In the interview, Cohen was asked to compare "The Real Housewives of Rhode Island" to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," which also has a cast with several Italian American members. “Well, they’re in Rhode Island. It’s coastal,” he responded, adding that the Rhode Island cast is “more Italian” with “deep families.” New Jersey is also coastal.
