Biography

Andy Cohen is an Emmy Award-winning host, producer, and author best known as the host and executive producer of Emmy-Nominated Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Bravo’s late night, interactive talk show.  The series is the only live show in late night television and consistently makes headlines with bold interviews viewers don’t see anywhere else. Because of this, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen has become a nightly destination for some of the biggest names in pop culture including Meryl Streep, Cher, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lawrence, Ryan Reynolds, Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga. He also serves as executive producer of The Real Housewives franchise and hosts the network’s highly rated reunion specials.

In Fall of 2015, Cohen launched “Radio Andy,” a personally curated channel on SiriusXM focused on pop culture, celebrities, lifestyle, relationships and the dish on all topics deep and shallow. The channel is a fun, uncensored entertainment and talk destination with celebrity hosts including Cohen, who has daily and weekly shows on air.

In 2016, Cohen also launched his own book imprint Andy Cohen Books and in November became a New York Times best-selling author for a fourth time with the release of his latest book, Superficial: More Adventures from the Andy Cohen Diaries and achieved similar success with The Andy Cohen Diaries: A Deep Look At a Shallow Year as well as with the hardcover (May 2012) and the paperback (May 2013) versions of his first book, titled, Most Talkative: Stories from the Frontlines of Pop Culture.

When he isn’t in the host seat, Cohen tours the country with Anderson Cooper for “AC2: An Intimate Evening with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen” where the dynamic duo discuss all topics deep and shallow in front of sold out audiences across the country.

In 2019, it was announced that Cohen will receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Cohen ran Original Programming and Development for the pop culture and arts cable channel TRIO, beginning in July 2000. He was responsible for developing and supervising all of TRIO's original productions including the critically acclaimed original documentaries Gay Republicans, Easy Riders/Raging Bulls, and Brilliant, But Cancelled.  He spent ten years (1990-2000) as a producer at CBS News, working on CBS This Morning and 48 Hours.
