It’s hard to imagine hearing the familiar chords and lyrics “just raise your glasses high, this one’s for you tonight” without thinking of anything but the iconic Vanderpump Rules intro and theme song. But now Andy Cohen has revealed that the show was shockingly almost known by an entirely different title.
“Hey, here’s a production secret fans don’t know,” Andy teased during the Vanderpump Rules Season 12 special on Nov. 25. “The title Vanderpump Rules wasn’t chosen until after filming for Season 1 had wrapped.”
What exactly did Lisa Vanderpump and her crew of young, dramatic, beautiful SUR-vers call the show before it became its signature title in 2013?

Although Lisa and her staff, including original cast members Tom Sandoval, Katie Maloney, and Scheana Shay, had an amazing 11 season run, it was announced in November 2024 that Season 12 would be a new chapter, with a cast of "close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors."

“Well, I put something out on social media to talk about how I love them all, and I do love them all, regardless of their antics and their foibles,” Lisa shared. “There’s a deep love there, but just because what we’ve been through together and seeing them at such a young age, even though they’ve been very frustrating at times, for sure, and they’ve made mistakes, but it was predictable,” she said of their individual reactions.
“Of course, Schwartz straight away called me and said, ‘I just want to thank you for all the opportunities you’ve given me,’” Lisa added as she named names. And James [Kennedy], too,” Lisa said. “Lala, yeah, I’ve always been very close to her.”
Lisa also revealed that she hadn’t heard from Katie, although her Something About Her sandwich shop partner Ariana Madix “texted” or “tweeted” or “something.”
“Katie, I didn’t hear from, but you know, as I say, that doesn’t really surprise me,” she admitted.
