To say that Kyle Richards is stealing the show again is an understatement, as the master of impressions has taken the longest running cast member of the ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ by a long mile. The latest video posted by the Hayu social media account shows the reality TV veteran to be able to impersonate all her co-stars so perfectly that at times it is hard to tell one from the other, Kathy Hilton’s cryptic shorthand to Teddi Mellencamp’s earnestness, she covers them from different aspects. Fans are already calling her a humorous genius, thus asking for an invitation to ‘Saturday Night Live.’

After all, during fourteen seasons plus, she has been watching almost exclusively— the most memorable as well as the weirdest— characters of Bravo and still getting the best seat at the show. And she has been taking notes. The video presented in a rapid-fire manner titled “kyle richards’ RHOBH impressions 101” is a fast-paced tour through the best times with her castmates. Not only she portrays the specific, long speech-like intonation of her sister Kathy Hilton, who is known for always speaking in an almost unintelligible way, but she perfectly captures the essence too.
However, the peak of the show according to the mountain of comments is her performance of the ex-housewife Teddi Mellencamp. Kyle is walking in a no-nonsense manner like a fitness teacher and doing the hunching of the shoulders, stiff and determined style walking, mimicking Teddi’s vibe. The impression gets a deadpan “Can I tell you something? That was a lot last night.” The moment seems to have been enjoying the luxury of being unwatched in the viewers’ minds for years now.
Positive fan reactions were immediate and massive. A user commented, “Your acting skills and impressions are soooo underrated…you are brilliant and talented,” and another one simply said, “Kyle’s acting is top tier.” The appreciation of the Teddi act was unanimous. “The teddy impression lives rent free in my head,” one comment said. Another fan elaborated on it saying, “Same!!! And the best is Kyle actually walks like that too.” This generated a bit of controversy with another user jumping in, “that’s funny, but actually Kyles walk is the worst, she walks like a man.” Even the impressions are not beyond receiving a small dosage of a friendly housewives-style critique.
Among the things fans have pointed out, one of the other high points was the Bogdan’s such-like mimicry not only of Dorit Kemsley’s distinctive accent but also her phrasing. “The dorit one sends me, ‘cuz like does dorit even hear herself?!” one viewer joked. Her imitation of Erika Jayne also got a mention, with a fan commenting, “Kyle’s impression of Erika sounded like a smurf.” The clip even triggered a demand for a bigger stage, with one person asking, “When is she hosting SNL pleeeaaaaase. The cross eyed ‘What?!’ … hilarious.”
The video is a playful reminder of Kyle’s often-neglected comedic skills in the midst of drama that is so typical of this series. While the storylines are generally based around disagreements and fashion, such moments show the real and funny bond that links her with those women that she has been filming for over ten years and her keen observer skill towards them. This is a feature of her personality that the audience absolutely admires. As one of the fans said, “I love Kyle’s impressions, she cracks me up! The only OG still standing in Beverly Hills.”

At last, the clip is not just a funny compilation; it also serves as a testimony to Kyle Richards’ endurance and her exceptional gift as a reality star: she is not just surviving the drama but is also the master critic of it. And the audience rejoices with the performance to the fullest. The event brings to mind the recent magical wedding day of her daughter Alexia. Her social calendar remains busy, as seen when she celebrated at Kris Jenner’s lavish 70th birthday party. For that party, Kyle Richards and her daughter Farrah wore glamorous 007-themed outfits. She also knows how to entertain, having been known to host a star-studded gathering at Sliving Manor.
