<p id=”par-1_80″>Andy Cohen must be tired of fielding questions about future <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/real-housewives/”>Real Housewives</a></em> series. The Bravo exec has climbed the ladder of TV programming <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-did-andy-cohen-become-famous.html/”>since he was an intern at <em>CBS News</em></a>. Now, he’s the executive producer of <em>The Real Housewives</em><a href=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_franchise”> </a>franchise and host of <em>Watch What Happens Live!</em> On the November 6 episode of the late night talk show, Cohen hosted <em>RHOSLC</em> star Whitney Rose and actor Joy Bryant. While fielding questions for the pair, he received an interesting inquiry himself.</p>

<p id=”par-2_58″>As <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/whitney-rose-addresses-explosive-alibaba-rumors-watch-what-happens-live-andy-cohen.html/”>Cohen sipped cocktails with Rose</a> and Joy Bryant, he fielded a question from a <em><a href=”https://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live-with-andy-cohen/season-21/episode-177/videos/whitney-rose-hopes-to-tackle” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>WWHL</a></em> viewer, Lauren from Missouri. She excitedly told Cohen, “I love you Andy, and St. Louis needs a Real Housewives franchise!” The TV host chuckled nervously before responding, “I don’t poop where I eat. You understand?” before taking a sip from his drink.</p>

<p id=”par-3_60″>Despite Cohen’s connection to Missouri — <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/anderson-cooper-teases-andy-cohen-after-the-bravo-host-posts-hilarious-throwback-photo.html/”>he was born in St. Louis</a> — the 56-year-old Bravo exec likely favors other cities over STL. <em>Real Housewives</em> needs a dynamic city that supports a luxury lifestyle and presents a unique culture. Greater St. Louis is home to over 2.8 million residents. But Cohen’s hometown likely would not be favored over nearby Chicago.</p>

<p id=”par-4_30″>Currently, eight <em>Real Housewives</em> franchises are airing, filming, or in post-production. Eleven total have been produced in the U.S. since<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/which-real-housewives-installment-is-the-oldest.html/”><em>The Real Housewives of Orange County</em> first premiered</a> in 2006. </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-notable-cities-considered-for-real-housewives-franchises”>Notable cities considered for ‘Real Housewives’ franchises</h2>
<p id=”par-5_30″>Over the years, Bravo has considered several other <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-most-popular-real-housewives-franchise-in-america-is-also-1-of-the-messiest.html/”>cities for <em>Real Housewives</em> franchises</a>. While some were rumors, others were seriously considered but never fully developed or made it to air.</p>

<p id=”par-6_25″>New Orleans: Bravo has looked into NOLA multiple times due to its vibrant culture and unique blend of personalities. Sadly for supporters, it’s never materialized.</p>
<p id=”par-7_43″>Nashville: With a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-detailed-nashville-guide-gives-celebrities.html/”>mix of country music stars</a>, wealthy locals, and socialites, Music City was in serious talks as a possible <em>Real Housewives</em> location. Casting rumors have surfaced over the years, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this franchise comes to fruition someday.</p>
<p id=”par-8_38″>Chicago: There’s been fan demand and network interest for a Chicago edition. Its mix of socialites, powerful businesswomen, and diverse personalities could add something new to the network. And many Bravo viewers would certainly welcome a Midwest franchise.</p>

<p id=”par-10_41″>Scottsdale: Plentiful plastic surgery, luxury real estate, and a bevy of competitive women… there’s no place quite like Scottsdale. There was talk of an Arizona-based series that would highlight the upscale lifestyle of Scottsdale residents. Sadly, it never came to fruition.</p>
<p id=”par-11_26″>Las Vegas: Known for its glitz, gambling, and larger-than-life personalities, Las Vegas has been floated as a potential Housewives city but hasn’t yet come to pass.</p>
