Welcome back to Hot Takes and Deep Dives, and before we jump into the interview with Fortune

Feemster, we must talk about Jenna Lyon's joining the new Roni.

So the thing that I keep reading is how much did they have to pay Jenna Lyon's to do

Roni, like why is she doing this, and what people don't know is a few things.

Number one, she is a huge housewives fan, number two, she wanted to be on Roni, and number

three, she is personal friends with Andy Cohen in the same way that Carol Radswell was

before she was cast.

And a lot of you reached out to me when Jenna was announced last week, because you might

remember back in March when they first announced the Roni split, I had two of my friends on

Melody Kamali and Carolyn Berge, who host the Diking Out podcast, because they did a live

podcast taping with Jenna Lyon's that I attended in which this was discussed on stage.

And it just so happens in the green room that the three of them had a very intimate conversation

about her desire to be on Roni, how she's friends with Andy Cohen.

I trimmed it down to just like two and a half minutes, so I can play that, because this

will give a lot of insight into what Jenna Lyon was thinking around this Roni thing.

So that's number one, I'm about to play that.

A prediction I have is I think they're going to air this revamped version of Roni, keep

who works, and then possibly add somebody like Luanne or Sonya back into the mix.

And I also think that it would be very smart at that point to throw in Lindsey Hubbard,

because at that point she and Carl will have filmed their wedding for the new season of

Summer House that would be filming in a summer, which I imagine would be their last season

of Summer House.
