In a recent interview, Andy Cohen, the host of “Watch What Happens Live,” reflected on a controversial moment with Oprah Winfrey during her appearance on the show back in 2013. Despite being a huge fan of Winfrey, Cohen couldn’t resist asking her if she had ever “taken a dip in the lady pond.” Winfrey quickly shut down the question with a firm “No, no, I have not. Thank you.”
Looking back, Cohen admitted that he probably should have left that question out, especially considering Winfrey’s iconic status. Even Winfrey’s friend Gayle King had to clarify what Cohen meant by “lady pond” to the media mogul.
But despite the misstep, Cohen still cherishes that moment as one of his favorites on the show. He also shared his admiration for another frequent guest, Patti LuPone, who never holds back and always brings the fun to the clubhouse.
Reflecting on the success of “Watch What Happens Live,” Cohen emphasized the importance of spontaneity, authenticity, and humor. He also mentioned that his focus now is on his children, the talk show, and keeping the “Real Housewives” franchise fresh for fans.
Overall, Cohen is grateful for the experiences and memories he’s made on the show, even if it means occasionally ruffling a few feathers in the process. The future looks bright for the talk show host as he continues to entertain viewers with his candid and lively interviews.
