Susan Lucci leads an all-star cast in a live reading of the Vanderpump Rules 'Scandoval' episode

Vanderpump Rules may have lost their first-ever nomination for an Emmy, but it took Susan Lucci 18 times before she got hers. And now, the soap opera legend is lending her gift for melodrama to an all-star reading of the show's most important episode — season 10, episode 15, "#Scandoval."

For the moment in time when the truth about Tom Sandoval's affair with Raquel Leviss behind the back of his girlfriend (and her good friend) Ariana Madix hit the proverbial fan, a cast of epic proportions was needed. Paging Erica Kane.

Lucci portrayed Scheana Shay, while Amber Tamblyn put on her sisterhood traveling pants and channeled Ariana Madix, Chrissy Teigen workshopped her Lisa Vanderpump accent in real time, Leslie Grossman slipped into the skin of Katie Maloney, Cheyenne Jackson starred as Tom Sandoval, with SNL's Chloe Fineman as the other woman, fellow SNL player Sarah Sherman voiced Lala Kent, Carson Kressley did his best James Kennedy, and Brad Goreski got to be Tom Schwartz.

Goreski shared pics and video on Instagram of the reading, which was, naturally, for Bravo svengali Andy Cohen's Sirius XM talk show, which he co-hosts with John Hill.

After its game-changing 10th season, Vanderpump Rules returns Jan. 30 with season 11, as the cast tries to pick up the pieces in a post Scandoval world.
