that killer reunion, and the first 6 episodes of Buying Beverly Hills!
NOTE: After recording I learned that Ramona did NOT in fact attend the wedding! This episode is sponsored by Teresa's hair extensions, strobe light strips, and the hardest working fog machine ever made.
Rit is joined by co-host supreme Kristen Morelli and boyyy is there much to discuss. Tamra's back! Jeff Lewis's fans are odd! Dorinda's XM show sucks! Southern Charm, Dubai, Beverly Hills, and finally Ultimate Girls Trip!
Rit returns from an 11 month absence after working on the latest season of RHOC, and he lived to tell the tale! ....sort of.
Rit finally deep dives into the world of Clubhouse and lives to tell the tale. He then rounds up the latest news (the Manzos are terrifying) and talks the latest episode of RHONY featuring the very divisive Heather T.
Rit opens up about a family loss, the confusion in the aftermath, and the nasty COVID vaccine side effects that struck at the same time. But because you can't get through tough times without laughter, he also touches on Porsha's bombshell news, the RHOA reunion, and THE CIRCLE on Netflix. Once again, TV is that warm hug that makes everything feel ok. That warm, screaming, shady hug...
Rit breaks down this week's RHOD and that insane RHOA finale, where Drew goes above and beyond to try to secure next season's peach. But how far is too far?
Rit is joined by actor, writer, producer -- and oh yeah, winner of Netflix's THE CIRCLE -- Joey Sasso! Joey has built a career defying expectations and pushing himself to the limit to accomplish his goals. His labor of love, feature film YOUNG LION OF THE WEST, is nearing completion and will no doubt release before long. Joey gives 100% to everything, even going so far as to watch RHONJ for this episode, and he reveals which Jersey housewife has captured his heart. This is a great chat about following your dreams and getting far in life by just being yourself!
That's right, Rit is just another person posting an episode with a Jen Shah pun. Covering this explosive Jen Shah story required the expertise of Steve (aka @facesbybravo) who has been collecting bits and pieces of facts and presenting them to us lazy Bravo fans. Exhausted after a 24 hour stint on the frontlines, Steve breaks everything down for us, shares info from his conversation with an attorney, and also explains the drama surrounding his tank top. Indeed, no stone is left unturned in this very special episode.
Rit is joined by the brilliant host of REALITY LIFE Kate Casey, who elevates the conversation around our favorite shows to academic heights. Kate also touches down on the aftermath of that now famous interview with Danni Baird from Southern Charm, which revealed A-Rod to be "the ex-MLB player." They also touch down on a couple of bizarre news items, and then recap RHOA and RHONJ. It's a packed show, and you will feel smarter just by listening to Kate! Check out Kate's TV recommendations: https://katecasey.substack.com/
Rit is joined by Cara Maria and Paulie from MTV's The Challenge! They talk about the circumstances surrounding their (temporary?) exit from the show, their first romantic night together during production, and the effects of horseback riding on the human anatomy. See? There's something for everyone! Follow: Cara Maria: IG: @misscaramaria Paulie: IG: @paulcalafiore_
Rit takes a deep dive into Vanity Fair's lengthy piece on Armie Hammer, which sprawls across five generations of bizarre behavior, obscene wealth, and carefully guarded family secrets.
Rit is surprised to learn that Tinsley and Scott broke their engagement, mostly because he didn't realize they were still together. He also touches on eight of the unconfirmed castmembers of whatever this all-stars Housewives show is, as well as the unfortunate news item about Brandi. No, not that one... the other one... no, the OTHER one. Plus, Craig's law firm.
Welcome to REALITY TONIGHT! New name, same Rit. On this episode, Rit recaps RHOA and celebrates the end of Cynthia's drawn out wedding storyline, discusses LaToya's uncomfortable straddling of both sides of the group, and touches on his new obsession with Armie Hammer's family, which boasts of five generations of deranged behavior.
Rit announces a change coming to HOUSEWIVES TONIGHT! (Don't worry, it's a good change.) He also gets into The Interview (yes, the Meghan Markle one), talks a little bit of news out of RHONJ and RHOBH, and reads excerpts from the recent LA Times investigation about what naughty Tom Giradi was up to with those stolen funds. (Hint: Jay Leno and some pricey chicken.)
Rit is joined by Anne and Gina, hosts of the DAMES WHO DISH podcast, to talk Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, RHONJ, RHOD, and Summer House! This is a conversation full of hilarious detours and backstories about the three of them, from nightmare jobs, to hottest Househusbands, and whether or not lake swimming is the ideal. This episode will get you prepped for the week ahead on Bravo! Be sure to subscribe to DAMES WHO DISH for more content from this episode, including an RHOA recap and an RHOBH tangent!
Rit welcomes Queen of the Seven Seas HANNAH FERRIER (Below Deck: Med, the DEAR DIARY.... podcast) to Housewives Tonight, and the topics range from motherhood and Hannah's final season, to her appreciation of BLING EMPIRE, RHOP, RHOA, and all things Bravo. (During which Hannah weighs in on whether or not Michael Darby playing grab ass "is an Australian thing.") The questions get tossed aside before long, and the conversation zigs and zags in the best of ways. This was a damn good time! Follow Hannah's adventures at @hannahferrier234 Check out Ocean International Training Academy (.com) to see the courses Hannah has developed for aspiring yachties! Listen to Hannah on the DEAR DIARY... podcast available everywhere!
Rit feels hoodwinked by the false lead on a Melissa cheating Joe storyline, so he has some RHONJ thoughts to air! (Also, is Evan really angry, or does Jackie want to be the first person to ever get Teresa to apologize?) Then Rit touches down on the RHOSLC reunion, the uncomfortable buzz surrounding Jen Shah, and the biggest takeaway from RHOD after Brandi recycles the past and puts Tiffany in a terrible position. INSTAGRAM/TWITTER: @wivestonight
Rit celebrates 100 episodes by welcoming Real Housewife of Dallas D'Andra Simmons! D'Andra is the first Real Housewife to grace the podcast with her wonderful presence, and in this conversation, she reveals so many difference facets of her personality that we don't get to see on the show. Real Housewives of Dallas airs Tuesdays on Bravo, and catch D'Andra's podcast I Don't Give a Rip!
Kristen is back for more to help Rit tackle pt. 2 of the RHOSLC reunion, an RHOD where Kary is congratulated for doing something decent, and SUMMER HOUSE where Lindsay makes a request of her boyfriend on camera that she just might regret.
Rit is joined by favorite guest co-host Kristen, and after they play a game to determine their dungeon names, it's off to the races to recap a racy RHOA, and a mudslinging RHONJ. Oh yeah, and they also chat Winter House and Brandi's departure because the Bravo Gods don't understand the concept of a weekend.
Rit welcomes Brittany Picolo-Ramos, star of HGTV's Selling the Big Easy! Brittany talks about confidence, staying authentic while being a television personality, and what she really thinks of Zilllow! It's a conversation full of laughs and a ton of heart that is guaranteed to leave you smiling. Follow Brittany on Instagram: @brittanypicoloramos/ YouTube: Brittany Picolo-Ramos
Much like the brilliant Dr. Tiffany Moon, Rit and Steve (@facesbybravo) take time out of their busy schedules to reunite and talk RHOD, because they just want to find a balance. Rit requested that Steve stay no longer than one hour.
Rit breaks down part 2 of the Southern Charm reunion and the premiere of Summer House!
In his first episode of 2021, Rit rounds up news from RHOD, RHOP, RHOBH, RHOSLC, and RHOA (phew) and gets into the beef between Kary and D'Andra, and Tiffany's relatable Asian parent pressure. He also tells his a story about the time he met Reese Witherspoon. It does not have a happy ending.
Rit goes over the latest drama unfolding in the DeLesseps family, talks about Brittany's response to her exit statement mistake, and teaches you how to sing like Candiace.
