- Her performances make people
jump out of their seat,
and her home is a modest
22,000 square feet.
It's "Watch What
Happens Live"
with Heather Dubrow
and Annaleigh Ashford now.

Hey, everybody, welcome
to "Watch What Happens Live."
I'm your host Andy Cohen
live in the Bravo Clubhouse
for an "OC" premier party
which should go smoothly
as long as nobody eats the bow
off of anybody else's cake.
My first guest is back on "OC"
after a 5-year break
which she probably spent
walking from one end
of her house to the other.
Please welcome Real Housewife
from "Orange County"
Heather Dubrow!
[cheers and applause]
She's back, everybody!
Welcome back, Heather.
You got your champs?
- I do.
- Very good.
My next guest is administrating
your weekly dose of happy pills
on her show "B Positive"
Thursdays on CBS.
But when it comes
to "Housewives,"
she "B Positive"-ly hooked.
It's our friend Annaleigh
Ashford. Hey, Annaleigh!
[cheers and applause]
- I'm so happy I'm here!
- Annaleigh, you were
so great as Paula Jones
on "Impeachment,"
I just have to say.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Absolutely wonderful.
Now I will say, you are
a major Heather Dubrow fan.
How are you feeling?
You've seen the premiere.
You are here
with her tonight.
- Um, this is a good day.
- Right. Very good.
- It's a good day. It's a good
day for "Housewives."
I just wanna say that.
Welcome home.
- Thank you.
- Yes. Welcome home.
- You know,
over at the bar,
it's a woman whose product
might hit the spot
even more than a glass of
champagne ordered to your closet
by the push of a button.
It's the founder and CEO
of DO, Cookie Dough Confections,
Kristen Tomlan.
Hey, Kristen. Wow!
Is that a cookie dough
cake there?
- Yes.
- With a menorah on top?
- I mean, we're celebrating
Hanukkah now.
- Wow, I love you.
[laughing]
Drinking game alert--
My guests won't know it.
Any time you hear
anyone say this word,
if you are 21 or over,
until you have trouble
getting in and out
of your fancy pants.
I think I left
a word out there.
Grab your phones.
Go to WWHL.tv right now.
We have a lot of polls
coming your way.
We have a lot of
questions coming in
about tonight's "OC" premiere,
um, and I--
how much did you enjoy Heather's
house tour, first of all?
- I feel like it needs to be
its own character on the show.
- Well, it is!
- I mean, it is.
But I feel like it should be
all the Housewives
and then the house
with an orange.
- Right.
[laughter]
Um, okay, I want to get
right to our polls.
Pick up your phone.
Go to WWHL.tv.
Tell us on a scale
of 1 to 10,
how much did Shannon enjoy
Heather's home tour?
- Oh, dear.
- One being the lowest.
Was that shady editing,
or were you getting that vibe?
- I didn't get that vibe at all.
- You didn't?
- No, I didn't at all.
- Okay. Okay.
- I thought we were having
a great time.
By the way, we had
had many tequilas,
and I poured drinks
halfway through.
- I thought also
her explanation
of she used to live
in your neighborhood
in a huge house--
she has since downsized--
it was something
that I could understand.
- Yeah, but you
know what?
Comparison is the thief
of joy, you know?
- All right. Uh, you guys
are landing at a 3.
She enjoyed it a 3.
Stay on WWHL.tv.
You know, the big accusation
from Emily and Gina
was that J-- that Shannon
likes to stir the pot
and step away.
Do you think this
is the truth?
Yes or no,
Annaleigh Ashford?
- Oh, yes, sometimes,
but I love you, Shannon.
But sometimes.
- Heather Dubrow?
She is drinking
her champagne
and not responding,
which is a response,
and that's a landslide
from the viewers.
Okay, um, we did
get a Tweet
from someone who,
I guess,
was watching
the show tonight.
Can you guess who?
- Uh, well, there's a lot
on that list, Andy.
- Yes, there is.
It's a former Housewife,
Kelly Dodd Leventhal.
She says, "Who wears Fendi
earrings with a Fendi dress
"and a Fendi bag,
then wears Louis Vuitton pants
"with a Louis Vuitton shirt?
"Someone help this fash--
fashion victim. Fire--
"#Fireyourstylist."
Thoughts, Heather?
These were about-- okay.
- Okay, well, let's look up
the hashtag "logomania,"
and you'll see I don't think
I'm actually alone here.
But you know
what's so crazy?
Like, I don't know
whether to be flattered
that Kelly's so obsessed that
she talks about me all the time,
or-or honestly sad that
she has no other content.
[audience oohhing]
- All right.
- #fierce!
- Tonight, Emily was convinced
that there was nothing hotter
than Shannon Beador
in white jeans,
but that's just
'cause she hasn't heard
Annaleigh's takes
on Housewives.
Annaleigh, it's time
to spill those
with "BravOH No
They Didn't!"
I know you're watching a lot.
Let's start with "OC."
Do you think Shannon purposely
planted the seed
with Gina and Emily about
Nicole, um, and the lawsuit
in order for them to
give the news to Heather
instead of her?
- I love you so much, Shannon,
but, yes,
I think she did.
I think she--
Mm, she did it.
- Uh, which new girl
are you feeling more thus far?
Noella or Dr. Jen?
- Dr. Jen is so cool,
and her husband
never wears a shirt.
- Yeah, what's not to love
about that?
Uh, Noella also is one
of the most beautiful women
I think I've ever seen,
basically.
- Yeah, and she has, like,
a sex room.
Good for her! Cool!
- Yes, right.
- Uh, knowing that he passed
the bar due to a technicality,
uh, Shane as your lawyer--
are you in?
- Um, ahem, I'm in,
but I'd also like
Emily to assist
with some legal findings
and help.
- Yes. There you go.
Uh, Emily is quick
on her feet.
Uh, "Salt Lake City"--
general thoughts on everything
going on with Jen Shah
and the fed bust
heard around the world.
- Well, I think her closet
was a red flag.
- Um, on "Below Deck," uh,
can Eddie and Chef Rachel
let bygones be bygones,
or is this gonna continue?
- Yes, and can she be
on "Top Chef"?
Has anybody
said that yet?
Does everybody say
that all the time?
- It's a thought.
- Okay. Okay.
- Um, "Vanderpump Rules"--
thoughts on Lala
and Randall's recent split.
Are they done
for good?
- No, they're never
done for good.
Come on, guys!
Get it back together!
- Um, "Potomac"--
thoughts on Nicki Minaj
taking the host seat.
Did you enjoy?
- That was one of the best
things I've ever seen,
and her necklaces
brought me a lot of joy,
um, and she gave it
to them,
and they-they went for it!
- They did.
Thank you very much,
Annaleigh Ashford.
Okay, head on back to "Watch
What Happens Live"-- WWHL.tv
This is a very
shady poll.
Is it still an accomplishment
that Shane passed the bar
if they lowered
the grade to pass?
Yes or no?
I loved Emily's sense of humor
about this.
Emily made me laugh
several times this episode.
- Yeah.
- Um, what were your--
What were your impressions
of Emily and Gina when you, uh,
met them
and got to know them?
- Yeah, well, Gina and I
hit it off immediately.
We did that whole
New York thing very quickly.
And so-- and my accent
got worse
as I sat and spoke to her.
- Right. Yes.
- Emily I didn't get to know
until later,
but very nice when
I first met her, yeah.
- Um, you guys say,
"Yes. It is an accomplishment."
Very good.
Congratulations, Shane.
Um, well, tonight
Heather struggled to count
the number of rooms
in her mansion,
but I'll hope she'll be able
to count the times in her life
where there was
room for improvement.
It's time to play...
Heather, tell me
if you take back
any of the following moments--
- Oh no.
Oh, I need alcohol.
- From your time
on the Housewives.
Take your alcohol.
Do you regret kicking
Shannon Beador
out of your house
back in season nine?
- Um, I wouldn't say
"kicking out,"
but, "Asking to leave"
I do not,
and it plays into something
that happens this season
that we will talk
about at the reunion.
- Okay.
I would call it
"kicking out."
Do you regret calling
Kelly Dodd "trash" to her face
while on the sprinter
to the Ireland Airport?
- No.
- Okay.
Do you regret making
such a huge deal
about Sarah Winchester
breaking the bow on your cake?
- No! Wasn't that bad?
- Right.
- Horrific.
- Uh, see that?
Our bartender says
it's horrific.
- I mean--
- Thank you, Kristen.
She would know.
Do you regret telling Gretchen
there's no competition
between the two of you
when it came to
your Malibu Country roles?
- No!
- The Malibu Country storyline
was one of my favorites.
- So funny.
- It was amazing.
- Amazing.
- Do you regret friendships
with any of the former RHOC?
- No.
- Okay.
Do you regret not making
Terry onion rings
when he requested them?
- Yes, yes.
- Terry Dubrow is here.
Everybody, welcome
Terry Dubrow.
[cheering and applause]
Do you regret not sending
Shannon and Tamra invites
for your Super Bowl party
after you left the Housewives
despite sending them
a "Save the Date" for the party?
- No.
- Really?
- No.
- It seemed at the time,
like, you immediately
wanted nothing
to do with them
because you weren't
on the show anymore.
- It was time to move on.
- Okay.
Do you regret your blunt bangs
at the Season Nine reunion?
- Yes.
- That's her one regret!
Oh, that's two regrets.
Wow, that is funny.
Uh, do you regret saying
the Orange County Housewives
were blue collar
before you got on?
You said this in our
best selling book,
"Not All Diamonds and Rosé."
- Uh, good plug.
- Thank you.
- Um, it was taken
a little out of context.
- Okay.
- But kind of what I meant
was is that
we all have jobs,
and we work, as opposed
to other branches
like Beverly Hills where they're
not really working and-and--
- Well by the way,
I always refer to RHOC
as "Knots Landing"
versus a "Dynasty" of--
- Right. That's kind of
what I meant.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- All right. Do you regret
being a Know-It-All
with Tamra and Vicky,
telling them
the exact temperature
wine needs to be at,
and that they shouldn't
use stemless wine glasses?
- No, because I'm right.
- Thank you very much...
[cheering and applause]
Heather Dubrow.
Wow, okay.
- You can't live your life
with regrets, Andy.
- No, you can't.
- You can't.
- Uh, Shelina K. texted,
"Annaleigh, how do you think
Erica handled herself
"during
the BH reunion?"
- She answered so much more
than I ever thought she would.
Um, one of my favorite
moments was when
you were like,
"You are a piece of work.
"Never met anybody like you."
- Yes.
- And I feel like that
sort of summed it up, like--
- Yes.
- There's nobody like her.
- Yes. Now when
we come back,
we have more with
Heather and Annaleigh.
Uh, first,
it's Shotski Night, guys.
Let's do this.
We earned this.
Heather, you're gonna
need a lot of shotskis
when you're back
on the show.
One. Two. Three.
[cheering and applause]
All right,
tomorrow night:
Martha Stewart
and Christan Siriano
are stopping by
after "Project Runway."
Don't go anywhere.
- This is all your fault.
- I know.
It is. It is.
**
- Stay.
Mommy loves you.
Hey. What's goin' on?
- Not much.
Just showing off
my new house.
[chuckling]
- What?
What happened to
your actual house?
- I sold it for one
that gets nine miles
to the gallon.
- Oh, Drew.
- That was a clip
from "Be Positive,"
Thursdays at 9:30 on CBS
starring Annaleigh Ashford.
Hey, Annaleigh. I love you.
- Hey!
Thank you.
- You look great.
Welcome back to
"Watch What Happens Live."
It's Andy Cohen,
live in the Bravo Clubhouse,
also joined by Real Housewife
of Orange County,
Heather Dubrow.
She's back, everybody.
Over at the bar,
she is serving treats
that are sweeter than Noella's
husband "Sweet" James--
former husband,
it's Kristen from DO,
Cookie Dough Confections.
Is there still,
like, a two hour line
outside of your store
every day in New York City?
- You know Andy,
if you come in,
I'll let you right
past the line.
- Thank you.
- Okay. Cutting the line--
- Well, I can't jump
a line like that.
No, but everyone in
the line will hate me.
Drinking game-- but that's
how much people want Kristen's--
- Yes.
- Kristen's dough.
Uh, drinking game reminder:
anytime you hear this word,
in honor of Heather's
champs wall,
drink until
you hit a wall.
Let's take some questions
for our virtual fans.
Here's Chuck and Miranda
from Maryland for Heather.
What's your question?
- Hi, Heather.
How shocked were you when
Shannon and David divorced,
and do you believe her
new boyfriend, John,
is the one?
- Oh, I mean I wasn't
surprised when they split up,
and I was actually
kind of happy for her
because I felt like
she should have a chance
to be happy and live
her best life.
Um, John is lovely.
We got to know him.
Terry loves him,
and we had a lot of fun
with them this season.
- Very good.
Elise from Wisconsin,
what's your question
for Annaleigh Ashford?
- Hey, guys.
Um, so since Paula Jones
watched the first episode
of "Impeachment," and said
it wasn't an accurate portrayal,
have you spoken
to her since,
and do you know if she watched
the rest of the episodes?
- Really good question.
I hope she watched
the rest of the episodes,
and I know she felt like
it wasn't accurate,
but I would urge her to...
to talk to folks who've watched
because I feel like most people
who see the show have so much
empathy and love for her,
and I just-- I hope that
she finds that out somehow.-
- I had a-- I had
empathy for her,
and I had empathy
for Linda Tripp,
which I never
had in my life.
- Yeah.
- Uh, Adamo1987 said
the number one question
for Heather Dubrow has to be,
"How much did the house cost
when all is said and done?"
- My husband is sitting
in the audience.
- Oh, do you--
does he know,
or does he not know?
- No!
- Of course not--
- No, but the bank doesn't
even know his signature.
I mean--
- Annaleigh, uh, Phoebe C.
wants to know if you have
a favorite Sondheim memory,
and what was the best piece
of advice he gave you
while working on "Sunday
in the Park with George"?
- I think there's many
magical memories,
but I think
my favorite is, um,
after running the opening number
with the orchestra
for the first time,
he stopped everything
and he added a couple bars to
the very end of the song,
and he changed it
in the moment--
on the spot, which was
just such a reminder
that art is fluid.
It should change
and be present,
and he was so present
in his art.
- Wow, and are you
doing it in London?
I know it got postponed.
- Yeah, someday,
somehow, somewhere,
we'll do it in London, yeah.
- Right. Wow.
Uh, Heather,
Nina V. said,
"since we didn't get
to see it on camera,
"how drunk was
Shannon and crew
at Javier's when you paid
for her tab?"
- Oh.
That was so weird.
Can you imagine,
I've never run into these girls
ever in my whole life?
- It's wild. It is so wild.
- I left-- what's really crazy
is I left a Nobu lunch
that you see on the show...
- Yes.
- And I stopped at Javier's,
'cause Terry was having
an office dinner,
and I ran into Emily
in the parking lot.
She walked me inside,
and I saw Gina and Shannon,
and they were wasted.
- Wow.
[laughter]
- In the best way.
- Um, Jack L. said,
"without giving too much away,
"can you tease whatever's
about to happen at your party
"in next week's
episode?"
- Well, this is
what I would say,
I would say that truth
is definitely stranger
than fiction,
and, um--
- All hell breaks loose,
is what I would say.
- Yeah, it's not--
- Wow.
- Uh, it's the season of giving,
but it's also Bravo's
season of getting,
so today everyone
in our studio audience
is going home
with a gift bag
complete with tons of
Bravo-centric goodies,
including a mug...
[cheering]
Holiday ornaments,
and some comfy slippers.
For more holiday gifts
and gets,
visit ShopByBravo.com.
What do you got?
- I got a little
present for you.
What I brought you is
a piece of Chateau Dubrow.
I brought you your own--
- Oh, my god, I love it!
[cheers and applause]
Champagne!
- And it actually works.
[cheering]
- I'm gonna put it up in
the Clubhouse. I love this.
Um, Nicole and Noella
said tonight
that they met in a private
airport bathroom,
and since Heather's home
is bigger and more tricked out
than most airport terminals,
I thought we could play
a round of
Chateau Dubrow
or Hell to the No.
Heather will read off
a list of home features,
all of which sound
too insane to be true.
Annaleigh and I will guess
if Heather's home
has each feature
And then Heather
will reveal.
Okay, give us
the first one, Heather.
- Thank you for
the big font, by the way.
Okay, do I have a gigantic gong
in my backyard?
- Yes, you do.
- Yes, I do.
- We saw that.
- Do I have a directory
of the full home
at the front door?
- I think she does.
- Uh, yes, yeah.
I think you do.
- No, I need to lead you
to the room.
- Okay.
[laughter]
- Do I have a room
dedicated to gift-wrapping?
- Yes.
- That is very Candy Spelling.
I think...
- Did you not see my--
- I think that she--
I think it would be
too derivative
of Candy Spelling
for her to do it.
Do you?
- She's so good at giving gifts.
So, yes. I think yes.
- Ish.
- Okay, ish.
- Part of the laundry room,
it's like a wall.
- Okay.
- A wall.
- Do I have an original
Warhol print?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- No.
- Aw, you should!
- You can put that
on the Christmas lists.
[laughter]
- Um, I do.
- Yes!
- You do?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well. Really?
Okay, do I have an ice machine
that pumps air into the ice
so that it doesn't
hurt my teeth?
- (both) No.
- Yes.
- Oh, my god.
- Oh!
- Okay.
- Of course I do.
Do I have Valentino studs
on the hood above my oven?
- Oh, my god, that would be
the bougiest thing on Earth,
and I'm gonna say yes.
- Yes!
- Wow.
- Oh, my god!
- Oh, my god.
- Do I have a disco ball
in the garage?
- Yes!
- Sure.
- Well, I have two.
- Oh, my god!
- Do I have a lemon tree
that was donated
by Yolanda Hadid?
- Oh, I so hope
that you do.
- Yes, yes.
- Yes.
- I wish I did,
but I do not.
Do I have a champagne doorbell
in my closet
that rings to the kitchen?
- Yes, we saw it tonight.
- I do! Yes, I do.
Do I have a 12-foot
painted portrait of me?
- No.
- No, we would've seen it
in the episode.
- No, I don't have a painting.
I had to think about that
for a second. Okay.
But I do have an ink drawing
of myself in my studio.
- Of course, yes.
- Oh, good.
- All right, do I have a mini
skate park in the basement?
- Ye-- uh--
- No.
- We would've seen it.
- A garage could be
a skate park,
so I'm gonna say yes.
- You didn't see
the whole house.
- Wow.
- Ooh!
- Thanks for playing.
When we come back,
more with these two
plus my Mazel
of the day.
Don't go anywhere.
We'll be right back.

- "D-O."
Cookiedonyc.com.
- Perfect.
You guys are--
I've been gorging during
the commercial breaks.
Um, Annaleigh,
SinMDMI said that
"you could play Gina
in the RHOC musical.
You could be sisters."
- Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
- You're doing a musical?
- I don't know, but we should.
Can you sing, Heather?
Oh, I know the answer
to this, sorry.
Yes, keep watching.
Uh, Annaleigh,
Noelle E. said,
"is it true that
when you played a young Annie,
"you peed on the stage
during the second act?
Have you ever had another
accident on stage?"
- It's very true
that I peed.
Um, right through
the suitcase.
You know, when you get
to the end of the show,
Annie doesn't have
very many breaks.
And I was drinking
a lot of water,
and I sat down on the suitcase,
and I went...
* Maybe far *
[sighs]
* Away *
[laughter]
- Wow. Let it go.
- And I just let it go.
- Laura from San Jose
wants to know,
"Heather, what was
your reaction to the news
"that Meghan King married
Joe Biden's nephew?"
- So I was very happy
for her.
I mean, really,
it was amazing.
I think we were on a cast trip
when I heard the news.
And I texted her,
and I was just thrilled.
- Are you still in touch
with Jim Edmonds?
He was your original
neighbor.
You knew him first.
- Yeah, he was.
I think Terry
has spoken to him.
- Yeah. Um, Heather,
"do you regret
telling Alexis Bellino
"that if everyone
tells you you're dead,
it's time to lie down,"
Taylor I. wants to know?
[cheering]
- No. I think it's actually
a fabulous quote,
and it's been repeated
many times.
[cheers and applause]
- It is time for
my Mazel of the Day.
It goes to the miracle bestowed
on Orange County tonight.
Gina finally got
her hair right.
[cheers and applause]
How did we get here?
Let's retrace our roots
with this
in memoriam montage
honoring
the bad hair days of yore.
- Oh, my gosh.
[laughter]
- Whoa!

[laughter]
Mazel tov, Gina.
Tonight's Jackhole
goes to a woman in England
who accidentally put her baby
up for sale on Facebook
when she tried to sell her sofa
but uploaded a picture
of her 7-month-old son
instead.
This is what you get
for naming your baby
Laz-E-Boy Recliner, lady!
[laughter]
I wanna thank Heather,
Annaleigh, and Kristen
for being here.
[cheers and applause]
The word of the night
was "Shannon."
We said it 11 times.
If you've been playing our

Watch our aftershow live.
Welcome back, Heather.
You're back,

Thanks, Annaleigh!
