Episode 19: Jay Mohr thinks Teresa just cookbooked herself out of the circle.

Oct 10, 2011

The episode opens at Melissa's house, where she is putting together outfits with her stylist. The stylist must be very good at her job, because she has convinced Melissa to walk around her house in leather pants with corsets in the back. Melissa is also wearing Barbara Eden's top from her I Dream of Jeannie days. I don't think it fits her, because during the scene she plays with her boobs constantly. Let's get back to Melissa's leather corset pants. She's like New Jersey's Scarlett O'Hara. I like to imagine Hattie McDaniel pulling her into them and Melissa yelling, "Tighter! Tighter! Ashley Wilkes is coming over!" Melissa also says that she's scared that her boob might pop out. Um, Melissa, there's a new product on the market and it's called a bra.

The phone rings and it's Teresa. Melissa and Teresa both have bedazzled phones, and as it turns out, they also have the same stylist. This becomes a bit of controversy, because the stylist tells Melissa that Teresa has forbidden her from working with Melissa. It seems that working with Melissa and Teresa at the same time would be the world's easiest stylist job. They essentially dress the same. No matter what the occasion or how much prep time they are given, they both always leave the house dressed like a gypsy. A fun Clubhouse game would be to match the face to the outfits.

Editor's Note: Speaking of Clubhouse fun, enjoy Melissa's new music video:

You have more posts on your blog than the actual housewives LOL Love it !!! Bravo needs to give you your own show, it would be the best show on their network. I am going to miss your blogs now that NJ is wrapping up the season. Are you going to continue to write blogs on the other housewives shows? We can't wait till next year for more blogs from "Professor Payne" !!!!!!! With all that happened with NJ this season, I think Bravo needs to air a follow up reunion, hosted by you of course !!!

Carolyn, Jacqueline, and their familie's eye-rolling and comments have been reactions to Teresa's (& Joe's) behavior. If I had a toxic friend like Teresa's been this season I would dump her. Teresa seems so jealous, petty, rude, and in denial, my eyeballs are spinning everytime shes on the screen. Remember Teresa's nasty comments about the food at Kathy's middle-eastern girls party? I hope Teresa returns next season happier and can see and speak the truth. Teresa narcissism is wearing thin.

Love, love your references from Gone with the Wind to the blender comment you keep me laughing. I don't care if you had dinner with the Manzo's (not that I am a huge fan of everything they do or say) but you are a blogger/comedian not a NewYorkTimes reporter. It is your opinion or take on things which keeps me watching the show in anticipation of your reaction/interpretation. It can be a a child's game of he said she said when it comes to this group of people but I think the most glaring thing that occured in this past episode is that Theresa made her husband look not so bad. She won the award for most hideous behaviour. Team Tre -she put it in writing-not very bright. Where was her editor? Who read it and said this is so funny? Great ploy to sell more books. Wonder if all of those mentioned are getting royalties. Look forward to seeing you in the clubhouse after the reunion show -already set my dvr.

I have to agree with those who mentioned the Manzos have painted themselves in a corner. All this season came the insults and jokes (like hello... they have microphones in the cars, dimwits) about Joe and Teresa Guidice. So what if Teresa tried to be funny and joke about them in her new book? People can show if they like her by not buying the book. Ashley drove me up the wall every season -- she is ungrateful and selfish to say the least. I sorry to see Jacqueline and Caroline go but they were both boring, to be honest. Reality TV has players act larger than life or throw family members under the bus for ratings.

jay

what will we all be doing on monday mornings now???

your blogs are so much better than the actual show, i find myself watching the show and wondering what jay will say about each scene. thanks for taking the time to give all of us a smile on monday. you will be missed.

andy, here is a suggestion: monday mornings with jay-- a blog about anything that happened on any t.v. show.

You need your own show Jay..We love you!!!

You are the Man!! Bravo give this guy a show..love this blog Jay..thank you

Love these blogs! Please blog about the reunion! I have loved you since "Mafia" Jay Mohr!

I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what someone says to Theresa, she is bound to twist it to be negative and to give her ammunition to attack everyone else. I don't know about you guys but I am so sick of her whiny bitching and turning RHONJ into the Theresa show. I will not be watching next season if she continues to be on the show.

Barefoot Contessa impression on the After Show... AMAZING!!!! Omelete Party

I love Jay too! I think he is the perfect replacement for Regis!

Clearly the other ladies are jealous and putting in their digs at Teresa because she has become the most successful of the RHONJ. She us also the most personable and warm on camera. Honestly, Jacqueline just seems really sad this season with all the Ashley nonsense. Caroline has moved the focus of her segments from the Brownstone to her kids and they are wasting their opportunity. I don't see anything there to enjoy. They are so awkward unlike their mom. As for Kathy and Melissa, I hope they make the mist iftheir 15 minutes because there is nothing to like there either. Kathy has a daughter who dresses too suggestively and a son with a knife collection. She's an amaxingt mom. Melissa is sweet but she needs to stop stealing Teresa's people, Teresa's style and then making fun of her. That's just not right. Teresa deserves better than these people in her life. Her life has become an open book because of the press while her castmates are shrouded in "privacy" and yet they castigate on blogs, in the press and on the show. Shame on all if them and you.

Teresa may be a train wreck but Caroline is so sanctimonious and self-important as to be equally obnoxious. Her children and Greg have made snide comments about Teresa all season. So they got it back - in a cook book. So what. They are adults. If they can dish it (no pun intended), they should be able to take it. Jay, stop sipping the Manzo Kool-Aid. And Caroline take your own advice and put your big girl panties on. You live a charmed life courtesy of an Italian legacy that many of us do but refuse to admit it. If that lifestyle wasn't derailed by the FBI you have nothing to fear from Teresa Guidice and a caption above a recipe for eggplant rollatini.

Bravo Jay! You're the best, never written to a blog, but you are just to funny. Will miss you and your GREAT obsservation, can't wait for next season. I just wish I could meet a guy as cool and observant as you. You make women smile!

U R THE ONLY SANE ONE! U speak the truth!!!

Jay, love your blogs You hit the nail on the head with your comments about Teresa. All your comments are hilariously funny. We need you to blog about Jerseylicious.

Jay, I couldn't agree more about Ashley, she is old news and it got old. You nailed it. Love your blogs. P.S. Are you blogging about the reunion? Both parts?? please say you will!

Hey Jay, I think Melissa meant "C'd" her way out of it. When I was younger and would listen in on conversations between my elders, they would say "It's an A and B conversation, C your way out of it." It seems to be a nice way of telling someone to get out of a conversation that does not involve them.

Find something more constructive to do with your time PLEASE! I'm sure there is still some kind of work out there for a mediocre actor/comedian besides bashing someone's mother, daughter and wife.

Bravo, More Jay Mohr, please!

Jay! You killed it last night on WWHL, please please please release your version of On Display.

Loved you on WWHL last night. You sang great. You should get your own show on BRAVO blogging all the housewives.

Jay, don't go!!! Blog on all the shows!! Co-host with Andy on Watch What Happens!! Don't leave me, please--I got no place else to go!!!

Jay,

You are so funny and capture the housewives , spot on! Teresa is a mess, she's about as funny as a cold sore. You were a blast on What What Happens--keep blogging.

I love your blogs Jay...l Andy please please please let him hang out some more!

LOVE YOUR BLOG. THIS SHOW IS THE BEST COMEDY AROUND! YOU MANAGE TO MAKE IT EVEN FUNNIER!

Thank you for bringing some sanity to this craziness. Loved you on Watch What Happens. I am so glad you could see Teresa for who she is. Some of these people have no clue. She was the joke this season.

Teresa, her husband and her children are so much better off out of the circle. It was three against one on the reunion show......The 2011 cast was a producers dream...I will not be watching next year.......Good luck Teresa.

Good insights Jay Mohr, but if you look back to season 2's blogs to Teresa, after Danielle was fired...err not asked back....people warned her Caroline Manzo would go after her and look what has happened!! Teresa wasn't the victim, but Caroline was probably bored and decided she was done with Teresa and so...poof attack Teresa time!! Just sayin.....

I would totes watch if you replaced Regis..seriously, you'd be perfecto. Funny and easy on the eyes, very nice.

Love your blogs Jay!!!!! Just watched u on Watch What Happens Live and the After Show...funny as always. Great job doing On Display- better than Melissa...haha! Suggestion for you- definitely go out and read Teresa's cookbook. Believe me, the "insults" are not that insulting when they are NOT being taken out of context. It came across much worse on the show than the way it was written in the book. When you read the whole paragraph or the whole chapter- you can see she wasn't really bashing anyone in the book. The worst thing she said was about her baby sister in law copying her- that was probably the most insulting. The stuff about Caroline- not insulting at all..the stuff about the stripper car wash- also not insulting. Let's remember one thing here too- Christopher never actually opened a stripper car wash...it was just a 2 second idea he shared on the show once. He didn't have any personal claim in it, so why Caroline would think that Teresa was going after her son is ridiculous. Trust me Jay- go out and read the book- you'll see for yourself...Teresa did not do anything wrong in it. Let's also not forget- Kathy said that intelligence is another language to Teresa right...but then defended herself by saying it was just a joke. I don't know about you- but calling someone stupid is a bit more insutling and a lot less funny than calling someone 1/16th italian- don't you think?

You're telling Jay to find something better to do with his time? He is! He is entertaining the HELL out of us!! Jay, please don't listen to the haters. You are just what the Bravo needed. Major shot in the arm. Thanks!

Jay, has anyone noticed that Teresa has become a clone of Dannielle

Jay...what will I do without you? I will miss the laughs you give me with each episode. I hope you will return next season. ok..I love you said about Ashley, couldn't agree more. I love what you said about threasa and her Lucille ball reference..too funny. I am getting sick of carolines "holier-than- thou" Attitude. Who named her the "godfather"? It was so sad to watch this season as the guidices unraveled under their enormous debt. Talk about living above your means!

Jay you did a great job with your blog on here.. Very challenging at times for sure. Teresa I agree has become a very sad and pathetic character on the show. Her insults continue no matter what anyone tries to explain to her. She is in a world of her own. Very sad she felt it necessary to insult people in her cookbook. She could have written a small paperback on all that stuff.. Her behavior on the vacation modelling her outrageous outfits was really wierd and awful to watch then more insults. She has a problem listening to what others have to say. It's not even selective hearing..She is disturbed and anyone can see it is affecting her children alot. Very sad situation ..

you have the best blog on this site, you put it all so perfectly- i think i love you. PLEASE come back for next season, or even, one of the other shows!

More from Mohr, please! You hit the nail right on the head with your astute observations.

OMG!!! Jay you are hilarious. I love your blogs... instant fan!!!!

Jay your blog posts on RHONJ was so funny and on point it's amazing. Anyway people are questioning Caroline's reaction to Teresa at the reunion. 411- It's not really about the book. The book was the sprinkles on the icing of the cake. Strangely enough it's because of the similar gripes that Joe Gorga had with his sister at the start of season 3. Supposedly it's about how Teresa has changed because of the show and her celebrity. And when she found out her cousin and sister-in-law were going to be on the show kind of was the catalyst for Teresa's behavior as the filming progressed. Now the Manzo's did make all kinds of jokes at the expense of Teresa behind her back and that wasn't cool but even then Caroline always made it a point to put Teresa as someone who despite having problems (see bankruptcy, family issues) has a good heart. Until of course it became clear to Caroline by Teresa's actions off camera, that Teresa didn't seem sincere when it came to her relationships with her brother, sister-in-law, and cousin. I think what came to Caroline was "If she could be like this with her own family, how are we supposed feel about her relationship with us?" And I see Caroline as giving someone benefit of the doubt until something happens that confirms the negative. And unfortunately that happened. It's not clear what that was and maybe Caroline will clarify it better in the 2nd part of the reunion because from Teresa's reaction I'm not sure if Teresa herself really knows what set her off (she probably assumed it was the book like most watching the finale).

This reunion show part 1 was beyond awkward and hard to watch. It's crazy to see what television does to people. I honestly couldn't even finish watching it. When Andy made the snide comment '...clean as a whistle?' is when I turned it off. When the 'host' of the show starts joining in on the bashing of a cast member that's when it gets a little ridiculous don't you think? So is Andy going to be the new RHNJ cast member?!?! That would only make sense right? So sadly enough another show gets ruined for me. Thank you Bravo for crossing the line exploiting a family waaaay beyond repair and just continuously making tasteless television altogether. The last hope for the show would be to get rid of the whole cast and start from square one. (Preferably a new NEUTRAL host as well) This current cast are just a bunch old dried up bitches! Let's see: Teresa, watch an episode from season 1 and watch any episode from season 3 and tell me you changed ...in a good way? Melissa, a bunch of things just start rushing through my head. Um.... Hypocrite, self centered, faithLESS, and i could just go on. Basically read the Book you live by... it might teach you a few things on self respect and how to respect your neighbor. Kathy, what are you doing? you're old as shit, why don't you take up knitting if you want to do something w/ the years you have left. You try too much to get in the drama because you don't have any. STOP IT! Jacqueline, to be honest you're the only one i can't really say anything about. You're beautiful you never give up trying to push your difficult daughter. You never speak ill of anyone unless it's brought up in a conversation. You're the only one who doesn't get in the drama. I guess the ONLY thing i can say is when you're arguing with someone and you turn away from them you do this head turn thing... its not cute. Caroline, ooooh Caroline. How you disappointed me... At first I did admire you're opinionated attitude. But this season you came off really catty. Especially at the reunion being buddy buddy with Melissa and Kathy. It's disgusting you would even partake in clucking with the chickens. Just taking a side puts yourself in the drama and that's what you become, DRAMA. Well I've vented. This is my first and last time commenting on a blog. That is how upset I was from that reunion show. So I wont be watching part 2, sadly this show is no longer on my DVR. See ya later Bravo.

Enjoyed you very much on WWHLw/Andy as I always do but I have to say you came off as a bit disingenuous about why you bash Ashley and not Teresa. Could it be you are afraid of finding a beloved pets or friends head in your bed if you dis on T? ...LOL...(I don't blame you...teehee) Now THAT's what you call a joke Teresa.....

Jay: Love your blog, but you are missing a few key ingredientzse. If you recall in previous seasons, Caroline layed down the law by telling everyone, especially Jacqueline, that she couldn't hang out with Danielle or else.... Caroline is a hypocrite and a backstabber and has now partnered up with Melissa and Kathy against Teresa. You seem to think Melissa and Kathy are little angels, when they are not. They are backstabbers too and insult Teresa any chance they get. Don't you watch the show? And I absolutely believe that Melissa made that comment about "not being stupid like her sisters." When she saw Joe Gorga's house she "jumped on it." Teresa has always said that comment was made and I believe her. I think Caroline, Kathy and Melissa are all fake snakes.

Wow-Caroline Man-zo and kids/Adults need to take her advice-put on your BIG GIRL PANTIES.... lol. Teresa against the three-she held her own. Btw i thought MAMA MAN-zo called T -Lucille Ball. Love your blog but don't hang with the cast before writing your blog-just sayn. lol. Maybe Caroline is mad because her "husband" got into trouble to the "law" too. Who knows. P.s. Andy get rid of Kathy and the Man-zos- they are bor-----ring!!!!!!!!! Jay: All in all i look forward to reading and laughing over your blogs.

WE LOVE YOU JAY! You are so spot-on about everyone! I can't believe how funny you are! I wish they would feature you on every WWHL! You are the BEST! Teresa should be ashamed of herself looking back on this season and the reunion. She is so self absorbed, and evades the truth constantly. Way to go Jay!

Hi Jay, I think you would be an excellent Regis replacement on Regis and Kelly too! You are so funny and equally poke fun at all the housewives. However, I did feel like you were taking sides against Teresa when you were on Andy's show. You tried so hard not to but you came across as biased. It just terrible to see Teresa get kicked when Caroline, Kathy and Melissa were beating her up on the reunion show.

I think the show should not promote Ashley's behavior anymore. She thinks she is a star. Someday she is going to grow up and be very embarassed of herself. We can only hope...

No one else noticed that Melissa asked for people to put their presents in the "liberry" ??? These "jersey-isms" are just too funny...
