What is up, Daddy Gang?
It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy.
Are you ready to fucking go?
I'm ready to fucking go.
Are you cozy?
Yeah, I'm cozy.
These chairs are super cozy.
I literally had them shipped to New York because it was the only thing that I could have here for Caller Daddy, and I figured we'd have the fucking chairs.
I love it.
Okay.
Is my mic okay?
You look gorgeous.
Okay.
Can I ask you?
a question.
Oh, Andy, we're already starting on.
Okay, fine.
And then I'm going to...
Then you're going to shut the fuck.
I'm going to let you top me.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
But call her daddy.
Here's the thing.
Okay.
Gay guys during sex sometimes like to call the other guy, daddy.
Okay.
And I'm wondering, do straight guys ever call girls' mommy during sex, or is that creepy?
Because it could be argued that it's creepy to see.
say daddy during sex with a guy, but like...
This is a good way to start this episode.
Okay, good.
So my thought is, no, that's fucking creepy.
Okay.
I also think it's different because daddy is a connotation of like, it can be man or
woman that's like you're a daddy, you're a ball or you're a hustler, like you make money.
Like you're rich, you're powerful.
Where there is like mommy doesn't have that yet.
Maybe we can shift it today.
Okay.
So I think it's less sexual.
Okay.
If a man called me mommy in the bedroom.
It would be a whole, it would be two episodes.
of the pot. Without a doubt, it would be divorce or a breakup wherever I was at in my life. I'd be
fucking done. Okay. Do you call guys daddy during sex ever? I know you're now locked down. I have.
Yes. I have. It's not my thing. I definitely think once I started call her daddy, I think men were
expecting that like, do I have to call? And I was like, no, you don't have to actually call me daddy in
bedroom, but you should treat me like a daddy. Like you still should be treating me like I'm not less
then. I'm fucking equal, if not better than you, bitch. And so I think it just changed the
vibe, but I wasn't expecting a man to call me daddy. But do men call girls daddy in the bed?
Well, I have been called it. Wow, that's interesting. While you're like pegging? It was more
while like they were, yeah, while they were fucking me. Which I guess is kind of like a power play, right?
No. You're like I am a fascinating. And you know what I will say. And now I can say, because I've
had the show long enough. I would like someone to call me daddy just not in the bedroom.
Like I don't, I love when I'm on the streets. I love when I'm in a meeting and someone calls
me daddy. I'm like, love you. But if your fucking pants are down and your dick is out, I don't want
Matt has never called me that and I love that for me. Probably that's why I married him.
Got it. Okay. Okay. I just had to, sorry. I now relinquish. Andy Cohen, welcome to call her daddy.
Thank you. Do you like being in the interviewee chair?
I'm good.
It depends who's doing the interview.
I think that talk show hosts make great guests
because we don't like silence
and we like to keep talking
and we like to keep the ball in the air.
But I do have a tendency to kind of try to turn it around.
I get it.
And I interviewed Howard Stern a couple weeks ago
and I could tell from the very beginning
I was like, oh, he is going to try to keep.
it was like so it felt very I felt like I kept having to kind of interrupt him and stuff
because I was trying to get control but no I don't mind it I enjoy it when like I'm excited to do
this this is like a special occasion when I go on stern I'm excited to do it if so I get what you're
saying it's like if you're fucking with someone that's like we're kind of at the same level we both
do a similar job so like we both know how this goes but if you're actually getting fucking
interviewed for like a magazine and you're on camera. I'm like, oh my God, I don't even want to
talk about myself half the time anymore. I just want to get the tea on other people. Um,
the hair. My hair. Yes. Okay. Talk to me. How did you decide to grow it out? I love it.
Thanks. Have you been getting rave reviews? You know what? It's been pretty positive feedback.
Thanks for asking. It's really good. Yeah. Thanks. Are you going to keep it? You know, I think I am.
I have a full head of hair.
This is not fake. Established. It's not faked. I have no pieces.
in my hair, and basically, I usually grow it out every summer because I'm, I get into a beach
vibe every summer and I grow it out and I'm taping, watch it happens live last. This year,
I also this summer lost some weight. And I think that when your face is thinner, you can carry
off longer hair better. And so I was like, oh, wait, this actually now looks better because my face
is a little thinner.
So I think there's something happening in tandem.
Oh, that's so interesting.
And when you went on this, is it like a health journey or you're just like, I need to
lose weight?
Both.
Are you like running?
Are we working out?
We're doing everything.
Do you feel better?
I feel great.
Yes.
I've seen some people being like, he seems like in a good mood on the show recently, which I
didn't know if it was just because it was also like you were just coming off a vacation
from summer.
I am in a major natural high, even though I love edible.
and whatever but I'm feeling
I just moved into like my dream
apartment I have two kids
my show got picked up for two years
everything is so good knock on wood
that I'm just
and everything and I feel good
about myself and it really does
at the beginning in May
I couldn't button my suits
I was kind of at an all time high
and I was like I didn't feel good
about myself and I'm someone
who usually feels
pretty damn good about myself
What was your advice for food? What were you
eating? I was eating everything
and just drinking a lot and I was just snacking
a lot and I have kids and I'm making
them. My dad's like, my dad
my son is like
yeah I don't want any more mac and cheese
and I'm like well I'll finish it and like
waffles and let's all get ice cream
and burgers and so it's like I was like a hoover
I was hoovering food
it's so bad. No self-control
and then it watched what happened
live. Oh, Andy, this chocolate chip cookie company sent you this huge thing. And then I have two tequila
on the show and I'm like, where's that cookie? So, like, I was a psycho. I was just a psycho.
Oh, my God. Okay, well, I think that you looked great, then you look great now, but I'm happy that you
feel good. I feel great. Okay, so you don't have clippins in your hair. I was thinking, though,
are you a high maintenance or low maintenance person? The lowest. Really? Well, in terms of what?
I don't know, just like your life. Like, what's the most high maintenance thing about you?
Well, I'm pretty picky in terms of travel and hotels and things like that.
I'm a man of taste, okay?
Oh, daddy.
Yes, you are.
And so I'm very picky about things like that.
I'm picky in terms of how I like my show produced or professional.
I'm professionally picky.
If I go into a reunion, I'm picky about how the day is going to go.
Oh, we are going to get to the reunion stuff because holy,
fucking shit but we're gonna get there we're gonna ease in we're gonna ease it's a journey we're
let's ease in take care of me i'm gonna take care of you make love to me slowly why don't you make love
to the daddy game right now and tell them what your tagline is let's start like real housewives
we've all we got to do it you do to yours look at the camera tell the girls i'm a father of two
but a daddy to many oh my now did you come up with that on your own did someone come up with
the four you know i think i came up with that and even if you didn't just go with it
just fucking lie yes um in what ways are you a daddy
I take care of people.
I am very decisive.
I am a little bossy.
I am a top.
I am, yeah, I'm super, I'm pretty opinionated.
I like to be in control.
I think daddies are in control.
So you're dominating it all.
Yes.
Okay, you've done your radio show at Sirius XM for, what, almost 10 years?
I've had my radio channel.
for 10 years. I have two channels on Sirius, but it is the 10th anniversary of Radio Andy right now. Thanks. It's pretty fucking incredible. Thanks. I'm excited about it. Okay. I have heard that you've blacklisted celebrities from coming on Watch What Happens Live. What does it take for a guest to actually piss you off? And is that true? Wow. You know what? There's a short list. Okay. Okay. And it either there have been people who've been not nice to my staff. That will get.
you on the list.
I mean, unless you're a huge star.
And then it's like, okay, whatever.
That's kind of, you know.
You're like, treat them like shit.
It's bad.
She's a diva and that's so fierce.
She was a cunt.
You're like, come back soon, babe.
Love you.
And then I'm like, sorry to my staff member.
Like, you know what?
I mean, we all have to deal with it.
No, but so I mean, no, I think that would, that would get you on there.
I think, you know, I think people who just,
come on. There are people who just
have had so many
stipulations about the interview and I'm like
you know what? Let's not
do this. Like it's good. We're good
because also the expectation with me is
that I'm going to go there much like you
and so
I
it's like
I'm not doing this. Right. I'm not trying
to make you uncomfortable but you got to play the game.
Exactly. Okay, wait. Could you name one person?
Probably
not.
Okay. Okay. We're going to play one of
games. Mary Shagg Kill.
Okay. Howard Stern.
Okay. Tom Sandoval. Craig Conover.
Oh, I would...
Oh, interesting. Okay.
Well, that is a little bit of an HR issue because Craig is still on Bravo.
So I think I'm going to make it easy. I'm going to marry Howard.
You know, I mean, listen. I'm going to shag Sandoval because I do think he is very easy. He's
He's like one of the prettiest men that I've, he's a very pretty looking man.
Absolutely.
I've never met him.
And Craig, I'm going to have to kill only because it's an HR issue.
And I just want him, I don't want him to feel uncomfortable if I was like, I would drag Craig.
True.
So we're kind of reading between the lines that maybe if he's off of Bravo soon, you would slot him.
Maybe he'd be in play a little bit.
I love Craig.
Okay.
That's a good answer.
Okay, now we're going to play a call her daddy game.
It's called confessor text.
That's why I had you bring your phone out.
Here's how it worse.
I'm going to ask you a juicy question.
You can answer the question.
Then we move on to the next.
If you don't want to answer the question, you then have to send a text to a person.
that is in that bowl and the text is written.
Three of the four people in that bowl
I've actually interviewed and they're your friends,
so that will be fun.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
Number one, how much money did you make last year?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Really?
I thought you weren't going to answer that.
Are you fucking kidding me?
There's no way I'm answering that.
Why not?
Because I feel like it's douchy.
And I feel like, frankly,
I'm in a position in my life where I'm making money that is totally there's an incredible wage
inequity with people that I work with and also people who do jobs that are way more important
than mine like special ed teachers or home hospice care I mean you're self-aware it is not
fair no one needs to hear ridiculous love text who's it too Lisa Vanderpump
What does it say?
We're going to shake up the Beverly Hills cast.
Who do you think I should cut next season?
What's it going to take to get you back on Housewives?
You either text one of those.
Which one do you want to do?
I think I'll text her.
I think I'll text her.
Well, she's going to say Kyle.
Stop.
Shaking up BH cast.
Who should we?
Who should we part?
I'm saying it.
with.
Look at the smirk on your fucking face.
Okay.
You're like a little shit.
Okay.
Do it matter how much money you make?
I think that's easy.
That's easy. That's easy.
So you think she's going to say, Kyle?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, next.
What public relationship...
If it's, and she's so cheek.
She'll probably say goodbye, Kyle.
Okay.
What public relationship do you think is purely PR?
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Or has been PR?
I suspected that Amaya Papaya and her guy, I was like, I don't know.
Because you got the vibes from the reunion?
No.
Even before the reunion, I was like, I went into that feeling a little like, is this?
Are they on or off?
And did you think it was both of them playing in or do you think it was Brian using Amaya?
Because that's, I think, a huge conspiracy.
I didn't have an opinion about who was working the other.
You just thought it was fake.
I just thought, I don't know if I would say it was fake,
but I was wondering if it either had legs or it was still going.
You may have been right because they're done.
Okay, what really went down between Brandy Glanville and Caroline Manzo?
You know what?
If it were up to me, you would be seeing the entire thing.
I would like nothing more than for everyone to see that.
Wouldn't it just legal?
It's not my, you know what?
Some things happen at Bravo that go or on Bravo or on the shows where people are like,
why did you do this?
Why did you do that?
Or why didn't you keep this person or whatever?
And I will say there are situations where it's in the network's hands and not me.
I'm a free agent and I am a executive producer of all of the Housewives shows, but certainly
not the last word.
I'm a loud voice in the room, but not the only voice.
Okay, good to know.
What work have you had done?
I've had no work done.
I have had, I lost 25 pounds this year.
I started just, I think, this year to get a teeny bit of Botox in my forehead.
I've had it done twice.
You've got movement.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's like, it's a teeny bit.
I am thinking of having a smidge more.
I don't want to look crazy.
You look great.
But that is it.
I've had nothing done.
Not a thing.
You're so fucking real for that.
I love that.
Yeah.
I also feel like if I do have something done, I'm going to have to immediately talk about it because I ask every housewife, what have you had done?
And I feel like it would be so hypocritical.
This summer, I microdosed a GLP one.
And I immediately talked about it when I came back from break after Labor Day because I was like,
I will be the hypocrite of the universe for not saying this
because of every question I've asked.
I will be such an asshole.
So I just knew that I had to do it.
What is a GLP1?
It's like a Mungaro, Wagovi, whatever, yeah.
No, I saw a clip this morning of you talking to,
I think it was Larsa, and you were like,
she was like, I had my boobs done.
I had this end, and you're like, your butt.
She was like, my boobs, you're like, and your butt done.
I was like, honestly, Andy, love, fucking love it.
Okay, which housewife's firing caused the most behind the scenes chaos?
Huh.
Behind the scenes chaos.
I would say, look, I would say when we totally revamped Roney, and I would also say when we let go of at the end of season for Roney, when we let go of Jill, Alex Kelly, Cindy Barshop.
I think that was kind of a big thing.
But I have to say, I mean, the chaos behind the scenes, it wasn't true.
You know, it was just while we're doing something very bold.
Okay.
Okay.
Have you ever slept with a member of the Bravo universe?
No.
Never.
Never.
And that's just been an intentional or it hasn't presented itself.
I think that even I understand the rules of the game there as far as that goes.
There.
a couple that I would that that in my mind I've thought like well that that would be interesting
but yeah I think that would probably especially at this point be unwise yeah don't you I completely
agree you should keep where you're at and don't fuck it up all good um do you think Wendy from Potomac
faked her home invasion you know what I love Wendy from Potomac and I I am
really very strongly
hoping that
this
doesn't pan out to be
anything. I think
she's been a great role model
and she's really led with her education
and her family
values and so
I don't know anything about the case
except that I was caught
totally off guard by that.
Okay, text two more people
because you answered all the fucking questions.
I knew you.
No, come on, pick one, pick one.
Take a look, take a look.
I know, holy shit, I need to ask you a harder question.
Anderson, I've gotten myself in a bad financial situation.
This is awkward.
Can you help me?
He would be like, you're high.
What if instead of shots this year, New Year's Eve, we do shrooms?
I think the ratings would be crazy.
You don't think I've suggested that already.
Okay.
Fuck.
John Mayer, I'm going on Caller Daddy with Alex.
Any advice?
We've already had that conversation.
What did he say?
What did he say?
He's like, you're going to be great.
Great. He goes, he was like, deliver.
Deliver. He was like, you know, you know what you're doing.
Fair. Love you, John.
I think I'm ready for my music debut. Will you help me?
He'd be like, absolutely, baby.
S.J., just realized I never asked. You're leaving shoes in your will for Lucy, right?
She'd be like, there will be something special.
Hypothetically speaking, if I wanted to buy Carrie's iconic pink dress from you, how much would it call?
She would be like, who's on your phone?
Okay, good.
So I got the right one with Lisa.
Yeah.
Okay.
When I was prepping for this interview, I realized we have something in common, which is we both went to Boston University.
Wow.
And so did Howard.
Yes.
It's like a breeding ground for serious X-M people.
Glorious.
Look at us.
Like, how would you describe yourself as a freshman at that point in your life?
I was in the closet, hard to believe.
I was a hippie.
I was a deadhead.
I still am a dead head.
but I was like a straight-ish version
so I was a little more like
hey
you know I was like
I talked different
there's video of me at the time
I'm like putting it on
I'm like yeah
and
but you knew you were gay at that point
oh did I
part of the reason I went to be you
frankly was because not only
they had a great college of communication
but is that where you went
yep yeah they
it was a city school with no campus
and I didn't want to get sucked into an environment
where I would be found out
and I wanted to be able to disappear in a world
and I also was super scared of the fraternal system
which I now am understanding is where all of the gay sex happens
so I'm like what the hell I should have gone to like Indiana
or whatever and these idiot confused straight guys
would be blowing me every night and I
actually would be you know so that was dumb because all my friends are like oh i was i mean
sigma kai at cornell not to blow anyone up but like the stories i have heard like there are so many
gay friends that i have and i'm like wait you were on the swim team where and what happened so
holy fuck but i get it because it's it feels like it would be like a homophobic situation meanwhile
they're like fucking doing you in the bathroom and then they're going to
reunite with their girlfriend. They're like creeping into your, they're all creepers at night drunk.
And then they're like, what? This didn't happen. Wait, and where did you grow up?
St. Louis. Okay. And where'd you grow up? Pennsylvania. Okay. So I was excited about B.U.
too, but did you, was your family supportive when you came out? Okay. They were great.
You were just socially nervous to come out. Well, look, it was a different time. Yeah.
And everybody was dying of AIDS. I came out in 1988. I mean, this was a totally different time.
There were not many gay people on TV at the time.
Will and Grace wasn't on.
So it was the real world was starting at that time.
And I think the real world started in like 90.
And that was like the first gay guy.
You know, my age was on TV.
So it was a very different time.
Totally.
And it was scary.
It was a way scarier.
Even as liberal as my parents were, we got the New York Times delivered to our door.
step when I was growing up, but I didn't have a sense that me being gay was going to be that
amazing news for anyone. And also, the idea of having a family if you were coming out of the
closet was not, I remember the conversation I had with my mom. And one of the first things she said
was, I probably would have hated your wife anyway, which is a great fucking line. And she probably
would have, by the way. It would have been a nightmare for me. So, but I, I said,
She was like, she said during that time that I came out with her, to her, she said, I'm really
mourning the loss of the life that I wanted for you. And I said, well, what was that life?
And she was like, well, like you having a family or you being a dad. And I was like, well, I could
still be a dad. And she, and I didn't believe it when I said it. And she didn't believe what I was
selling because it really was not. How was I going to be a dad? And now that would never happen.
And now two children.
no but that did she text back no Anderson did oh you didn't even text him oh wow it's good news for him
oh that's good Anderson got a little piece of good news um no I can I cannot imagine what it would
have been like back then and I also though get what your headspace was of like if I go to a city
I can kind of go all around and be you is like that like you can go to the west end you can go to
the southeast like you can go anywhere and kind of disappear yeah which is not
normal for college experiences?
Yes.
During this time,
though,
weren't you really
kind of clear career-wise?
Like, you were in journalism.
Yeah.
Did you know what you wanted to do?
I wanted to be,
my total dream
was to be on,
be myself on television.
But there were not many places
where you could do that.
Again,
like maybe being a VJ,
which I auditioned for
to be an MTV VJ,
I was,
I think I auditioned at that.
I did not have my shit together.
I didn't have my look
to.
together. I looked so much better now than I did as a kid. I just was like, I had this kind
of jufro and it was just bad. It was bad, bad fashion bad. And so I wanted to do that.
And then my last internship was at CBS News and my kind of mentor there was like, you know,
your eyes are so crossed. You'll never be on TV. And I was like, oh my God, okay. And then I went
behind the camera. And so I kind of gave up my dream of being on TV. I thought maybe I could
be a reporter somewhere, but I didn't want to go to a small market and work my way up. I wanted
to go straight to NYC, man, which is what I did. And I just started working behind the scenes.
Wait, someone's saying that to you is kind of fucking shitty. I'm saying, you know what, by the way,
I came up at a time where it was totally legal to say shitty things to everybody to their face.
and it was like another day at work.
So, I mean, I will say it toughened us all up.
It was another, it was another universe of time.
I've had pencils thrown at me in meetings.
I mean, like, I've had people say so many tears, so much stuff.
But like, you know, I feel tougher as a result of it.
I was going to ask you, like early days of your career, obviously you have to start somewhere.
Like, what was the most humbling bitch work that you had to do?
Oh, I mean, I was working on the morning show at CB.
ripping scripts at three in the morning.
I mean, I was, I was, but I was like, whoa, I made it.
I thought, I was like, this is so cool, because my check came from CBS.
That is fucking cool.
And I worked at the CBS Broadcast Center.
And I was like, I was 23 or 22.
I was, I was the youngest, I kept being the youngest.
I was the youngest, like, associate producer.
I was the youngest producer.
And so I was like a success story at that time
But I was doing all sorts of bitch work
So but you moved to New York City after college
Which is amazing
And when you're living this life of CBS
Are you partying?
Are you exploring your sexuality?
Oh, I was fucking ever.
Oh, it was awesome.
I got no sleep ever.
I worked and I was saying, you know,
there was no grinder.
There was no,
so if you wanted to meet people,
you would go out and there were so many more gay bars in New York City and there were gay bars in
every neighborhood. It was like random neighborhoods in the East 30s. There were five gay. I mean,
it was crazy. So you'd be home and then at 11 at night you'd be like, yeah, screw this. I'm going to
go to the works. There was a bar called The Works on Columbus Avenue and 81st Street. It was so great
and all these video bars and they just showed videos and you would mean you would go alone
and you would meet people and you would run into people that you knew from the neighborhood and
whatever and it was just a different universe and I think that people are so fucked by social
media and everything and it was it was so cool I met so many people and I'm not saying I slept
with so many people I'm not saying I didn't but um but it was awesome and I just feel like when
you move to New York you choose life and you are choosing to live and that goes
today as it went yesterday but I was like I was truly living my dream then and I was like
this is the only place I want to be and I don't care if I get three hours of sleep for the
whole time that I live here because this is so amazing and I did I relate a lot to that when I
graduated from BU I went right to New York City I had like no fucking job I moved in with a boyfriend
that I hated and I was like let's fucking go yeah and I was out every fucking night I was at the
clubs. I was sucking dick and I was having a great fucking time. And I was like, let's go.
Yes. And you lean in and you have fun because you know it's not forever, forever that you can
like be in that moment. Okay, wait. But also I was like, I will show up at 5 a.m. to work. Great.
Perfect. And I'll be excited about it. So when do you get on camera? Oh, I didn't get on camera for
many years later. I got on camera when I, I, um, in the year 2000, Barry Diller offered me a job.
running programming at this startup cable channel.
And I knew Barry socially, still know Vanderpump.
Turn your fucking phone up.
We're done.
So I'll check it at the end.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Barry offered me a job.
I left CBS News after 10 years.
I was running programming at this teeny cable channel called Trio
that nobody ever saw or heard of.
But I learned the ropes of kind of cable programming from this team that
from Barry Diller and this team he created,
which is amazing.
I mean, that's amazing.
Highly recommend his book, which came out this year.
It's incredible.
It's amazing.
So worked there, the channel got, the plug was pulled, and Barry, this company merged with NBC
Universal, which owned Bravo.
I was being offered the job of head of current programming on Bravo.
Okay.
But Viacom was starting a gay channel called.
logo. And I was like, wait, I'm the gayest guy in TV. I should be running this channel called
logo. So I went and interviewed for that job, which I didn't get. And I was like, are you
fucking getting me? You're not giving me this job? I couldn't believe it. So I went and worked
for Bravo. Not getting that job. Saved my life. I wouldn't be calling you daddy if I got that
job. So like, honestly, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be, you know. So anyway, a few years,
into it now we've launched
Project Runway and Top Chef
and workout and flipping out
and here come the Housewives
and I would
say
I started emailing
my bosses
dishy behind the scene
stuff from the set
of a show that I was on
and they were my boss
Lawrence Olasnik said wow you're a
really good writer you should be
the first network executive to have a
blog on Bravo TV on the website. So I started blogging as a network executive every day. And I started
also talking about what I did the night before. And I went to Santropay last week and all this
stuff. And then as a result of the blog, I started getting interviewed by CNN and stuff like
talking head stuff. We need a TV executive to talk about sex in the city ending or this
happening or that happening. And so I started doing that. And my boss was like, and I was like, and she knew
that I wanted to be on TV, that that was my goal.
She said, what if we turn your blog into like a show on bravoTV.com and you can, after show,
after Top Chef.
And that's how watch what happened started.
And that's how the reunion started all because of this show online.
And my boss believed in me and gave me the chance.
That is an incredible story also for anyone listening.
because I feel like I have a lot of people at that point
where they're maybe at the precipice of feeling like
they thought they were going to get something in their career
and they didn't and you are literally breathing proof
to be like if you got denied from a job
it could be actually the best fucking thing
that's ever happened to you because look at you.
You wouldn't be probably exactly where
I'm sure you would have made it in a different capacity.
No, but different, but I don't know that I would have made it on air
because it's highly unconventional
that someone would believe in you behind the scenes
to the point the other two things I will say as life lessons were that even though I had to pivot
from being on the air, I was so excited to be a producer and I was very grateful for all these
opportunities that that was presenting me. And I felt like, wow, this is awesome. So I still was
happy to be working in television. The second thing is when I was getting these opportunities
in front of the camera, I was not so full of myself to believe.
I wasn't getting high on my own fumes.
So I wasn't saying to Bravo, well, now you need to pay me like a shit ton of money because
I'm on the air and I'm a star.
I waited until I knew that I was worth something to them.
And I knew that I had to be even better at my day job in charge of programming because
this on-air stuff was the chance they were giving me and it was not the thing.
What I was hired for was to be in charge of programming.
And I was like, now it's not the time to take your eye off this wheel because they could take this away at any minute.
Right. It's like really making sure you're good at your fucking day job. So that if your boss does give you like, okay, you can do the side project essentially. Don't make that your whole fucking MO because you need to still have your core, core, core. And you did that.
Yes. So when did you though get over? This guy tells you, you know, oh, your eyes or whatever. You're not going to make it on. How did you find the confidence in front of camera?
Well, I've never been short of confidence.
Okay.
So I knew I could do it.
And when my boss had confidence in me to do it, and also I was doing these interviews and I
was like, you know, they're like, okay, he can talk and be on TV.
And also, being a producer, I was producing myself.
I understand how to be on TV because I'm a good producer.
That's a great point.
That makes you, you have a different leg up because a lot of talent comes in and they're like,
where do I look?
And oh, that's a camera.
And they don't even know what the fuck a camera is.
That's why the first night I went live on Watch What Happens Live, I wasn't nervous because I understand TV time and I understand how much I can fit in three minutes.
And when my EP in my ear is saying, you know, you have a minute left.
I know what I can do with that minute.
And I know how I want to end the act.
And I know what I want to tease to.
And I'm producing myself.
If I was not a TV producer, I would not be as successful as I am, I think.
Yes.
It's interesting to note that when I did go on camera with this after show,
All the comments were, oh, my God, that guy has such crossed eyes.
So it did come into play.
And I had to get over it.
And my mom was like, you don't have crossed eyes.
I'm like, apparently I really do.
So I would joke about it on the air or whatever.
But then when Watch What Happens Live started, I did have a couple years of imposter syndrome
where I was like, who do you think you are?
You're not a late night comic.
You're not a stand up.
You don't deserve this.
I did have for the first times really feelings, and I had to overcome that.
And also, people online were saying that I gave myself my own talk show, which wasn't possible.
Everyone has a boss.
I worked for a big company.
So I wasn't able to kind of circumvent an entire universe and give myself a show.
But it makes sense.
So, Andy, because I think you are essentially talking about infiltrating a space that didn't exist.
like you're saying like I couldn't I didn't relate to anyone that was on air because I yes I wasn't a comedian or I wasn't an Oprah host or whatever it be so you're kind of coming into this lane that you're forging for yourself and then when people are talking shit on you that imposter syndrome is natural because you have no one to compare yourself to but like no I'm doing it kind of like this person exactly right meanwhile it's the most brilliant thing to try to create your own path but it's not fucking easy and you kind of have to force people and train them to be like I'm just going to stay consistent and being
consistent eventually people like
yeah we kind of like this guy right who cares who gives a
fuck about how he looks right yeah okay love we have to go back
so all this is starting first season of real housewives
can you describe that era and can you kind of tell the story to anyone that
doesn't know of like how did this franchise come to be okay I will
give it to in a nutshell that um great guy named Scott Dunlop
lives in Orange County I believe lived in Cotto de Casa and lived near
Vicki and the gang brought us a tape of the women. And it was kind of a more of a curb your enthusiasm
style thing, but they weren't actors. So it was kind of confusing. At the same time, we saw something
in these women. I mean, it was interesting. I mean, Vicky had a grotto in her backyard, but she was
an insurance agent, but she talked about, they are all talking about their breast implants. And I don't
want to be a creepy guy to talk about how big their boobs were, but they were talking about
how big their boobs were, and their boobs were big. But they were moms, and their kids were
very attractive, and they spoke to their kids in a way that we hadn't seen before. And Desperate
Housewives was the number one show on TV. So we were like, what if we do this, and we call it
real Housewives? Now, I'm a huge soap opera fan. In my mind, the greatest thing about this was they
lived in the same community major all my children day one me pine valley they all go to the same
restaurants they go to the same club whatever so in my mind that would be the greatest thing there
were it was a team of people sherry levine francis barrick lorenzo lasnik amy intracoso davis this whole
great group at bravo we looked at this and made these rules of the show the rules of the show we would
only hear from the women.
The men were in the background.
We would, you know, we would put a banner in front of everyone's scene,
giving one of the women ownership of whatever the scene was.
Now, these are still the rules of the show.
When a scene starts on Potomac, it says, Giselle in the bottom, and you see Giselle.
I mean, this is the format that we all kind of figured out.
and season one was really a challenge to produce we all i remember the meeting in my boss's office
because we weren't if the edit was troubled we weren't we didn't have the footage we thought
we had i remember the meeting where we brought to my boss it's going to cost us 400 and i think
50 000 we're going to lose if we flush the toilet on this show because it wasn't going to
well. And I, lazy, whatever, was like, yeah, I mean, if this goes away, I won't be so upset.
You know, whatever. It seemed like it wasn't going to. She was like, let's do it. Let's stay with it.
Okay, we're staying with that. Can you imagine? My whole life has been made on this show.
Like, I owe these women everything in this show. Like, it is so crazy because I think in terms almost of
my age group watching, it is a different version, but reminds me of when Laguna Beach came
on to the scene. And then the OC also was happening. I think the OC came first and then Laguna
Beach. And it was like, we're watching the OC, aka Desperate Housewives. And then it's like,
how are we not going to now get the reality version? Because California and the rich and the
famous and the whole thing, it's like voyeurism. People just, when your kid from fucking Pennsylvania
or first St. Louis, right? I would have died to just have a glimpse
into Paris Hilton's life or Lauren Conrad's or you know what I mean these women and so the fact
that you guys got to capture it but the mom aspect is something that was so fucking new and I remember
you went on to debate essentially Gloria Steinem of whether I lost the debate okay okay well I think
anyone would lose any feminist she was on my show and I stupidly and we're live I was like you say
this show is a minstrel show for women and whatever but
By the way, I know more feminists who love this show, Camille Pahlia being kind of a leading feminist, but I look, and Roxanne Gay, by the way, but also I look at a lot of famous very strong women like Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Sarah Paulson, you know, just on and on and on who view this show as a platform for women in their 50s who are, you know, owning their sexuality.
and making their own decisions and all this stuff.
So, yes, but that debate with Gloria Steinem,
maybe not my smartest moment, but, you know, I tried.
I definitely.
And she had never seen the show.
If you look at the show and you look at, you know,
clips of someone throwing wine or flipping a table,
you're going to think the worst.
I mean, I get it.
Absolutely.
And I think that's anything because I even do it with my show.
It's like the promos and the trailers,
it's meant to have you a little angry,
a little concerned, a little, I need to click on this.
And then once you settle in, you're like,
oh, this shit is actually really lovely and fun.
And of course there's a chaotic moment.
But it's not chaotic after chaotic after chaotic.
Yes.
But yeah, no, going up against Gloria Sinem for a feminist battle, sweetie.
Dope.
Love that for you.
Yeah.
I think everyone's obsessed, obviously, with, like, who does he like?
Who does he not like?
Top three favorite women of all time in the franchise.
It's really, I can't do it only because, first of all, it's kind of an HR issue and it's an ensemble show.
But I will say, if you think about, I will think that for me, I'm a very nostalgic person.
So, like, the length of time that I've known you always comes into play, you know?
Reunions.
Yes.
Okay, let's talk about it.
Okay.
First of all, what type of headspace are you getting into days leading up, the day of talk to me?
Used to be a really big deal for me.
Okay.
Leading up to the reunion, hours-long prep calls with the producers, speaking to the women in advance, the morning up, I would take a run.
I mean, like, I was in the thing.
I mean, to be honest, what do I do now?
I drop my kids off at school.
I go, I'm like, what color suit do you want me to wear?
What is the set?
I bring three ties.
I go, I'm like, come on, let's do it.
I mean, I am like so ready because also we, you know, look, I have one call with the production team and the network.
And I say, and we talk about the seating for the reunion.
I ask them, where are we shooting?
what suit am I wearing
and then
we talk about where the women are
and
you know we
I will have notes on the order of the day
sometimes I'll say I don't think it makes sense
to do it this way
X and Y is the elephant
in the room can we please do it at the top
of the day sometimes we save
the biggest mess till the end
you know when are the husbands coming out
why does that make sense
why is this person coming
you know so those are all the conversations we have in advance and then day of it's game day
I'm ready to play the game I have done hundreds of reunions at this point so it's crazy is that
it's crazy it's crazy okay wait has anyone during a reunion ever really really like pushed your
patience and you've been like I'm so fucking over you yeah like give me an example well I mean the last
couple jersey reunions I had a really hard time with and by the way it is I don't like
screaming at women it is a bad look but there are moments and they left them in the show
where i'm like shut the fuck up or whatever or be quiet so yeah and there by the way sometimes
the only way that i can get people to be quiet is to literally be like shy like go crazy
and there are sometimes where i'll say i will say to the
Can you mark that?
You're not using that because like, you know, and, you know, there are enough that are in the show, but like some are just, they're not, it's just me talking over a cacophony.
No, it actually looks like they're your children and you're like, you're actually at a little like school event and you're trying to keep these kids in fucking line.
I do think people love when you get nasty though because it does get you, it takes a second to get you to that level.
But when you get to that fucking level.
makes more than a second.
Yeah, yeah.
You go fucking feral.
Who do you think is the worst person
when it comes to speaking over people at reunions?
I think that Lisa Barlow,
I think that there are some people who,
it's just harder for them,
and it's no disrespect.
It's harder for them to have the intake of what someone's saying
and then speak back and then, you know,
figure it out.
But I think Lisa Barlow might be one.
I think Teresa historically has, that's been a growth area for her.
Love you.
I think that I feel like maybe Toya unmarried a medicine could be in there.
Love you, Toya, no disrespect.
I think that Dr. Simone also, now that I'm in the married to medicine universe, who else?
I mean, there are some kind of feel like Jacqueline,
Rita on Jersey may have been there.
Yeah.
It's good.
Yeah.
We need to talk about Love Island reunion.
Okay.
Because you are like, I agree.
You've done so many Real Housewives reunions.
You're in that Bravo universe.
And then all of a sudden, it's announced that you're doing the Love Iron Reunion.
And just for a little, okay, I was good.
I wanted to hear because for context, I started doing Love Island interviews about two years
ago, pretty new.
It was really mostly one thing.
US got big.
I had done an interview with Olivia
Atwood who was from season three of
UK. I was like in it.
But you know US cares more about the US stuff
I guess. So I did Leah
and Rob from I don't even know if you know who those
are. Okay. It was the biggest
fucking season until this past
season. Okay. And I'm telling you
it was more intense the
feedback than when I interviewed the fucking vice
president of the United States. I had to
be so on my fucking game. These
fans, I wish they took it
as seriously as like voting for a president
than they do fucking voting for Love Island.
Yeah, yeah. So I couldn't help
but be like, talk to me about your experience
because I love it too. Yeah. But damn,
it's fucking intense. No, I think that
the fans are
super passionate
and
you know, they reminded
listen, I am used to this because
Housewives fans are
really passionate.
And so, and there have
And, like, Jersey fans, for years, there were,
Teresa's fan base are called tree huggers.
Oh.
And, like, there was a, there was a narrative going on around the tree huggers
that I was super unfair to Teresa and that I hated her.
And Teresa and I have always had a really good relationship.
But I think that there was a period of time where she was getting confused
by what the tree huggers were saying online.
Because also, if you look at certain clips in isolation, you may think,
what does this guy think of me or why is he being like this with me on the show or whatever so she would come and think
and before she went away she and i had a very serious lunch together where we kind of really i was like you know
like this is kind of a narrative that's happening outside of the show and whatever we really
and she's like well i've left feeling this way or whatever but we really talked it out and it was great
but um so i've been there with passionate fans okay um this
one was, I was like, whoa, because I think a lot of the folks who watch Love Island weren't
clued in on you, a Andy Cohen reunion, which is, I go there, I don't break a sweat. I'm going
to ask you. I'm going to come back at you. And the thing about the housewives is I am also
one of their bosses in theory
so I do
when I'm wearing my
housewise reunion hat
I am trying to be
as the most neutral version of
myself while also representing what the fans
are saying because I know what the fans are saying
on Vanderbump
rules or Southern Charmer whatever
Summerhouse I do get in the weeds
a little bit with them a little more
and it's kind of fun for me
it's one of the reasons I love those shows
and why I think people enjoy watching me doing those shows.
But guys, look, I love giving men with Peter Pan syndrome shit who make bad decisions.
Like, I love it.
It's like a watch what happens live.
Classic.
Jacks, come on in.
Let's talk.
So with Love Island, it just seemed like the perfect.
I was like, oh, this is going to be so fun, whatever.
people were upset that I was asking hudda about her dating life outside the show and i'm like
you were just on a reality show about your dating life if anything in the universe has ever been
more full fair game it is me asking you who you are dating now and who you by the way have been
on red carpets with so that there should be any backlash or commentary on
on that. I was like, oh, this is special. This is clooky. And by the way, the people,
the hudda fans, and I'm sure they have a hudda hive or something like that, they were
really brutal. And what you need to know is, I thought she made the show. Like, she was amazing. She was
on your show. Like, so I was real, she was my person that I was most excited about,
talking to because there was so much to talk to her about.
But also, you can't give me the answer of, oh, that was so long ago and I've changed when
it was three weeks ago. So like, I'm going to say, I get it that you're a whole different
person in four weeks. But like, real talk. Like, that was four weeks ago. I am going to be
the guy that says that. And I think for Bravo fans, if anything, they're like, oh, he's going light.
That was the other thing. People were.
were like, y'all don't realize that was Andy Light.
That was light.
That was kind of.
Well, because I was going to ask, did you watch any of the season?
I watched the entirety of the season.
You did?
You don't think I watched the season?
I wouldn't do a reunion show without watching the season.
You watched every fucking episode?
Daddy.
Oh.
What the fuck, Daddy?
Watch the whole thing.
I'm not going to host something as important as the Love Island reunion and not watch the season.
I was wondering.
Why, is there a conjecture that I didn't?
I didn't watch it?
Everyone's like, yeah, he had his fucking assistance watch and then send him nuts.
That is insulting.
I take my job seriously.
When did you have time to watch?
Like at night, you would just watch it every night?
I make time, Daddy.
Okay, I love that.
No, no, no, I was very, very...
It was my job.
I took it seriously.
And I love that you took it seriously.
And I don't love that there's fucking 18 episodes a week.
Dude.
Because, like, I have two kids, 10 Housewives series.
you know I have I have a big life but I watched it all it consumes your life like I was doing the
same I was good ready to go for next year I have the schedule I know what I'm doing you think you're
going to do it oh am I going to host a reunion yeah oh I hope so I let me back I agree with you I think
I like it because it's during summerish yeah so it's during summertime I plan my stuff I get ready
I usually want to have like the top two talked about people on and I'm ready to fucking go and hoodo was
amazing. Amaya was amazing. Like, they're, they come out and they're ready to go. And they're
superstars. They are. They pop off. Okay, we're going to do some Bravo fire, rapid fire. Who is the
hottest husband on housewives? Oh, that's a good question. You know what? Angel, the new Potomac
housewife, her husband, former NFL player, he's, he's kind of, he's bringing it right now.
Love. But, I mean, there have been many. Okay. If you could throw a drink in any housewives'
husband's face, who would it be? Oh, wow. There was, well, first of all, I don't condone
violence. Oh, yeah, but like theoretically, throw it. And there was a one-season housewife
from Jersey called Amber. It would be her husband. Perfect. I'm dead. We don't condone it.
We're just kidding. It's hypothetical. Who's a cast member you wanted so bad but couldn't get to
sign on? Oh, there was a woman in, well,
Well, on Roney, you know, people complained about the lack of diversity on Roney for years.
And there were a few very high profile women of color in New York that we were, that I was sitting with.
I was meeting with that that didn't happen.
So that one was Erica Reed, L.A. Reed's wife.
And we were, and L.A. didn't want to be on the show.
I mean, it was like a whole thing.
And I know Erica.
And she's amazing.
And she was kind of the one that got.
away for Rooney for years.
It's good answer.
There have been a few.
Okay, which petty feud lasted way too long, in your opinion?
Well, oh gosh.
I mean, there have been so many.
I know.
Name one.
I mean, Gretchen and Tamara right now are arguing about things that happened 15 years ago,
but they haven't had the space to do it.
So it's kind of fair.
So, like, it is fair.
Okay.
But I'm trying to think of one.
No, that's a good one.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people are clued into that right now.
Yeah.
Okay, who's the biggest douchebag in Bravo universe?
Um, me?
Perfect.
Should Karen rejoin Potomac now that she's out of prison?
I love Karen.
I hope so.
Okay.
Would you rather have Karen or Jen Shaw as your prison sell me?
Karen.
Okay.
What's been the most iconic Bravo moment that immediately just pops your head over the years ago?
We got the yacht.
We got the yacht.
Okay.
Um, which has happened?
Housewife has made the best song in their attempted singing career.
Oh, okay.
I love Candace Dillard Bassett's song Drive Back.
Oh, never heard it.
Absolutely love it.
Go stream it, everyone.
Yeah.
Do you think it's better than Sheena Shea's Good As Gold?
I love Good as Gold.
I am a good as gold.
Don't come for Good as Gold.
It's good.
Yes.
It's good.
Okay.
Was Katie lying about what Gretchen told her about naked wasted?
Unclear. Lots of stories. Watch the reunion.
Okay. Who is the best housewife casting edition of the past year?
Stacey on Potomac.
Love.
Putting housewives aside. How do you think your friends? How do you think your friends would
describe you. Connected. Like I stay in touch. Okay. As busy as I am, like I'm always in touch with my
friends. Love. What does a typical night out with John Mayer look like? It is us going to dinner.
We always sit on the same side of the booth. We sit next to each other always. Do hold hand. That is our
spot. No, but I do as the night goes on, find myself sinking into him because he'll have his arm around me.
And I do.
And as a matter of fact, we were at the Sunset Tower last week.
Stop.
And I was getting so physical with him by the end that he was like, Andy.
But I was kind of using his body to tell a story about a guy.
And but then I was like, I was in my cups a little bit.
We were in a puddle of laughter.
It ends.
And we, we, we love each other deeply.
We actually do.
I can tell.
Do you think you're like secretly in love with him?
I'm not secretly in love with him.
You are.
No, we love each other.
If I could find a gay guy that was him, it would be magic.
But you know what?
I don't, I am so grateful for the love that we have.
You're going to keep it like that.
Yeah.
Okay, if you could set John up with anyone in Hollywood, who would it be?
I don't know.
It would be someone, it would be someone who has,
their own thing going who is their own success who is just smart and funny and just someone
strong and independent i know we're going to have to call him after i saw some uh news that he was
seen with a certain woman so i got a confirm or deny with him john we'll call you after this um
okay talk to me about anderson cooper you met him through a failed blind date is that correct
can you tell quickly what happened yeah our friend uh friend of ours it was
was the 90s. It was probably like 94. I remember where I was in my then apartment when I spoke
to him on the phone. And we were talking and I made the fatal mistake of a couple minutes in. I was
like, so Gloria Vanderbilt is your mom? I had no cooth or coolness. And he says that that was the
moment where he was like, I'm not going to go on a date with this queen. I mean, to be fair,
that last name is so. But let it come up.
but we wound up becoming really good friend we wound up we both were friends with barry diller
and we would go on these trips with barry and Anderson and I was like I love this guy and I
loved from the beginning making him laugh did you ever want to hook up with him no no no it was
immediately just friends yeah okay that's fair that's cute you guys are do you think you'll be
allowed to drink for yeah we've drank the last couple of okay you're fine we're good
And have they told you like keep it at a minimum or they're like let loose?
Yeah.
I think we know what we're doing.
Okay.
I like when you guys drink more.
Who doesn't?
Okay.
Which of your friends would you trust the most to set you up with someone?
Oh, uh, I would trust Anderson.
Mm-hmm.
Seems like he's got a good network.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you on the apps?
I'm on every app.
Oh.
Grindr, Scruff, Raya, Hinge.
I've never heard of Scruff.
Tinder.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Okay.
And are you putting.
pictures of yourself like this on your profile or are they selfies like are you doing work
pictures you're trying to avoid everything yeah like do you have some of you like onset at watch
what happens like um i think on my raya there may be one yeah just to confirm like it is really
let's be clear okay and do you think on grinder they think you're gonna like it's not actually
i've gotten kicked off grinder for for for being right impersonating yourself but you are
actually people have reported me oh my god so does most of the conversations start where they're
Like, is this actually you? Send proof?
You know, it's interesting.
Some people are too cool for school and they'll say they, nothing.
Some people are like, you look like him.
Some people are, why are you sending his picture?
Some people are like, ew.
I mean, like, I get it all.
It's actually really fucking annoying though that you're like, okay, I know I have to go through this first phase where they either have to like, hate me, pretend they hate me, love me, ask for a fucking proof.
and then we can start actually flirting.
Right.
A picture that I've sent for years on Grindr
is this picture that is, it's black and white
and it's kind of blurry.
So there's some doubt, it looks like me, it is me.
But some people could say,
I feel like it's a perfect first picture
