Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast found a way to end October on a high note: interviewing Bravo's Daddy, Andy Cohen. The host and executive producer of myriad Bravo shows, including The Real Housewives franchise, gave a raw and entertaining interview with Cooper. In typical fashion, Cooper didn't hold back her curiosity and asked unique questions that the Bravo universe was eager to answer. As the host of various Bravo reunions and the face of Watch What Happens Live, it's rare to see Cohen in the interviewee's chair. Nevertheless, he answered Cooper's questions thoroughly and gave playful pushback when he deemed necessary. Over the course of the episode, Cohen gave intriguing answers to Bravo-based questions that every fan needs to hear before the next premiere. Andy Cohen Texted Lisa Vanderpump An Important RHOBH Question Alex Cooper did a series of games on Call Her Daddy, including "Confess or Text." Cohen would have to confess to whatever question Cooper asked or text a friend a question of Cooper's choice. Cooper asked Cohen point-blank how much money he made last year, which sparked a shocked reply from the Bravo star. The father of two declined to answer, calling the question "Douchey." Instead, Cooper told him he had to text Lisa Vanderpump a hilarious question. “Shaking up [The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills] cast, who should we part ways with?” As they waited for her response, Cohen assumed Vanderpump would say Kyle Richards, given their public battles. On the contrary, Vanderpump replied, “All of them.” The significance of the game gave an interesting look at Cohen's relationships with those he works with, including how comfortable he is with certain Bravolebrities. Vanderpump left RHOBH after season 9 and never returned. She instead focused on her own TV projects, including the final season of Bravo's Vanderpump Rules. Has Andy Ever Slept With Anyone From The Bravo Universe? Andy Cohen is a proud gay man who has kept many of his relationships or situationships private. There have been countless rumors about Cohen and different male celebrities or Bravolebrities, but Cohen nipped those rumors in the bud on the Call Her Daddy podcast. After Cooper asked Cohen if he had ever slept with someone in the Bravo universe, Cohen quickly replied, "No." He explained that the choice not to sleep with a colleague was intentional and that he "understood" the theoretical rules as a person in power: "There have been a couple that I would — that, in my mind, I've thought like, 'Well, that would be interesting, But yeah, I think that would probably — especially at this point — be unwise." Cooper's humor shone through as she advised him to continue on this path and not to "f**k up" his position at Bravo. It was important for Cohen to clarify his stance on sleeping with those he worked with after a popular lawsuit by former Housewife Leah McSweeney against Cohen was brought to light for furthering a toxic work environment. As of this article's publishing, Cohen is happily single and raising two children, Ben and Lucy, alone. The host explained that dating as a single father has made it tricky to meet new people, but he's on most dating apps and is looking for a partner. Andy Cohen Gave Himself The Perfect Real Housewives Tagline Part of what makes The Real Housewives an entertaining series is the taglines. Every Housewife says a tagline during the show’s opening theme that shares a small insight into their storyline for the season. For the most part, taglines change every season, depending on the Housewife's storyline. For years, people have wondered what Andy Cohen’s tagline would be, and he shared it on Call Her Daddy. “I’m a father of two, but a daddy to many.” Cohen has been called “Daddy” to those in the fandom for years because of his ability to nurture and dethrone his guests. When asked about his daddy status, he explained why so many people consider him Bravo's daddy: “I take care of people. I’m very decisive. I’m a little bossy. I’m a top. I’m pretty opinionated. I like to be in control.” It’s been said that when it comes to choosing taglines for Housewives, producers think of a handful of options, have the Housewife record it, and then choose a polished one in the end. Sometimes, the Housewives love their season taglines; other times, they have been open about not understanding them. Cohen Has A Favorite Housewives Anthem Most Housewives create businesses or sprawl into different forms of entertainment outside the franchise. They use their newfound fame and money to invest in something else in case their time on Housewives comes to an end. Many Housewives have shared their passion for singing and have gone on to produce various singles. The songs are often celebrated by the fandom regardless of how good or bad they are. Andy Cohen has heard his fair share of Bravo songs. Luann de Lesseps (RHONY), Candiace Dillard Bassett (RHOP), Melissa Gorga (RHONJ), Kim Zolciak (RHOA), and Porsha Williams (RHOA) are just a few Housewives who got into music outside the franchise. When Alex Cooper asked Cohen which Housewife's anthem he liked the most, he said Candiace Dillard's "Drive Back" without hesitation. He also praised Vanderpump Rules' Scheana Shay for her single, "Good As Gold." Andy Cohen Chose A Favorite RHONY Moment There have been plenty of iconic moments in The Real Housewives franchise since its beginning in 2006. With nine active cities in the franchise, it's hard to choose a moment or season that succeeds the rest. However, Andy Cohen did his best. The host explained that Luann de Lesseps saying, "We got the yacht!" in season 8 of The Real Housewives of New York City was one of the most iconic moments for him. Once Luann and Tom D'Agostino got engaged, she invited the cast on his yacht to celebrate. This was was rise and fall of Luann's relationship with the women after choosing Tom over everyone else. For Andy, Luann screaming "We got the yacht!" was a hilariously iconic moment. Who's Andy Cohen's Take On The Thirstiest Housewife There have been plenty of thirsty moments on Bravo. Bravolebrities will sometimes do or say outrageous things for a storyline or extra time on camera. When Alex Cooper asked Andy Cohen who the thirstiest celebrity was, he took a moment to think about it before admitting it was a cast member on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: "I say this with total love, and I love her. Umm... Britani on Salt Lake City." Britani Bateman is a newer Housewife to the franchise after joining RHOSLC in season 5. She had a moment in her first season that was deemed thirsty and problematic after Angie Katsanevas discovered her privately recording an argument between cast members. Britani changed her reasoning multiple times for recording the women, but the act made her a walking red flag in the group. The women were especially vulnerable to newcomers after finding out in season 4 that former Housewife Monica Garcia was leaking stories on social media under the guise of a blogger. RHONJ Is A Top Offender On Bravo When it comes to unruly Housewives and reunions that get out of control, there's one franchise that is the "worst offender": The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Alex Cooper asked Andy Cohen which Bravolebrity is the hardest to "wrangle" during reunions. While he mentioned Lisa Barlow from RHOSLC, he also name-dropped Teresa Giudice from RHONJ. Speaking of RHONJ, he admitted that the cast is the most unruly, calling them “the worst offenders." Reunions often get out of hand and have tested his patience: “I don’t like screaming at women. It is a bad look." Sometimes the women get so out of control at reunions that the only thing Cohen can do to get them in order is to raise his voice, although he dislikes doing so. Giudice is an original Housewife who has been a part of the series since the start, and she has one of the unique backgrounds on the network after going to prison for 11 months and returning to the throne. Speaking of Giudice, Cohen admitted their relationship had its rough points, especially around the time of her trial. However, the two "talked it out" and are now in a better place. It's rare for a network to have a single public figure be the face of its network, but Andy Cohen has defied the odds and has made his entire career around Bravo. After being on Call Her Daddy, he is officially Bravo's Daddy.
