Kyle Richards, Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti are cooking with “extra” Billy Bush and “wild card” ahead of Kyle’s guest star stint!
That’s a very meta role for Kyle. She plays the star of a long-running reality show.
Richards opened up about his return to acting, saying, “I put my foot in the door, but I’m hiding in the ‘housewife’. But I continue to perform here and there while I’m doing the “Halloween” franchise and “Housewives.”
When asked if her dream was to do the scripted project again, Kyle replied, “Yes… Ultimately, I’m just acting and producing.”
Giacomo said, “I knew I was going to do this ‘Housewife’ episode. Every episode of the show, “Wild Cards,” is like a theme. Sometimes it’s a genre.
Richards admitted that he was no at first! She explained, “Well, they asked me, and I said, “I don’t want to play characters like ‘Housewife’ – “You know. I don’t want to do anything with it. And I said no first and then they said, ‘But it’s really, it’s a great show, people love it.” So I said, “Let me read the script,” and I read the script, I loved it, then I saw it, and I loved the show, and I thought, “I’m going to do this anyway.”
She continued. “It sounds interesting, and there’s a lot of humor in the show, but it’s also very dramatic.”
Giacomo hasn’t seen “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” but Vanessa admitted she loves the show.
She said, “I’m not caught up in it, but when she was cast on our show, I was so happy, because I’m a huge fan.”
The three-part reunion of “Rhobh” season 16 is currently airing, with Kyle in Andy Cohen’s Hot Seat!
She said, “You know, I just want a break. We’ve got two more episodes, another reunion, and another for the next week, and you know…”
“And you go through the same tempered damn thing that you do every time,” Billy said.
Kyle laughed and agreed, “It’s like the mafia…it’s hard to come out.”
Vanessa said, “She’s literally the sweetest person and I can’t believe you need to deal with it because you’re so cold, like drama and stress.”
Richards said, “I hate drama, I hate conflict. How did you get here?” She added, “And I’ve still been standing here for nearly 15 years, so that’s the dance we do.”
Kyle also discussed her BFF and her previous “Rhobh” co-star Teddi Mellencamp.
Richards said, “She’s having a tough day right now going through radiation and immunotherapy, but you know Teddy. She’s a really strong girl and I believe she’ll come out on the other side of this.
Billy points out that Teddy maintains a sense of humor during the cancer battle, and Kyle says, “She’s very positive… She has these group chats she’s named.
Richards returned from taking his daughter Portia on a college visit in Texas. She said, “She ended up having a concussion while we were there. It was really scary… Someone knocked on her and she fell and smashed her head, but she’s fine now… Parenting isn’t for the weak!
“Wild Card” will air on CW on Wednesday.
