\nBravo’s flagship program will move to Ovation TV without its longtime host.

\u201cThe decision that we made in the beginning was that we don\u2019t pre-interview,\u201d Lipton said of the show\u2019s unique format. \u201cWhat that did was it forced us into a conversation where neither of us knows what\u2019s coming next. We\u2019ve compared it to a circus tent with a high wire up at the top \u2014 the guest goes up one ladder, I go up the other, and we meet in the middle of that tightrope for four hours with no net.\u201d<\/p>\n
