11 Insanely Powerful and Motivational Videos For Your Team

As you take your seat for another Monday morning meeting, it’s likely that you look around the room and see a lot of unexcited faces.

One thing I believe our company does better than 95% of other companies is the way our leaders motivate the employees around them. Each Monday at noon, we hold a “Sensei Session”. These company-wide meetings are a way for our CEO to give company announcements and for anyone in the company to come up and give a presentation on something they’re really passionate about.

Most of our Sensei topics involve personal development, goal setting, nutrition, or productivity hacking, and almost all of them include a motivational video clip. The impact these meetings have on the entire team is invaluable, and your company would benefit greatly from holding your own version of the “Sensei Session”.

The videos below have been used during Sensei’s, retreats, and a variety of planning sessions to help our team get in the zone and “crush it”. So I wanted to compile all of our favorites into 1 post that you can use to help you and your employees feel inspired. Use them to kick off or end a meeting, or send your favorites around the office to help boost everyone’s energy – we also use Bonusly at SnackNation to share positive/motivational messages to improve employee recognition and appreciation. These inspiring & sometimes funny motivational videos for work might just be the exact thing your team needs!

Free bonus: For a simple guide to strategies you can use in the office and with remote teams, request a FREE copy of 20 Simple Ways to Increase Motivation in the Workplace ! This downloadable is chock full of easy-to-follow ideas that work for teams of all sizes.

How Incredibly Successful People THINK

Brendon Buchard is a  New York Times Best Selling Author and motivational speaker. If you haven’t read Brendon’s book  The Charge , I highly recommend it. This is one of my favorite clips on his YouTube channel, which talks about the difference in mindset between a successful person and an unsuccessful person.

Favorite quotes from this video:

“Success has been figured out – it’s a mindset game.”

“Successful people say ‘I want to do that, but I don’t know how to do that’, but instead of stopping they say ‘then my job is to go learn that’. They take their current limitation and they put it on their agenda as a job to do”.

The Puzzle of Motivation

Are you looking for great team building videos? Dan Pink’s awesome TED Talk above is something that every leader and manager on your team needs to watch. It will challenge your understanding of what motivates people, especially in the workplace.

Favorite quote from this video:

“There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does.”

“That new operating system for our businesses revolves around three elements: Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose.”

Why Do We Fall

Failure is inevitable in both personal and professional life. What matters isn’t IF you fail… it’s how you respond to that failure. Do you learn from your failures and move forward, or does failure become an excuse to give up entirely?

“Don’t be afraid to fail. You can’t always win, but don’t be afraid of making decisions.”

“If you are not making someone else’s life better, you’re wasting your time.”

Greatness Within

Les Brown is one of my favorite motivational speakers and this video is a compilation of great sound bytes from him.

“A lot of people go to work everyday miserable, and all they do is just talk about is how miserable they are. But they don’t do anything about it.”

“You’ve got remind yourself that you’ve got powers within you, talents within you, that you haven’t even reached for yet.”

The Happiness Advantage

One of my absolute favorite videos on what happiness truly means. I’ve watched this video at least 10 times and it’s still as impactful as the first time I watched it. Shawn is an amazing storyteller and his light-hearted humor is very engaging.

“If happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there.”

“We’re finding it’s not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.”

“What we found is that only 25% of job successes are predicted by I.Q. 75% of job successes are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support, and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat.”

Prove Them Wrong

If you’ve ever had someone tell you that you can’t do something, that your dreams are unrealistic, or that your goals are too high then this video will strike a chord with you. Are you and your team willing to fail over and over again to get to the next level? To be better tomorrow than you are today? Some teamwork videos for employees are just fluff – this one is not.

“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.”

A Pep Talk From Kid President to You

If you can watch this video without cracking a smile, you might be a robot. There are a lot of good lessons and laughs in this one. Enjoy!

“Boring is easy, everybody can be boring. But you’re gooder than that.”

“It’s like that dude Journey said, don’t stop believing, unless your dream is stupid. Then you should get a better dream.”

How Bad Do You Want It?

We all claim to want success, but how much are we really willing to sacrifice to achieve it? This one is a staple for our Sales Team an amazing team motivation video.

“Most of you say you want to be successful, but you don’t want it bad. You just kind of want it. You don’t want it badder than you want to party, you don’t want it is as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep.”

“If you’re going to be successful, you’ve got to be willing to give up sleep.”

This video has over 22 million views on YouTube, and it’s for good reason. I challenge you to watch this and not feel like you’re ready to tackle your goals or finish that project you keep pushing off.

 Favorite quote from this video:

“Greatness is not this wonderful, esoteric, ellusive, god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste. It’s something that truly exists in all of us.”

How To Stay Focused

Another great clip from Brendon. Focus is another crucial element that successful people prioritize.

“Make fewer decisions… the more decisions that we make, the more our brain becomes fatigued.”

“You must define your mission. You need to have a mission for what you’re going to do today. What happens is that most people show up and they go ‘ok, well I guess I’ll do some stuff’, but they have no intention whatsoever so they end up doing too many things that mean nothing towards their mission.”

Start With Why

Simon Sinek is another amazing public speaker who will get you and your employees motivated . The video above is a shorter excerpt from Simon’s TED talk that argues that Why you do something comes before What and How you do it. Great & short motivational videos help win the battles in business.

“People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”

Impose Your Will

A projected first round draft pick in the NFL on the verge of becoming a multimillionaire loses everything in the blink of an eye when a head-to-head hit changed Inky Johnson’s life forever. This motivational video is perfect for anyone working that feels like they are starting to burn out. Inky has a way of talking that leaves you fired up and ready to run through a wall. Trust me.

“The process saved my life.”

Inspirational videos for work can be the perfect remedy to get you and your team out of an energy funk and into a golden mindset. Hopefully you found a new favorite video that you can bookmark to watch again later when you’re in need of a pick-me-up.

I cannot wait to share some of these videos with the team! What great inspiration!

Thanks Morgan!

Awesome compilation, Emil. Bookmarked!

Thanks Chris, glad you found this post useful 🙂

Great list! I thought this might be a good addition 🙂

“The Guy Who Came Back…” https://vimeo.com/161004370

Thanks Daniel. I had a chance to checkout your video – awesome! Love what you’re doing as a motivational speaker.

Great aggregation of content Emil (start with why is one of my motto now). When I failed to achieve my team goals, I realized that it’s because there was a lack of team member motivation, which then turned out to be a lack of clear expectations for each team member. I documented my mistake here: http://wp.me/p7bhAc-J

Thanks Dawn 🙂 And thank you for sharing your experience with setting proper expectations. That’s very valuable for our readers.

Love this! I’ve decided to completely change how I run my meetings – I’m going to show one of these at the start of each.  Recently had some out of office days at OFFSITE NYC with the team, have started to use the list they gave for how to structure a meeting, really helpful stuff. –

Thanks for sharing valuable list…

This is truly inspiring stuff! Thank you!!! I live by this stuff and love finding new ways to inspire my workers!!

This is a refreshing change when it comes to motivating your employees. It is true that employees often react differently to all types of media – data power points, hands-on experiences, motivational speakers, and of course, video! Implementing videos such as these into a motivational sales meeting could really boost your sales team’s drive to sell more and be a better employee. Thank you for sharing.

Nice. This blog is very perfect and usefully information

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful post. This is a refreshing change when it comes to motivating your employees.

Happiness is not a coincidence, it is not given to you by life, it’s entirely our responsibility.” — Mo Gawdat

“People tend to burden themselves with so many choices. But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision: Do you want to be happy, or do you not want to be happy? It’s really that simple.

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.” — Eckhart Tolle

“I’ve learned that there is nothing more consistent with unhappiness than spending your time in a way that doesn’t serve who you are … there is no more profound source of fulfillment and happiness than knowing you are traveling your own path…” — Scott Dinsmore

“Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to ‘be happy.’ Once the reason is found, however, one becomes happy automatically. As we see, a human being is not one in pursuit of happiness but rather in search of a reason to become happy…” — Viktor Frankl

“Happiness comes from what we do. Fulfillment comes from why we do it.” — Simon Sinek

“The happiest people I know found something they loved and went for it.” — Dan Harris

“Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” — Helen Keller

“Stop hoping for happiness tomorrow. Happiness is being engaged in the process.” — Helen Morales

“The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones who spend more time than others in a state of flow.” — Héctor García and Francesc Miralles

“Could we but fulfil our best selves we should ask no other happiness.” — W. J. Dawson

“But what is happiness except for the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?” — Albert Camus

“As an afterthought, it seems hardly proper to write of life without once mentioning happiness; so we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?” — Hunter S. Thompson

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.” — Dalai Lama

“The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.” — Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Now, what, then, will be happiness? And happiness, of course, is such a vague word, so let’s say well-being. And so, I think the best definition, according to the Buddhist view, is that well-being is not just a mere pleasurable sensation. It is a deep sense of serenity and fulfillment. A state that actually pervades and underlies all emotional states, and all the joys and sorrows that can come one’s way.” — Matthieu Ricard

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” — Denis Waitley

“You have everything you need for happiness, right now … Happiness is realizing the world around us, no matter where we are, is a miracle, is beautiful and filled with sources of joy. Do you have eyes? Then you have the tools to enjoy the sky, the water, greenery, people — all miracles, all wonderful. Do you have ears? You have the tools to enjoy music, and laughter, and conversation. Do you have taste buds? You are blessed with a symphony of wonders … These are the tools for happiness. Use them, and realize you are blessed beyond belief.” — Leo Babauta

“Do you want to be happy? Uninterrupted happiness is uncaused. True happiness is uncaused. You cannot make me happy. You are not my happiness. You say to the awakened person, ‘Why are you happy?’ and the awakened person replies, ‘Why not?’ Happiness is our natural state.” — Anthony de Mello

“Happiness is a default state. It’s what’s there when you remove the sense that something is missing from your life.” — Naval Ravikant

“When you go through life with preferences but don’t let your happiness depend on any one of them, then you’re awake. You’re moving toward wakefulness. Wakefulness, happiness—call it what you wish—is the state of nondelusion, where you see things not as you are but as they are, insofar as this is possible for a human being.” — Anthony de Mello

“You don’t have to do anything to acquire happiness. The great Meister Eckhart said very beautifully, ‘God is not attained by a process of addition to anything in the soul, but by a process of subtraction.’ You don’t do anything to be free, you drop something. Then you’re free.” — Anthony de Mello

“Don’t seek happiness. If you seek it, you won’t find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. Happiness is ever elusive, but freedom from unhappiness is attainable now, by facing what is rather than making up stories about it. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of wellbeing and inner peace, the source of true happiness.” — Eckhart Tolle

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” — Albert Camus

“There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” — Thich Nhat Hanh

“There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.” — Siddhārtha Gautama

“You become happy by contact with reality. That’s what brings happiness, a moment-by-moment contact with reality. That’s where you’ll find God; that’s where you’ll find happiness.” — Anthony de Mello

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man … Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living right now.” — Paulo Coelho

“Peace is happiness at rest, and happiness is peace in motion. You can convert peace to happiness any time you want, but peace is want you want most of the time … If you’re a peaceful person, anything you do will be a happy activity.” — Naval Ravikant

“Happiness is the space between one desire being fulfilled and a new desire forming.” — Caed Budris

“Nothing can satisfy the ego for long. As long as it runs your life, there are two ways of being unhappy. Not getting what you want is one. Getting what you want is the other.” — Eckhart Tolle

“To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence.” — Matt Haig

“Don’t seek that all that comes about should come about as you wish, but wish that everything that comes about should come about just as it does, and then you’ll have a calm and happy life.” — Epictetus

“Happiness is a function of accepting what is.” — Werner Erhard

“Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness.” — Eckhart Tolle

“Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest.” — Sri Chinmoy

“On the whole, the happiest people seem to be those who have no particular cause for being happy except that they are so.” — William R. Inge

“We need to start by understanding that true happiness is not reflected in the modern world’s view of it being fun, elation or laughter. Happiness is finding peace and being OK with life exactly as it is.” — Mo Gawdat

“There are many more ordinary hours in life than extraordinary ones. We wait in line at the supermarket. We spend hours commuting to work. We water our plants and feed our pets. Happiness means finding a moment of joy in those ordinary hours.” — Haemin Sunim

“The true secret of happiness lies in the taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.” — William Morris

“It’s the moments that I stopped just to be, rather than do, that have given me true happiness.” — Richard Branson

“Many poets and sages throughout the ages have observed that true happiness – I call it the joy of Being – is found in simple, seemingly unremarkable things. Most people, in their restless search for something significant to happen to them, continuously miss the insignificant, which may not be insignificant at all.” — Eckhart Tolle

“For happiness, how little suffices for happiness! … the least thing precisely, the gentlest thing, the lightest thing, a lizard’s rustling, a breath, a wisk, an eye glance – little maketh up the best happiness.” — Nietzsche

“There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don’t live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.” — Eckhart Tolle

“For unenlightened people, not every day is a good day, because they feel happy only when things happen the way they want them to. For enlightened people, every single day is a good day, because they feel free knowing that nothing can take away their wisdom.” — Haemin Sunim

“If you decide that you’re going to be happy from now on for the rest of your life, you will not only be happy, you will become enlightened. Unconditional happiness is the highest technique there is. You don’t have to learn Sanskrit or read any scriptures. You don’t have to renounce the world. You just have to really mean it when you say that you choose to be happy. And you have to mean it regardless of what happens. This is truly a spiritual path, and it is as direct and sure a path to Awakening as could possibly exist.” — Michael Singer

“Committing yourself to unconditional happiness will teach you every single thing there is to learn about yourself, about others, and about the nature of life.” — Michael Singer

“The key to staying happy is really very simple. Begin by understanding your inner energies. If you look inside, you will see that when you’re happy, your heart feels open and the energy rushes up inside of you. When you aren’t happy, your heart feels closed and no energy comes up inside. So to stay happy, just don’t close your heart.” — Michael Singer

“The joy of Being is the joy of being conscious.” — Eckhart Tolle

“The joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, can not come to you through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event – through anything that happens. That joy cannot come to you – ever. It emanates form the formless dimension within you, from consciousness itself and thus is one with who you are.” — Eckhart Tolle

Happiness Quotes

Standart top banner.

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.

Rules for Happiness: something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Everywhere you go, take a smile with you.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.

Life will bring you pain all by itself. Your responsibility is to create joy.

There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.

Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

The 32 Best TED Talks And Videos on The Power of Gratitude

Whether you have been following along all month or this is the first article you are reading, we hope these videos will help drive home the idea that feeling gratitude can be extremely powerful.

These are the 13 best TED Talks on gratitude, the 14 best YouTube videos on gratitude and a short selection of videos for students.

Before you continue, we thought you might like to download our three Gratitude Exercises for free . These detailed, science-based exercises will help you or your clients connect to more positive emotions and enjoy the benefits of gratitude.

This Article Contains:

The 13 best ted talks (+ description/summary), the 14 best youtube videos (+ description/summary), 5 gratitude videos for students, a take-home message.

These are the 13 best TED and TEDx Talks dealing with gratitude.

1. David Steindl-Rast: Want to be happy? Be grateful

This 15-minute talk, from “monk and interfaith scholar” David Steindl-Rast, discusses gratitude and specifically its relationship to happiness . In the talk, Steindl-Rast argues that:

“it is not happiness that makes us grateful” but “gratefulness that makes us happy”.

Since being grateful sounds easier to most of us than being happy, this is an exciting idea. This quote from Steindl-Rast is also mentioned in more than one of the following videos, so this talk seemed like a good place to start.

2. Louie Schwartzberg: Nature. Beauty. Gratitude.

This 10-minute talk comes from photographer Louie Schwartzberg, with an assist from the above-mentioned Steindl-Rast. In the talk, Schwartzberg presents some of his photographs of nature and explains how they can lead to feelings of gratitude with a story about life from a child’s perspective as well as life from an elderly man’s perspective.

This is a good option for people who are more engaged by visual information than other types, as well as people who are looking for a shorter talk.

3. Brian Doyle: 365 Days of Thank You

This 8-minute talk comes from Brian Doyle, who discusses how a near-death experience led him to start thinking about the role of gratitude in his life.

Specifically, Doyle made a commitment to genuinely thank one person in his life every single day for a full year. This short talk is not just an inspiring story but might cause the viewer to consider how they engage with gratitude in their daily lives.

4. Hailey Bartholomew: 365 Grateful Project

This 12-minute talk from Hailey Bartholomew is, like Doyle’s, centered on a daily, year-long project. Unlike Doyle’s, however, Bartholomew’s focuses on photography and using photography to find gratitude in her life every day.

Photographers who enjoyed Schwartzberg’s TED Talk should give this one a watch, as should anyone who wants to undergo a similar project to find the gratitude in their own lives.

5. Robert Biswas-Diener: Your happiest days are behind you

This 13-minute talk from positive psychology and happiness researcher Robert Biswas-Diener approaches gratitude by discussing happiness like Steindl-Rast does in his TED Talk. Biswas-Diener argues that most people try to reach happiness by ascribing it to accomplishing things in the future, rather than looking back at happy moments in their pasts.

Biswas-Diener claims that once people realize they have a lot to be grateful for in their pasts rather than exclusively looking towards the future, they are closer to reaching happiness.

6. Mike Robbins: The power of appreciation

This nearly 20-minute talk from a former professional baseball player and current speaker and author Mike Robbins focuses on gratitude in the workplace. In the talk, Robbins discusses the difference between recognition and appreciation and argues that appreciating employees for who they are rather than the things they do leads to better results for everyone.

This is a good talk for anyone who wants to increase feelings of gratitude in their workplace, whether they are an employee or a manager.

7. Dr. Kerry Howells: How thanking awakens our thinking

This 17-minute talk from Dr. Kerry Howells, an award-winning educator of teachers, discusses the importance of gratitude not in the workplace but in the classroom.

In the talk, Dr. Howells discusses the importance of cultivating feelings of gratitude in both teachers and students to lead to increased learning for everyone. This is an excellent talk for anyone who is a teacher, and people who want to learn more about Dr. Howell’s approach can read more in her book, Gratitude in Education.

8. Shawn Achor: The happy secret to better work

This 12-minute talk from positive psychologist Shawn Achor is extremely popular because of Achor’s use of humor throughout. In the talk, Achor starts out by discussing a story from his childhood involving his little sister, which underlines the importance of seeing the positive side of everything.

By the end of the talk, Achor has laid out a plan for everyone to rewire their brains to recognize the positive before the negative, starting with recognizing things they are grateful for. This funny, actionable talk is a must-watch.

9. Jane Ransom: Discover the Three Keys of Gratitude to Unlock Your Happiest Life!

This 20-minute talk from hypnotist, coach, and speaker Jane Ransom discusses the relationship between gratitude and happiness, specifically how practicing gratitude can lead to happiness.

In the talk, Ransom discusses her ideas in a very accessible way, making this an excellent way to introduce people (and even children) to the power of gratitude . While the talk is relatively long, the ideas within are engaging and simple to grasp, so people should not shy away from this talk because of its length.

10. Katia Sol: The transformative power of gratitude

This 20-minute TED Talk is a deep exploration into the power of gratitude and why it works, including why a lot of people do not practice gratitude . In the talk, leadership and education expert Katia Sol discusses how gratitude is an ancient “technology” which many are just now identifying the power of, and explores some of the recent research into gratitude, including some of Robert Emmons’s work.

The sound quality of this talk is not great, but the information within is very well-presented and justified by research, so anyone interested in learning about gratitude should give this video a watch.

Jacobs, an author, decided to go on a quest based on a simple idea – to personally thank every person who had helped make his morning coffee. Over 1000 “thank you’s” later, Jacobs recounts his globe-trotting journey and also shares the life-changing wisdom that he gathered along his way.

What our readers think.

Thanks for Gratitude Videos. They really mean a lot to me.

Great videos, but why only one person of color (Oprah) included? It’s easy to be grateful when you are white. Including other perspectives would enrich this experience.

Thank you…I loved each article and each video, some more than the others, but each one giving me something to learn from. Blessings, love and light for all the good work!

Thank you very very much for this collection of Gratitude videos. Thank you again.. May Almighty God bless you always.

Shade and loathing at bravocon: andy cohen addresses “reality reckoning,” bethenny frankel during first panel.

It was exactly 33 minutes into the first panel on the first day of BravoCon 2023 when Andy Cohen was asked about the current “reality reckoning” and the campaign against Bravo (and other networks’) treatment of talent led by former Real Housewives star Bethenny Frankel .

A schoolchildren’s chorus of “oooohs” came from the thousands-strong crowd who’d scored early seats for the Q&A session, almost all of whom responded as if Cohen were Harry Styles when he’d taken the stage at the top of his panel.

Rapturous applause put an end to that question, no doubt inspired by months of calls for a “reality union” by Frankel and a recent piece in Vanity Fair that featured some of the past Housewives talent taking issue with their time on the show. One particularly damning resurfaced allegation of racist remarks from former RHONY Ramona Singer was followed by her unceremonious drop from the BravoCon lineup.

As for the The Watch What Happens Live host, also an executive producer across the Real Housewives universe, he quite clearly went into this weekend expecting at least a few questions about criticisms of his franchise. One of his first comments onstage was praise for the phenomenon. “Without the Housewives , I wouldn’t be here,” said Cohen. “I have so much gratitude for them.”

Cohen’s hourlong Q&A, moderated by former Bravo star Jeff Lewis, was decidedly positive — save Lewis’ frequent barbs about certain Housewives’ economic status. “What is Monica [Garcia] doing on [ The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City ]?” he asked a visibly defensive Cohen. “She’s on food stamps, for fuck’s sake.” (I have no idea who this woman is, but she is literally somewhere in this building at this very moment, Mr. Lewis!)

Speaking of the Housewives , another fan asked Cohen which of them he’d let look over his children. “I’d let any Housewife babysit my kids,” he said. “They’re all fantastic mothers.”

“We are starting you guys off with a very messy, shady panel,” said Cohen just before wrapping his first of maybe a dozen planned appearances. “This is going to be quite a weekend, as you can see. And I just want to remind you that there are some people who are here alone. You are among like-minded people. You’re going to make friends.”

That kind sentiment probably doesn’t apply to me, but do keep returning to THR over the next few days for news, panel coverage and quite likely a cry for help.
