How Andy Cohen Really Feels About Making His Own Headlines

Image
Andy Cohen At the risk of sounding like a Real Housewives tagline, when Andy Cohen talks, people listen. That’s true when he hosts Watch What Happens Live and the Bravo reunions, and it’s especially true for his SiriusXM show, where he has time to dig into everything from Wicked to Bravolebrity brouhahas. “There are things I say that the viewers disagree with,” Cohen, 56, tells Us from his Andy Cohen Live s tudio in NYC. “There was a moment early in Vanderpump Rules where I said [on the radio], ‘ Lala [Kent] is the voice of reason this season .’ People played that clip for months on end and were all over me.” During the daily broadcast on Radio Andy (channel 102, 10 a.m.), Cohen and cohost John Hill — also his ex-boyfriend, more on that later — “generate a lot of pop culture news,” he says. “And we also reflect on it. Whatever’s going on in pop culture, it will be dissected here.” And at Andy Cohen Live, that often means the latest in the Bravo universe. Cohen is the fir...
