The NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Upfronts were held in New York City at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center. The upfronts are when networks reveal their fall season, or as how Ilan Hall of Knife Fight put it: "It's when networks bring all of their talent from their shows together to showcase what they've got."
That's exactly what the peacock network did, and it seemed as if some NBC celebrities were even startstruck by one another. "I love it. I feel like a kid all of a sudden," said Colony's Josh Holloway. Abby Elliott, of Odd Mom Out, was most impressed the stars of The Real Housewives of New York City. "I'm surrounded by Real Housewives! This is a first for me. I'm a big fan. That's my go-to with a glass of wine. I get into it. I feel like I'm one of them," she said laughing.
As for what the RHONY cast had to say about their next season: "People are really excited. The ratings are up. The show is doing well. The show got a little punch to the arm. It's funny," said star and Skinny Girl guru Bethenny Frankel. "We're a family, really. We bicker and fight, but at the end of the day, we have to live together. I've learned to put certain things aside and be a family," admitted The Countess LuAnn de Lesseps.
All the stars who showed were obviously energized and excited about this small screen big event. "What I always say about TV is that you don't work in TV, you get to work in TV--it's a privilege," said Andy Cohen of Watch What Happens Live.
