Executive producer of The Real Housewives of Potomac Kemar Bassaragh is one of the people responsible for bringing us those iconic interview moments, sitting down with the ladies to ask all those hard-hitting questions throughout the season. Bassaragh recently spilled all of his interview secrets while chatting with The Daily Dish podcast's Megan Segura, which you can check out in the above preview exclusive to Bravo Insider.

One of the things Bassaragh notes is that it's important to keep the ladies' spirits up during what can be very long interview sessions. "So, just get them comfortable with their favorite snacks, favorite drinks," Bassaragh explained. "And you can talk to them for hours."

Champagne is the most popular drink among the Potomac Housewives, according to Bassaragh, although he once recalled a time when one of the ladies may have had a few too many sips during their in-depth conversation, resulting in a change of plans for production.
