Did the people in this thread villify Oprah? Unless they did, I suggest you stop making the comparisons and go ask those who went after Oprah for this. They probably did an online petition which Im sure you can track them down from there. As it stand, this argument has no basis here on SON. I for one love Andy and never attacked and/or expected Oprah to do sh-t for AMC/OLTL, so dont try and use me as an excuse to go back there. DONT.

Cheap, I recognize that SON is not a board full of anti-Oprah crazies. It's just that I wanted to point out that there was a huge double standard that exists between Oprah/OWN and Andy Cohen (and the other Bravo executives). In hindsight, it would have been more appropriate for me to have either started a brand new thread or to have taken this issue to a board/Facebook page where they are rabidly anti-Oprah.

I didn't mean to imply that you were somebody who hated Oprah. The only time I even mentioned you was when you stated you were shocked at "how much power" Andy has at Bravo. But now, you are saying he has "limited power," so I am very confused as to the extent of his influence at the network. Regardless, there was considerable internet chatter about Bravo picking up AMC & OLTL; when they opted not to do that, the network did not receive the same type of wrath that Oprah/OWN got. But, as stated earlier, that conversation should probably be directed towards the people who spend their mornings, afternoons, and evenings hating on Oprah (as opposed to talking to you about it). I am sincerely sorry for upsetting you, and I won't post again in this thread.

And Cohen DOES have limited power. I didnt say anything more than you already know. Based on your research that you posted earlier in this thread, he is only the VP of Original Programmingand Development. Guess what? AMC and OLTL are not original programs. Cohen specifically overseas the reality shows, you know all those cheap shows specifically which cast real life personalities to follow their lives/businesses. He has nothing to do with bringing on expensive scripted dramas which have existed for decades bc those are beyond the scope of his responsibilies. So Please, stop trying to derail the thread with cancellation nonsense which has nothing to do with Andy

Perfection.

Here's a pic. I guess it's not live tomorrow.

Erica Kane, sandwiched between two hot guys. A gay sidekick and a guy she can f--k with. Must be good to be a diva

OMG! LOVED IT! Love Andy quoting Susan's book about Brian Frons. Brian Frons was the jackhole of the day. LOL!

It was great. Loved the Lucci gushing. He spent as much time as possible on Susan without totally ignoring his other guest.

It was a nice interview! Loved when Susan said she stays in touch with Alicia and Eden from AMC ;'-)

Susan looked shocked and a little embarrassed when Andy named Brian Frons the Jackhole of the day. LOL

ETA: I was surprised Susan didn't remember Erica stabbing Zach or David

Here's an excerpt from Andy Cohen's book. It's a great read! All about his first meeting with Susan Lucci.

Andy isn't smiling a showbusiness smile, he looks genuinely happy standing next to Lucci at Bravo HQ. Little Andy, happy at last.

Also, Andy on Howard Stern, an interesting interview to say the least:

Has Susan's episode made it online?

Not that I can find! So frustrating, I want to see it!

I don't think Andy puts his episodes online and I couldn't find it on YouTube. If I can figure out how to transfer from my DVR to my computer, I'll post it somewhere. Andy's a total fanboy.
