The novelty of celebrities revealing they enjoy watching Bravo has long worn off. Like, duh, entertainers should enjoy the chaos of Bravo. It’s called real recognizing real. Stars probably peep the fact that half of the tragedies unraveled on Bravo are more Shakespearean than what scripted projects can conceive. So, while I love seeing A-listers like Cynthia Erivo (correctly) yearn for a Nene renaissance, I’m holding other fans, like Jon Hamm and his millionaire toes, to the fire for their bad Bravo hot takes. Like, sorry, not sorry, but when it comes to Bravo, my first thought remains: why would a straight man be here? Maybe I’m feeling sensitive because just when I thought we’d banished Michael Rapaport’s sassy ass, he’s back to bite on Traitors. So, for the strict Bravo bitches everywhere, I have to dissect Jon Hamm’s Bravo fan opinions.
P.S. Jon (can I call you Jon Jon?), if you see this, the door is always open to clear your name in a thorough Bravo interrogation hosted by me.
Jon Hamm’s Real Housewives Hot Takes on Watch What Happens Live
The real trouble began when Jon appeared on WWHL in February 2025, and Andy invited him to tout his Housewives knowledge. But Jon’s takes weren’t just hot… they were fiery white stabs to my Bravo-loving heart.
Jon started off okay by saying Kyle and Dorit should make up (whatever), got worse by saying Boz was “a little weird” for befriending Dorit so quickly (sorry, girl, that’s called sisterhood. I’ve attended birthday parties of bitches I’ve met in the bathroom!), and ultimately made my head spin 360 degrees when he said Kyle’s secret texts to PK “didn’t seem like that big of a deal.” Sir, this ain’t Mad Men, low-key sabotage is not chill, so when it’s discovered, it’s a criminal offense.
And, in Real Housewives land, fucking with someone’s husband ranks particularly high: above acting up at a business venture launch but below talking about someone’s kids. Perhaps it doesn’t work that way in bro code, but this is an institution where accountability is demanded down to scented candle choices!!
Jon Hamm’s Favorite Bravolebrities

Then, Jon sat down with West Wilson for Complex. West asked Jon for his Mount Rushmore of Bravolebrities, and no, we don’t have time to talk about the apparent fact that West didn’t brush his hair for the interview with an Emmy-Award-winner, because Jon chose violence with his BONKERS BANANAS answer.
Jon started by crowning, “Good ol’ Shep Rose, man,” an answer Jon expected West “to vibe on.” Straight men vibing over Shep Rose? It was then that I knew I had found myself in enemy territory. Shep making Jon’s top four even shocked West, FFS. Jon went on to explain he felt bad for the “poor guy,” a sentiment no woman who has watched 60 seconds of Southern Charm would ever utter. Next, Jon named Craig because he thinks Craig would “be a pretty good actor,” and he loves watching “those boys grow up.” Beloved, Shep Rose is a gentle 44-year-old. Craig is now 36.
Jon then decided to pivot his Mount Rushmore to finally consider a Real Housewife, and he landed on…. Kathy Hilton?!? Yes, I FW Honky Dory, but what Bravoholic worth their salt is putting Kathy in the HOF after a handful of seasons, most performed as a friend of??? I have so many questions.
Jon Hamm’s Favorite Bravo Show

Jon said his favorite reality show is Southern Charm, which, all things considered, is understandable. The problematic but entertaining lore of the franchise was even good enough fodder for the third season of White Lotus. But Jon’s “why” instantly made me itch. He loves SC because the show is “about these three dumbass, glorious dummies…bumbling their way through their own lives,” as opposed to the other Bravo series that are all “about the women.”
Jon likes Shep, Craig, and Austen’s shenanigans because they remind him of his own glory days. Jon wants to “hit them in the head” (relatable) and hug them (less relatable). I mean, God forbid women dominate an industry, for literally once!
