3) Andy plays a game called, ALT or ATL? Where Jennifer Hudson must guess if Andre Leon Talley made a statement or if it was from one of the Atlanta housewives.
Jennifer did pretty well, she only got one wrong.
Several people tweeted to Andy that Andre Leon Talley should be on Fashion Police.
Andre thought that was an incredible complement but felt there are many other worthy people to fill the position of the late great Joan Rivers. He even said Andy should have a go at it. I would definitely be watching that. Judging from Andy's ensemble tonight with the plaid shirt and a solid green tie with the jacket, he may not be the best person for the position. Although Andy's tie collection is to die for.

Jennifer watches what she eats and watches her weight. Jennifer doesn't exercise a lot but she remains active.
A question came in wondering why Andres face was blurred out of Kim and Kanye's wedding special? Did Andre forget to sign his release?
Andre was in complete and total shock that his face was blurred out, he signed the releases. Kim is going to hear from him tonight!
Laura from Texas called in to ask Andre Kendall Jenner is overrated because of her family name?
Kendall did very well she can hold her own she was walking in Mark Jacobs during New York fashion week, she looks good on the runway.
