I always wanted to be an anchorman, but after college I wound up working behind the scenes at CBS News for 10 years.

Amy Sedaris makes me laugh harder than anybody.

The very idea of printing my diary has always struck me as completely superficial.

Ultimately, it's not my job to judge the 'Housewives' - we don't editorialize on the show; we really leave it to the audience. We have a certain wink, which is the Bravo wink. We may linger on a shot or we may let something play out longer, but we leave it to you.

Like when I host a party. I hope my guests get along. But if not, how interesting!

I started working at Bravo in 2005, when I was offered a job by Lauren Zalaznick, the network's chairman. She encouraged me to start a blog. I wrote behind-the-scenes gossip about 'Battle of the Network Reality Stars,' the first show I took on as head of current programming.

I learned a great deal about myself, and it forced me to be introspective in a way that I'm not typically, but "reporting" on my own life became emotionally exhausting.
