Lovett or Leave It Presents: Bravo, America! (with Dr. Terry Dubrow)

In our premiere episode, Lovett goes under the knife with Dr. Terry Dubrow, an icon of reality TV who has lived his life as a surgeon, husband, and father in front of the cameras on shows like Botched, The Swan and of course the Real Housewives of Orange County. You can see why Terry is considered one of the best dads and spouses in the Bravo Universe. And in this surprisingly open conversation, he also goes off on what he dreads most about filming Real Housewives, the ways housewives manufacture controversy to cling to fame, the risks of being a parent on television, and why he keeps coming back for more. Oh, and Lovett also asks him, “What kind of plastic surgery should I get?” because of course he did.

In this special limited series, Lovett sits down with reality icons who helped lead a hostile takeover not just of television, but of our culture. In intimate and revealing conversations, Lovett and his guests explore the ways these shows blur the line between authenticity and performance, the compromises of putting your life on television, the reality-TV-ification of our politics, and the secrets that don't make it on screen. What have reality stars learned about themselves, about television, and about America? And what happens to a society when the only thing worse than being hated is being boring? These are the questions we are trying to answer - either here, or at the reunion.
