00:02She runs social for Valerie Cherish, and he probably leans more twink than bearish.
00:08It's What's What Happens Live with Ellis Diller and Zach Wickham now.
00:21Hey everybody, welcome to What's What Happens Live.
00:24I'm your host Andy Cohen, live in the Bravo Clubhouse on Shotsky Night.
00:28And boy do I need it.
00:29My first guest is a clubhouse newbie who we hope will come back.
00:32And the comeback also happens to be the show she stars on.
00:36Catch the series finale Sunday at 10.30 on HBO and HBO Max.
00:40Give it up for Bravo superfan Ellis Diller.
00:43Hi Ella.
00:46And from the Valley, say hi to Zach Wickham.
00:49Hey Zach.
00:51Hey guys, do me a favor.
00:53Grab your phone and head on over to www.whl.tv
00:57because we have a lot of polls coming your way in just a second.
01:00Don't forget to send me your questions on threads at Bravo Andy.
01:03You can tweet me at Andy for Ella and Zach all night long.
01:06Let's get to it.
01:07First of all, I have to say what a full circle moment this is.
01:10Because your dad, Ben Stiller, brought you to the show to meet Erica Jane
01:15because you were such a huge Housewives fan.
01:17Yeah, but worth noting, per his request, I got the text,
01:21will you come with me to meet Erica Jane?
01:23I love what happens to that.
01:24He made it like he was doing it for you.
01:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27And I did that for him.
01:28Yes, okay.
01:28I let him have that.
01:29Okay.
01:30And then imagine this, that years later she's starring in the comeback
01:34and you're here as a guest.
01:35So what a wonderful full circle moment.
01:38I'm so happy.
01:39Zach tells me that you went to sleepaway camp with Natalie from Vanderpump Rules.
01:45Yes, I did.
01:46Which is amazing.
01:47I did, yeah.
01:48The intersections are crazy.
01:49It's all happening.
01:50Zach, Edith Y wants to know what you made of Janet
01:52joking that you guys are BFFs after you had one talk.
01:56I'm going to assume that my reaction is exactly how everybody else feels.
02:01I was a little shocked.
02:03All right.
02:04My wet hole purse.
02:05Well, let's get into it.
02:06It is time to...
02:07Work the wall!
02:09First up on WWHL.TV, do you think Tom Schwartz and Kiana are endgame, yes or no?
02:17They were here a week or two ago.
02:19What do you think, Zach?
02:20I honestly do.
02:21They match each other's energy.
02:23They match each other's kind of maturity level, everything.
02:26I think they're actually really well-suited.
02:29The audience disagrees from what they've seen so far.
02:33Speaking of, Kiana, keeping your sunglasses on inside, hot or not?
02:38Not.
02:39Not.
02:40Zach?
02:40She regrets it, but...
02:42She does.
02:42I agree.
02:43She already regrets it.
02:45I love you, Kiana.
02:45I'm sorry.
02:45Right.
02:46Well, she's been on one episode of the show and she already regrets things.
02:49The audience is saying not.
02:51And I agree.
02:53They were a lovely couple, though.
02:54And she's so beautiful.
02:56Next up, we want to know, will Zach and Janet's friendship truce last?
03:00Yes or no?
03:01Ella, what do you think?
03:02I think yes.
03:03I hope.
03:04Oh, no.
03:06Uh-oh.
03:06Uh-oh.
03:07No, no, no.
03:08She hopes for the rest.
03:10So innocent.
03:10Um, the audience, this is a landslide here.
03:13Uh, no, 97%.
03:16Very good.
03:17Uh, okay.
03:18Kristen thought so tonight, but what do you think?
03:22Is Zach a flip-flopper?
03:23Yes or no?
03:24Ella, I know you're sitting next to him, but from what you've seen so far...
03:28You know what?
03:30I'm going to go with no.
03:31I can see where it would come from, but I think in the last couple episodes that you've
03:34really, like, been good at standing your ground.
03:37Yeah.
03:38So no.
03:39Uh, the audience says yes.
03:40Oh, wow.
03:41Wow.
03:42Thank you for voting, everybody.
03:47Over at the bar, he's the reason I can see the words I'm reading on my teleprompter right
03:51now.
03:52But even without cataract surgery, I could tell he wasn't bad on the eyes.
03:56Say hi to my eye doctor, Dr. Samir Jabbour.
03:59Dr. Jabbour.
04:01Great to see you.
04:02Great to see you, Taraji.
04:03Dr. Jabbour operated on my eye twice.
04:08Twice.
04:08And I'm still not over it.
04:10It was actually shocking to me.
04:13It was a shocking experience.
04:15For you.
04:16Yes.
04:17He said I moved around too much the first time.
04:21You did.
04:22I did.
04:22I did.
04:23He really got in there.
04:24It was crazy.
04:26Anyway, you're going to do my right eye now.
04:28Very serious.
04:28Is it harder to operate on someone with horribly crossed eyes like me?
04:33I mean, you have complicated eyes.
04:35Right.
04:36But, fortunately, you have a great character.
04:41I have a great character.
04:42He's easier.
04:42Compensation.
04:43Well, now you're talking to me like I'm a mentally challenged, cross-eyed person.
04:49I have a great...
04:50Do you pity me?
04:52No.
04:52Okay.
04:53I do like you a lot.
04:55Okay.
04:55As a patient.
04:56Oh, my God.
04:56Okay.
04:56On the comeback, Ella's character was stung by a bee hiding in her breakfast sandwich.
05:01But when it comes to the latest Bravo buzz, we hope she won't hide any of her hot takes.
05:07It's time for a round of Be Stiller, My Bravo Heart.
05:09Okay, in the Valley, would a 16-year age gap like that between Schwartz and Kiana concern you?
05:16So, as, like, a girl who loves an age gap...
05:19You do.
05:19Usually, no.
05:20Good.
05:20I do, too.
05:21But Schwartz, come on.
05:23Okay.
05:23Let's start moving up in the world.
05:25Okay.
05:25What kind of guy do you want to see Michelle date next?
05:28I think Michelle needs to be with, like, a really, like, serious guy who's into her so much and who
05:35respects her.
05:36I think we need to start changing it up.
05:38Thoughts on Britney's new boyfriend, Brandon?
05:41Oh, okay.
05:41I can't deal with that.
05:42Okay.
05:44What do you make of Jessie's girlfriend, Lacey, now that we finally get to see her?
05:48Okay, my first impression was, like, oh, no, this is not my kind of girl.
05:51But then, I'm obsessed with her.
05:54Okay.
05:54I'm obsessed.
05:55Zach, what do you think?
05:56I am obsessed with Lacey.
05:57She's a carbon copy of me and Kristen, which can be a good or a bad thing to some people.
06:01But for me, it's a great thing, and I love her so much.
06:04Okay.
06:04Yeah, she's awesome, I think.
06:05Okay, very good.
06:07Now that Zach and Janet have made up, is it time for Nia and Kristen to make peace?
06:12I don't know.
06:14What do you think?
06:14No, what do you think?
06:15I don't know.
06:16By the way, what did you think of Danny tonight?
06:19Oh, oh.
06:21I think there's some, this, that was a tough watch for me.
06:26When you catch a couple in those little nitpicky moments, it's never going to come off good.
06:31Obviously, it wasn't the best portrayal of him.
06:34I know that there's good sides, too, but it definitely wasn't the best moments.
06:41Beverly Hills, is there a path forward for Kyle and Dorit?
06:44I don't, I think it's over.
06:46I'm sadly heartbreaking.
06:48Were you happy to see Rachel Zoe return to Bravo?
06:50Yes, of course.
06:51All right, thank you, Ella.
06:53When Zach walked in on Kristen getting waxed, he said he saw full flaps, and we hope his answers
06:59will be just as revealing tonight.
07:00As we play Trim the Wickham, Zach, your pals will pop up on various candles for each person.
07:05Tell us something or someone they should trim from their lives immediately, starting with
07:12Janet.
07:13Okay, I think that Janet should, you know what, this would be advantageous to her and to me,
07:19if she would just trim those voices from her head, I think we'd be better.
07:24Okay.
07:26Next up is Kristen.
07:30Kristen, I would like her to trim the self-doubt.
07:32Okay.
07:33She really could use that.
07:34Next up, Danny.
07:38Danny really needs to trim when he's in those toxic male behavior moments.
07:44He just needs to trim that from his life, and I think he'd be a lot happier.
07:47Brittany.
07:48Well, Brittany already trimmed the boyfriend from her life, so now I don't have to worry
07:52about that anymore.
07:52Do you ever see, oh, right, and do you ever see Jax?
07:55I do not, but maybe other people on our cast have.
08:00But I would say for Brittany, besides the boyfriend, maybe if she just, you know, trimmed a couple
08:07friendships that aren't mine or Kristen's, I think we'd be great.
08:11All right, we're going to leave it there.
08:13Thank you, Zach.
08:14Zach didn't stay in the baby house on the group trip, but Janet did say his future child could
08:19room in her womb.
08:20And now we're going to see who my guests could conceive rooming with on a vacation in a game
08:25of Roomie for Improvement.
08:26I'm going to show you guys a pair of some Bravo liberties, and when I count down from
08:30three, yell out who you would rather bunk with, and we'll see if your answers match.
08:34Fun.
08:35Okay, who would you rather, Kristen Doty or Janet?
08:39Three, two, one.
08:41Kristen.
08:42Okay, who would you rather room with, Sheena Shea or Lala Kent?
08:46Three, two, one.
08:48Lala.
08:49Okay, who would you rather room with, Michelle or Brittany?
08:53Three, two, one.
08:55Brittany.
08:56Okay, who would you rather room with, Tom Schwartz or Tom Sandoval?
09:00Three, two, one.
09:01Schwartzy.
09:02Yeah, Schwartz.
09:03I'm actually wearing his name.
09:04Schwartz.
09:04Who would you rather room with, Jason or Luke?
09:09Three, two, one.
09:10Luke.
09:11I guess I would say Luke, but like maybe Jason.
09:13I don't know.
09:14Okay.
09:15You know.
09:15Who would you rather room with, Vanderbump or Erika Jayne?
09:20Three, two, one.
09:21Erika Jayne.
09:36Erika Jayne.
09:38Oh, it's the Shotsky siren.
09:41Boy, do I need this.
09:44Come on over, guys.
09:46Come on over, guys.
09:47Come on.
09:49Let's do this together.
09:50You're going to need to lean down, my man.
09:52Okay.
09:53One, two, three.
09:55One, two, three.
09:58All right.
10:00You can get your own Shotsky at ShotByGrawler.com.
10:04Coming up, we're with Ella and Zach.
10:07Stay here to be there for tomorrow night's show.
10:09Casey Wilson is here with Andrew Rannells at 10 after the miniature wife.
10:15Don't go anywhere.
10:17We're going to be right back.
10:28Not very big.
10:29Well, this is what they do now.
10:31It only has to be big enough to look big in the influencer's camera.
10:35Oh, okay.
10:36Well, I've been working on my statement for, you know, when they asked me about the AI.
10:40So how does this sound?
10:42Well, AI is a valuable new tool being used to help writers free up their full potential.
10:50I'll say it better.
10:52Yeah.
10:52Who wrote that for you, Jackie B.T.?
10:55Okay, Jane.
10:55Not now.
10:56I've got to face a firing squad.
10:58Look okay?
10:59Amazing.
11:01That was Ella Stiller in the comeback.
11:04Series finale are Sunday at 10.30 on HBO and HBO Max.
11:09Welcome back to Watch What Happens Live.
11:11I'm Andy Cohen, live in the Bravo Club.
11:13I was also here with Zach Wickham in the Valley.
11:18Over at the bar, it's my eye doctor, Dr. Samir Jabbour, who...
11:23As he squints, I think called me, like, unique and difficult, and he likes my character.
11:31I think that's what you said.
11:32Was that correct?
11:34That's correct.
11:35Right.
11:35Trying to be nice.
11:37You're trying to be nice.
11:38Wow, trying.
11:39Wow.
11:40Dr. Jabbour.
11:41This is the show.
11:43This is savage.
11:44I mean, I can't...
11:45This is not how I thought this was going to turn out.
11:48That you were going to roast me.
11:50Okay.
11:51All right.
11:52You're still going to do my right eye on the 26th.
11:54Absolutely.
11:55Okay.
11:57All right.
11:57And it's going to be easier than that last procedure.
11:59Okay, good.
12:01Drinking game reminder, if you're 21 or over, anytime you hear this word, drink until unlike me,
12:06your vision's blurred.
12:07By the way, I texted him after the last thing, and I was like, can I have a tequila?
12:14He was like, I guess so.
12:17Say questions for our fans.
12:19In studio, it's Lisa from Los Angeles.
12:22What's your question for Ella Stiller?
12:24Hi, everyone.
12:25Ella, if you had to switch a celebrity father for the day, who would you choose?
12:30Adam Sandler, Owen Wilson, or Vince Vaughn?
12:33Mm.
12:34Okay.
12:35Wow, what a good...
12:36It's kind of a weird question.
12:37Yeah, it is.
12:38Okay.
12:39For any reason.
12:40Or me.
12:40Put me in the mix.
12:42Oh, Andy, obviously.
12:44And then probably Adam Sandler is second.
12:46Yes.
12:47Okay.
12:47Probably the most familiar by Jewish.
12:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:50Jew on Jew.
12:51We just got a...
12:51Yeah.
12:52I get it.
12:52Yes.
12:53I'm a special character.
12:58Now let's go to McKenna and Ellen from Rochester with a virtual question for Zach.
13:05Hi, Andy.
13:06You're king.
13:07We're so excited to be here.
13:09Ellen and Zach, you both look amazing.
13:12But our question is for Zach.
13:13Okay.
13:15Zach, since saying that you wanted to see actions over words with Janet,
13:20has she been able to show you recently that she's a good and loyal friend?
13:25What I will say is that you will see the rest of the season play out,
13:28and I'll just let you be the deciding voice of if that was actually what she did
13:36or did not do by the end of the season.
13:38Okay.
13:38Sounds like no.
13:39We have a lot to discuss at the reunion.
13:41Thanks, fans.
13:42Diamond L said, Ella on text,
13:46have you watched Next Gen NYC after everyone on the set of The Comeback encouraged you to watch it?
13:50Yes.
13:51Laura Silverman was a huge Next Gen NYC fan.
13:54She got me on it, and then Gia had me on her podcast.
13:57No way.
13:58And that was, like, the most exciting thing ever for me.
14:01I was so excited about that.
14:03That's great.
14:03She's lovely, Gia.
14:04She's lovely.
14:05Yes.
14:05Yeah.
14:06Oh, that's great.
14:08Were you a big Comeback fan before going on the show?
14:11Yes.
14:11So how incredible.
14:12It was just the craziest thing ever.
14:14Like, I really feel like I experienced the show as a fan and was,
14:19because I was filming Lisa so much, too, on it, on the show,
14:23I, like, felt like I was still watching her.
14:25It was amazing.
14:26It was crazy.
14:26Zach, Olivia S. said,
14:28how do you personally feel Luke is handling postpartum Kristen?
14:35Um, I try to, as Kristen's best friend,
14:39and as, you know, someone that's become very close with him,
14:42I want the best for them.
14:43Do I think he always handles things the best way?
14:47Clearly not.
14:48Um, I think he's trying the best he can,
14:50and I just, I just try to give him the best advice I can to, you know,
14:55get them on the same page.
14:57Very good.
14:58What's the best advice you can give me about how not to, like,
15:03spoil my child growing up in New York City,
15:06the kid of someone who's, like, famous?
15:09Oh, I don't know.
15:11Just be normal.
15:13What did your parents do for you?
15:14They were normal.
15:15They were just normal.
15:16Yeah.
15:16Okay, good.
15:17Just normal.
15:17I mean, you know, as normal as possible.
15:19I think you're normal.
15:20Yeah, I'm, I have a special character.
15:21Yeah, exactly.
15:23I was like, I don't know if everyone would agree.
15:26Um, there were nine years between season one and season two of The Comeback
15:31and 12 years between season two and season three,
15:34but since there are 16 years between Schwartz and his girlfriend, Kiana,
15:38it's time to play Mind the Age Gap.
15:41Okay, guys, for each celebrity couple,
15:42I show you, guess, how many years apart they are in age,
15:45and whoever's the closest without going over gets the point.
15:48I love this.
15:49Okay, first, Sharon Alexander-Edwards.
15:52What is the age gap?
15:54Ella Stiller.
15:55Oh, my God.
15:56Um, I'm going to say, like, 35.
16:00Okay, Zach Wickham.
16:0127?
16:02It is 40.
16:04Ella gets the point.
16:05Leonardo DiCaprio and Camilla Marrone.
16:08Ella Stiller.
16:09Uh, 28.
16:11Uh, Zach Wickham.
16:12Um, I'm going to say 30.
16:14It is 23.
16:16Okay, now you both overbid.
16:18Al Pacino and Nora Alfala.
16:20Um, Ella.
16:22Um, uh, 45.
16:25Zach Wickham.

16:34Ella is on a journey through the Potomac Housewives now.
16:37Ella, what's the age gap?
16:4022.
16:41Uh, Zach.
16:42Is it 15?
16:44It's 17.
16:45Zach gets the point.
16:46Jay-Z and Beyonce.
16:48Ella Stiller.
16:49Oh, I don't, I should probably know this.
16:51Okay.
16:5212?
16:52Uh, Zach.
16:53I'm going to guess the same as Tom and Kiana.
16:5516.
16:56It's 12.
16:56Ella gets the point.
16:58Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas.

17:09Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
17:12Ella Stiller.

17:17Ella gets the point.
17:18Elton, John, and David Furnish.
17:20What's the age gap, Ella Stiller?
17:2330.
17:24Zach.
17:2520?
17:2615.
17:27Neither of you get the point, but Ella wins the game.
17:30Thanks for playing.
17:31After the break, we've got more of these two.
17:33And my mazel of the day.
17:35We will be right back.
17:36Come on.
17:36Come on.
17:38Come on.
17:38Come on.
17:48All right.
17:53Welcome back to What's Back to the Drive.
17:55I'm Andy here with Ella, Zach, and Dr. Jabor at the bar.
18:01My eye doctor who said, I have complicated eyes, but great character, and that I'm a complicated
18:08patient.
18:08Is that because, is it, are my eyes complicated because they are crossed?
18:14No, because you're really nearsighted.
18:17Right.
18:18Yes.
18:18I'm very nearsighted.
18:19And you had advanced cataracts.
18:21Yes.
18:21And I had advanced cataracts.
18:22I waited a long time, remember?
18:23I waited a long time.
18:24You did.
18:25I waited a long time?
18:26You did.
18:26Well, I come to y'all regularly, so I feel like that might be a you thing, Dr. Jabor.
18:34But, okay, we'll leave it at that.
18:37Shannon Stern on Twitter said, Zach, who surprised you the most at BravoCon in both the best and
18:45worst ways?
18:46I'm seated for this answer.
18:48The best way was Ayaan.
18:50She was the absolute nicest person.
18:54Yeah.
18:54She and I really connected, and we, like, literally, I always say this, if our voice notes on DMs
19:02ever leaked, it'd be problematic.
19:04Yes.
19:04And who surprised you in the worst way at BravoCon?
19:11Um, so, just certain, okay, you know what?
19:15Never mind.
19:16Gretchen.
19:17I was like, she just, I was not about it.
19:19She tried to come up to me, and I was like, girl, you can stop right there, and I walked
19:24off.
19:24Wow.
19:25And I don't mean that in a mean way, but I do, so.
19:27Okay, yeah.
19:28I mean, you don't mean it in a nice way, of course.
19:32Yes.
19:32So I do mean it in a mean way.
19:33Okay.
19:34Ella told me before, she goes to every Bravo event, like, not every Bravo event, but,
19:39like, she'll go to, if Tom Sandoval is at City Winery.
19:43Yeah, yeah, just last month, Tom Sandoval, VIP meet and greet, paid for, meet Tom Sandoval,
19:49Jackson Schwartz at City Winery, Boston, the year before, um, all of it.
19:54You know, I do my best to meet everyone.
19:57Yes.
19:57It's time for my mazel of the day.
19:59It goes to our beloved Archie Bedore, who has been diagnosed with brain cancer.
20:04Thankfully, Shannon already has them scheduled to see the best doggy neurologist and oncologist
20:08in the business.
20:10Archie has so many fans, he even won a Bravo award last year at BravoCon, which got the
20:14biggest applause of the night.
20:16A true testament to how loved Archie is.
20:19We are sending big hugs and positivity to the entire Bedore family.
20:23We love you, Archie Bedore.
20:25However, tonight's jackal goes to the paparazzi who caught Hudson Williams trying to get home
20:31at 6 a.m. from a Met Gala after party, and we are not going to show the footage.
20:36You know, God forbid a grown adult stays out late and has a good time at a party, and I
20:43swear I'm not just standing up for Hudson, because I'm still bitter that the paparazzi snapped
20:48me doing this.
20:54Um, do you guys want to leave that photo up a little longer?
20:58I mean, oh, thank you.
21:00That is so kind.
21:01Wow, it's just real.
21:02And my eye doctor just laughs and laughs.
21:05I want to thank Ellis Stiller, Zach Wickham, and Dr. Jawor for being here.
21:10The word of the night was Janet, who said it eight times, and you've been under the influence,
21:14no drinking.
21:16Tomorrow night, Casey Wilson and Admiral Reynolds at 10 after the minute of your life.
21:20Well done, guys.
