Adrienne Houghton Reveals 'The Real's Big Changes for Season 8 (Exclusive)

ET's Rachel Smith spoke with Adrienne Bailon Houghton at the 12th Annual Rookie USA Fashion Show at NYFW, in which her nieces were walking. The singer opens up about returning to the studio for season 8 of her talk show, 'The Real.' It will be the first time she and her co-hosts -- Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Garcelle Beauvais -- will be together on set since the coronavirus pandemic surged in March 2020. Adrienne teases big changes to the format and look of the hit daytime series, hinting at a 'more cozy, more intimate' vibe and even more revealing conversations than ever before. Adrienne says it's unlikely the show will have a live studio audience when it returns on Sept. 20, but she hopes the viewers at home will embrace the revamped feel of 'The Real.' She also reflects on the Emmy-winning show's longevity and how rare it is for a talk show to last as long as theirs has in the current media landscape.
