Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef
Reality show superfan David Yontef turned reality show super friend has created this daily (seven days a week!) podcast of all your favorite Bravolebrities. Yontef morphed into a reality show guru following a law degree and working for years in the recruitment business. It seems like his appearance on the Millionaire Matchmaker sparked this reality show obsession. He’s friendly, chatty and a good conversationalist. His new friends are guests, and his knowledge of every detail of a specific episode is impressive. Whether chatting with Tamra Judge, Terry Dubrow, or Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay, you’re sure to get some timely scoop and exactly what you want to know (but may be too embarrassed to ask).
TV SERIES
And Just Like That…
Whether you grew up with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha in Sex and the City, or 11 years later watching for the first time, it’s addicting. We’re obsessed with the fashion style of Sarah Jessica Parker, the wildly anticipated cameo of Kim Cattrall, or the return of love interest Aidan (John Corbett). No, the clothes aren’t as great as when Patricia Field was the show’s costume designer (memories of a tutu combined with lots of heels) but still fun to dream of having some pieces in your closet. Like the original but with more timely social issues, we follow the personal and professional lives of this famous trio with amazing energy from Mario Cantone making frequent cameos. Yes, maybe too much mature sex for many, so be warned, but nevertheless we can’t stop watching each weekly drop on Max.
The Morning Show
Almost two years later, this fan favorite (second-most-watched Apple TV+ series) with superstars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in their roles of Alex Levy and Bradley Jackson is finally coming back. They give us a behind the scenes look at a TV morning show and all the chain of events of the anchors, producers, staff, and crew. No matter how much time has passed since the last season, we will easily catch up to this highly anticipated debut on September 13.
Dancing with the Stars
Our favorite hit show returns once again this fall. Whether on ABC or Disney Plus, new judges (we will much miss the late Len Goodman), constantly changing celebrity casts, or hosts, with every rendition, we continue to watch with excitement. This season French Prince of Bel-Air and Season 19 winner Alfonso Ribeiro will host once again, but this time is joined by Julianne Hough. Hough has been part of the show as dancer, judge, and now co-host. The first cast member has been announced, and it’s Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules. Now, we can’t wait to hear the rest of the cast announcements!
