    “The Mormon church is undeniably ingrained in the culture of Salt Lake City, but these women represent a spectrum of religious beliefs ranging from Mormon, Islamic, Jewish and Pentecostal,” reads the official show description.
    “Here perfection is not an aspiration, it’s a mandate.

    “With a deep-rooted history, these women share a special bond, but when circles are this tight it’s only a matter of time before beliefs and personalities collide.
    “Whether hitting the slopes, attending parties at Sundance or hosting the city’s elite, these housewives hold themselves and each other to an extremely high standard and never hold back when things go sideways, but lord knows they are always there for each other when they need it most.”
    When people think of the Real Housewives they think of glamor, cat-fights and back-stabbing – so Mormon millionaires may not seem like the obvious candidates for the show.

    “What would a Mormon Housewife look like? Stay tuned… a production company brought us unbelievable women, and the cool thing about Salt Lake City is, they’re leading these aspirational lives.
    “When you look at the footage, it is a fantasy life. For me, just the snow and the scenery and the lifestyle, it’s really cool,” he said.

    The pair sat with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to discuss their friendship, with Cooper saying: “I knew within 45 seconds, I was never going on a date with Andy Cohen.”
    He continued: “I imagined him in like a Bluetooth headset, gesticulating. He was all excited, and he violated my cardinal rule, which is he asked me about my mom within the first minute of talking to me.” 
    Cohen chimed in saying: “I wanted to date the Vanderbilt boy! I was excited.”

    Fallon asked Cohen if he remembered the call that way, and he responded, “I remember that something that I did made him shut down, so now I know.” 
    Cooper added: “It wasn’t even a question. It was just, ‘Your mother is Gloria Vanderbilt,’ and I was like, ‘OK, yeah, this is not happening.'”
    Despite the encounter and questions about Cooper’s mother, the two went on to become best friends and traveled together with mutual acquaintances on several occasions.
    Cohen told USA Today that the pair’s relationship has blossomed through the years, saying: “We’ve gotten much closer since I’ve had the talk show, and since we’ve been on tour together.
