Andy Cohen can’t even go to dinner without being hounded by crazed Bravoholics.
On this morning’s episode of his Sirius XM radio show Andy Cohen Live, Cohen detailed an awkward fan interaction he had while recently dining at Via Carota, an Italian restaurant in New York City that he described as being “typically very buttoned-up” and “tight.”
“This woman walked by our table, puts her camera out, stands there, I look up [and] she takes a picture of me sitting there at the table,” Cohen recalled. “We make eye contact and it’s like, ‘What are you going to do with this picture? Is this interesting?’ I look surprised, I look blurry, I’m sure.”
Things only worsened when the women walked “straight into a busboy,” making him drop “two plates.”
“I, of course, screamed, ‘Well, at least you got your picture!’” Cohen said, before muttering, “Crazy.”
This wasn’t the only wild moment Cohen has experienced this week. The late-night talk show host said he was pre-taping an upcoming episode of Watch What Happens Live with Cindy Crawford and Colman Domingo when he was forced to stop the show and start over.
According to Cohen, he was wearing a “dirty” pair of contact lenses so he had a hard time reading the teleprompter.
“I’m looking at it and I’m kind of reading — but I’m looking at the camera as though it’s saying something to me and I don’t really understand what it’s saying,” he said. “That’s the only way I could explain to you the expression on my face.”
Cohen eventually stopped the show because he couldn’t see; however, his executive producer and everyone else in the control room thought he was “having a stroke.”
“They thought I was stroking out,” Cohen said. “They were not laughing. It sounded like chaos. They did not know what to do. They were like, ‘What has happened to him?’”
Despite the “scary” moment, Cohen said it turned out to be “a great show” in the end.
“Cindy Crawford pleads the fifth. Colman Domingo does a brilliant Clubhouse Playhouse,” he said. “I’m so excited for y’all to see this episode.”
Andy Cohen Live airs every weekday at 10/9c on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy station.
