Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:26 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.
Starting point is 00:00:32 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.
Starting point is 00:00:38 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.
Starting point is 00:01:03 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.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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
Starting point is 00:01:49 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.
Starting point is 00:02:34 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
Starting point is 00:03:08 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.
Starting point is 00:03:28 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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
Starting point is 00:04:56 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?
Starting point is 00:05:09 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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
Starting point is 00:05:42 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
Starting point is 00:05:59 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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,
Starting point is 00:06:47 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.
Starting point is 00:07:16 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
Starting point is 00:07:49 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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.
Starting point is 00:08:57 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.
Starting point is 00:09:09 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
Starting point is 00:09:31 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
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:33 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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.
Starting point is 00:11:24 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?
Starting point is 00:11:36 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?
Starting point is 00:11:50 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:01 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.
Starting point is 00:13:10 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?
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:52 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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
Starting point is 00:14:50 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.
Starting point is 00:15:15 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.
Starting point is 00:15:28 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,
Starting point is 00:15:51 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,
Starting point is 00:16:11 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 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
Starting point is 00:17:47 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
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:19 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.
Starting point is 00:18:34 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?
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
Starting point is 00:19:09 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.
Starting point is 00:19:25 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.
Starting point is 00:19:41 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
Starting point is 00:19:55 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
Starting point is 00:20:09 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
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:48 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.
Starting point is 00:22:07 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?
Starting point is 00:22:55 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
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:00 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
Starting point is 00:24:11 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.
Starting point is 00:24:55 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.
Starting point is 00:25:24 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.
Starting point is 00:25:51 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
Starting point is 00:26:12 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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
Starting point is 00:27:09 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
Starting point is 00:27:58 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.
Starting point is 00:28:39 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.
Starting point is 00:28:54 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
Starting point is 00:29:19 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
Starting point is 00:29:56 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
Starting point is 00:30:17 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
Starting point is 00:30:32 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.
Starting point is 00:31:14 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
Starting point is 00:31:42 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
Starting point is 00:32:01 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.
Starting point is 00:32:41 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.
Starting point is 00:33:33 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,
Starting point is 00:33:57 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.
Starting point is 00:34:17 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.
Starting point is 00:34:40 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.
Starting point is 00:35:02 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
Starting point is 00:35:58 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
Starting point is 00:36:35 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
Starting point is 00:37:20 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.
Starting point is 00:38:05 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.
Starting point is 00:38:57 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
Starting point is 00:39:42 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.
Starting point is 00:40:50 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.
Starting point is 00:41:09 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.
Starting point is 00:41:24 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?
Starting point is 00:41:53 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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?
Starting point is 00:42:53 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
Starting point is 00:43:16 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
Starting point is 00:43:33 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
Starting point is 00:44:01 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.
Starting point is 00:44:53 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?
Starting point is 00:45:18 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.
Starting point is 00:45:41 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.
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:46:28 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.
Starting point is 00:46:47 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
Starting point is 00:47:03 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,
Starting point is 00:47:19 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.
Starting point is 00:47:36 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
Starting point is 00:48:01 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
Starting point is 00:48:46 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
Starting point is 00:49:14 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
Starting point is 00:49:31 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.
Starting point is 00:49:54 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
Starting point is 00:50:50 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.
Starting point is 00:51:30 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?
Starting point is 00:51:44 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?
Starting point is 00:51:57 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...
Starting point is 00:52:12 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
Starting point is 00:52:36 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'
Starting point is 00:53:20 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.
Starting point is 00:54:08 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.
Starting point is 00:54:22 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.
Starting point is 00:54:43 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.
Starting point is 00:54:50 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?
Starting point is 00:55:09 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.
Starting point is 00:55:23 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.
Starting point is 00:55:37 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.
Starting point is 00:55:53 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.
Starting point is 00:56:49 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.
Starting point is 00:57:13 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.
Starting point is 00:57:33 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
