Are two of New Jersey’s greatest reality TV institutions planning a crossover? Rumors of the mightiest of all Garden State mashups have been out there forever. Could Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi be the next Real Housewife? Would the RHONJ cast ever appear on Jersey Shore? Andy Cohen has long denied any plans for Jersey Shore stars on Bravo, but what about RHONJ VIPs on MTV?
Now, there is video evidence that a can’t-miss collab between the two iconic hit shows just might be in the works.
Last week, TMZ obtained footage at Tao, a club in Manhattan where Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was shooting episodes for Season 8. Some famous RHONJ faces popped up front and center. In video captured by TMZ, Snooki is chatting away with Melissa and Joe Gorga while the production cameras rolled. There were high fives, big smiles and even a kiss or two on the cheek between the reality stars. Although she wasn’t caught on camera, Real Housewife Danielle Cabrai was reportedly on scene as well.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, all signs point to Melissa, Danielle and Joe from RHONJ showing up on the next season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. It could be a cameo or possibly something bigger. Their Bravo show is currently on an indefinite hiatus. With their franchise’s future unknown, there is chance they could not be under contract with Bravo and are free to show up on MTV. If true, this will be a reality star New Jersey crossover.
Season 7 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is currently airing on MTV on Thursday nights at 8pm EST. If and when the RHONJ crew turns up it will be for Season 8, which is still shooting and will likely premiere in late spring of 2025.
