Its really fun to passionately talk about things, OConnell says.
Bravo is my passion.
See what he picked and which coveted piece of iconicHousewivesmemorabilia he actually owns below.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was your initiation into the Bravo-verse?JERRY OCONNELL:It was New Jersey.
It was when Teresa Giudice flipped that table.
I really was hooked from that point on.
I dont know why I was laughing so hard.
I actually felt a little diabolical, that I was watching, potentially, people perish at sea.
I could not stop laughing.
I just found it to be hilarious.
It was just a cacophony of humor for me.
Youre going to witness some insane physical altercation involving dozens of people.
Its going to be a real show.
When you go to a Posche fashion show, youre not just going for the fashion.
Youre going for the madness.
…Patricias Winter Wonderland Ball or Dorindas Christmas in the Berkshires?Definitely Dorindas Christmas in the Berkshires.
She just makes it nice.
I would rather shovel manure than have to be an intern for Sonja.
And also, Id rather work at one of Lisa Vanderpumps restaurants.
Id get on that show Id get to party with James!
So I understand why everyone was so upset.
A super hot husband super hot.
I mean, arguably the hottest.
Trial storyline, then of course a divorce storyline, then a visiting-dad-in-prison storyline it had everything!
Maybe one of the best couple storylines inHousewiveshistory.
It wasnt as exciting as I thought it was going to be.
I apologize to everyone at Bravo.
I do have to keep it a little bit real.
I was expecting a lot, and I think I needed to manage my expectations a little bit.
Have you read it?
!I read it, and I actually obtained an actual copy of it.
Are you kidding me?
Its in, like, a glass case.
It has a dehumidifier next to it.
Are you kidding me?
I dont let my kids near it; I dont let anybody near it.
I take more care of that than I do my children.
I dust it… c’mon.
I got, like, a curator to come in and confirm theres no sun hitting it.
I dont want any of the pages fading.
I have Louvre-like security around it.
Are you Team Bethenny or Team Carole?My wife and I are team Carole.
Caroles always been sort of like a cat, you know?
Caroles like a tabby.
I think Bethenny is just too much for Carole.
I dont think B-Strong was into that too much, and I think that caused a rift.
This is what Im talking about.
This could be a three-hour interview about whats going on between Bethenny, Carole, and Adam.
I could do like a Ken Burns Vietnam-style documentary on Bethenny and Carole.
That will bemyCivil War documentary.
That was really fun to me.
Im actually sad that Melissa has not been chasing her recording artist dreams any longer.
Which Bravo one-season wonder do you wish you could revisit?Oh, you know Im anApres Skikinda guy!
Donde estaApres Ski?!
Brittany and Jax: Will they make it?Those two are gonna make it.
Were all rooting for them.
Thats our Meghan and Harry right there, for the United States.
I think those two are gonna make it.
Were all pulling for those crazy kids.
Had a lot of ups and downs, a few more downs than ups, but you know what?
More than we can say for a lot of people.
Theyre doing better than Brad and Angie.
