Meet the Veteran TV Host Who Conducts the 'Sister Wives' Tell All Interviews

When Sukanya Krishnan, the current host of the Sister Wives tell-all special, sat down with patriarch Kody Brown and his current and previous wives Janelle, Meri, Christine, and Robyn in 2022, fans had super high expectations that she would grill the reality stars. They were left feeling like more meat could have been tossed onto the grill.

Unfortunately, fans of the TLC show have been disappointed by Sukanya's interview style regarding the cast of Sister Wives, with many feeling like she left a lot of follow-ups unsaid. Despite being criticized for her past performance as host, she was brought back in 2025 for the Season 19 tell-all episodes. Here's what we know.

The Season 18 Tell-All had Sukanya interviewing the cast separately. So, unlike other reality show reunions, we didn’t get to see any infighting among the group, with the host being forced to interject. The same format was followed for Season 19. When asked about this by Sarah Fraser on her podcast, Sukanya said she wants that to happen but thinks the cast isn't emotionally ready for that.

According to Today, Sukanya specifically avoided the sensitive topic of Garrison Brown's death, who died by apparent suicide on March 5, 2024. "I think we found out that day that they did not want to go there," said Sukanya to Sarah. She decided to give her condolences and leave it at that. "What is there to say? A mother, a father, a family lost their son. I mean, what is there to say? What can you ask, as a journalist?"

Some fans have speculated that Sukanya doesn’t even watch Sister Wives, and that's why she doesn't dig into juicy topics that fans want her to explore more in the specials. To be fair, this may be an editing issue, or she might be beholden to producers. But that isn't enough for the many viewers who want the reality star family to be held accountable for past actions and words, such as Kody's relationship with his kids.

When Garrison died, Kody was estranged from his son. In an emotional confessional interview, Kody said, "There’s so much left unsaid, so much left undone." Sukanya addressed this with Sarah. "I can give you this insight, that he is working on it," the journalist said. "That’s probably not what (viewers) want to hear, but I think he is doing the best he can, and he is trying to find a place where he can meet his sons as men and his daughters as women." She also said some of the kids don't want to deal with it.

Sukanya uploaded a few clips to Instagram of her conversation with Sarah. Fans of Sister Wives predictably raced to the comments, where they were mostly annoyed. Regarding the journalist's soft questions, one person commented that the cast is getting paid, so it's only fair that they are held accountable for their decisions. Another suggested that Sukanya have cards with questions from fans. At the end of the day, they get what they get.
