Maybe Ramona (Singer.)\u201d Jon also said: \u201cWe want somebody crazy in there to come in and stir some s*** up. Those two, I think, would be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSonja Morgan responded to the remarks in comments on Instagram, writing: \u201cWe would love to shake things up for YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nDiscussing the direction of the new season of Your Friends and Neighbors, Jon said: \u201cAnd (Coop) better figure out a way to get out of this, and yet, not finding it that way and seemingly getting more and more complicated and convoluted as the season goes along.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: \u201cObviously, having this incredible performance by James, this incredible character who is a disruptor, to say the least, an agent of chaos makes it a lot more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nJon also described the project as \u201cfun\u201d, adding he does not personally identify with the criminal elements of his character\u2019s storyline.<\/p>\n<p>\nBeyond the series, Jon has continued to comment on developments within reality television. <\/p>\n<p>\nDuring an appearance on CNN New Year&#8217;s Eve Live in 2025, he discussed the relationship between Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, as well as remarks about Dorit Kemsley from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe also reacted to news involving Summer House cast members Amanda Batula and West Wilson, who confirmed their relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\nAt a premiere event, Jon was interviewed by Ciara Miller, who said: \u201cI\u2019ve been better,\u201d before Jon later said: \u201cWell, it\u2019s about to get a lot better.
