Summary

This week, Jason is joined by reality star, singer, model, actress, philanthropist, and author, Luann de Lesseps!

Luann was featured in the first 13 of 14 seasons of the Real Housewives of New York City and fan couldn’t get enough. She transformed her career as a nurse into becoming one of Bravo’s biggest stars, so big in fact, that she was named the number one housewife by TV Guide, surpassing all 46 housewives across the franchise cities. She has gone on to start her own Cabaret show “Countess and Friends” and her most recent television project, Luann and Sonia Welcome to Crappie Lake premiered on Bravo and Peacock.

Luann gives insight to how her fans inspired the name of her next tour, when she knew she became a household name, the journey of creating Cabaret and how it has adapted over the years, how she got into modeling, acting in Italy, how manifestation plays a role in confidence, a moment that truly stands out to her while working in unscripted TV, and the business plan behind starting Cabaret. Luann also reveals what has been the most lucrative for her, how she felt when she found out that the how was getting a full reboot, how people have missed opportunities because they haven’t followed their instincts, how she came up with Fosé and what happened to it, and how she is always moving forward. Did she have any hesitation in joining the show? How does she feel about Bethany Frankel’s movement on reality TV? Who does she have in common with Kristen Chenoweth, Bette Midler and Barbara Streisand?

Luann reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
