As an aside, I'm thrilled to be next to my hero Howard Stern on the SiriusXM dial."

"I want this show to act as a time capsule, packed with the little curiosities and snapshots of our culture …that everyone can relate to and, hopefully, take them on a journey as well. THAT is Sandyland," said Sandra Bernhard. "I am looking forward to the creative freedom I know I'll have with SiriusXM. Andy Cohen is an old friend, he gets me, and that's a luxury to have in this business. It's a good collaboration and a lot of fun."

"I'm ready to have an unedited, unfiltered, rollicking good time on Bevelations!" said Bevy Smith. "Whether I'm chatting with my celebrity pals or an interesting character from my neighborhood, it's going to be pure B.S., that's Bevy Smith!"

"I've tried for years to be one of the Real Housewives but Andy always said I wasn't bitchy enough. Well wait until he hears the new Dirty Pop I'm bringing to Radio Andy," said Lance Bass. "Every show's going to end with a ton of Chardonnay and a slap fight with my producer. Oh and I'll also have a bunch of my famous friends stopping by to play games, talk pop culture and share their playlists. I can't wait to launch Dirty Pop 2.0 live from New York!"
