[@minisugar901]

He is so comfortable in his skin ❤️❤️❤️

[@bapper78ross28]

Andy is very passionate when he talks....cool guy

[@freakyjayonline]

Bapper78 Ross cocaine is one hell of a drug

[@mayjohnson2296]

That coke though

[@broadwayblack5782]

People slander this guy because he make reality TV but people want to be on the damn show

[@TACOGOODLOOKING]

and watch it everday

[@buchtapear]

I know this comment is completely off topic, but here's an easy way to make extra cash from home: *GivenDaily. com* I'm making over $1500 per week. Just check it out if you're interested.

[@jahgirlflo643]

I love the way he tells stories, I can listen to Andy for hours. LOVE him

[@Ijusbpostin]

I love Andy Cohen! (Notice how no matter how far left they take the conversation, he works his talking points in)

[@iCoCoMe]

I.AM.NIC because he's a professional lol he knows how to ride with them.

[@izziesmilez8892]

iCoCoMe

[@dwgm1022]

He's really good at what he does.. and because he himself is a interviewer, he knows how to conduct himself in an interview.

[@shunnaize]

Is it just me or was Charlemagne flirting with Andy Cohen; at one point Andy even took a long pause to scan him up and down with his gaydar.

[@glamnp5456]

shunnaize 😂😂😂

[@tgoldson7152]

shunnaize yesssss he did ctfu he was enjoying Andy😭😂

[@fendiwilliams3564]

shunnaize I wish all women had your intelligence...bloop

[@TiaThomp]

shunnaize 😫😭😭😭😭😭

[@j.blu2]

real housewives is better than lhh cause its not scripted

[@mspayne32]

I think all that bullshit is scripted. LOL

[@FlabbyDouglas]

Miss Payne no one scripts mama joyce! She's an OG.

[@mspayne32]

+Flabby Douglas you might be right lol

[@j.blu2]

Miss Payne nah you can def tell that lhh is scripted and everyone knows they set up every situation but real housewives atleast seems more natural

[@Dimeonwheels]

Every reality show is scripted at some point. There's producers directing the talent on the side on how to act and what to say

[@llove1012]

Mona gets more flack because all she does is put black people on blast. Andy is a little more well rounded with the blasting.

[@trynevernegativeever9649]

comments about him exploiting black women is so ridiculous. first or second season of jersey housewives, a group of italian women, teresa guidice tossed a table. she also went to prison for bankruptcy fraud and her husband as well. while you're sitting here complaining about it you're probably the same people that sit on youtube and facebook watching people fight.

[@norbzprah9953]

trynevernegative ever

[@norbzprah9953]

trynevernegative ever

[@elitelokkz]

trynevernegative ever don't forget the other Danielle went to jail and was a fraud and escort or sum shit in season 1 and 2 of RHONJ. These ppl only know RHOA so really they don't have an argument. Also RHOP and M2M both show black women of class who argue just like any other. We see what we want to see.

[@jaymoreno4016]

Exactly! Race isn’t even a problem when it comes to the ladies arguing. there are women of plenty different races that have been on the housewives shows going at it with one another. Plus that’s the whole point of reality TV, the drama is literally the reason why we watch so idk why people say things like “oh you’re putting black women against black women and making them look bad” when it comes to Atlanta & Potomac as if the drama on Housewives of OC, Beverly Hills, NY, NJ, & Dallas isn’t filled with the same levels of drama just like almost any reality show that revolves around a group of women.

[@MrStevensacc]

trynevernegative ever the fact that the women are willing participants doesn't take from the fact that his entire career is based on encouraging women to do tear each other down.

[@speakriri7283]

Yes, Andy Cohen produces a show where predominately black aren't shown in the best light. However, you can't blame him for the actions of grown ass women. The women on Real Housewives of Atlanta have a choice to appear on this show and control the way they act. I wish people would stop taking the blame from these woman and putting it on someone else.

[@akaPranks]

Someone who actually has common sense, thanks for this comment.

[@echad6259]

SpeakRiRi I understand. there are white people who capitalize on everything related to, has to do with black people, from chitterlings to reality tv to Hip-hop to hair care and then we get shitted on.

[@daviddye6558]

SpeakRiRi and to be fair, none of the white people look that great either. lol

[@mariyaa111]

SpeakRiRi wtf are you talking about ?? what "predominantly black shows," are on bravo??? the ONLY all black cast is Atlanta! And almost every show on Bravo is all white!

[@speakriri7283]

mariyaa111​ maybe you were to quick to respond because if you clearly read MY comment I didn't specify any television network. It was a general comment for all reality television shows who have a predominantly black cast....read much?

[@mirandapow2230]

andy's lingering stare at charlamagne after he told the cocktail joke. @30:21 lmao

[@godisamazing7074]

I notice that he was wondering if Charlamagne was gay

[@reggiebloo]

miranda pow what did charlamagne say? i didn't hear the ending of the joke

[@mackenzierose1292]

miranda pow i think charlagmage is bi

[@reggiebloo]

miranda pow ohh lmao. Thanks

[@kris517]

What person did he say gave him that quote? I listened 3 times and Charlemagne's mouth was too far from the Mic.

[@talkindurinthemovie]

Charlemagne flirting

[@shawnjackson7702]

talkindurinthemovie 😂😂😂 Hell yeah. they had a great connection too

[@supersupreme9715]

Yea...the whole "superhead" shit was awkward AF

[@NicoleOlivia]

talkindurinthemovie crying 😂😂

[@TheNuminousBlog]

shawn Jackson yeah and him saying pour me a cocktail or give me one, Andy just sipped his tea, play it back 😭😭

[@________1166]

He knows how to keep his bread buttered.

[@zeemadison5611]

this was a great interview with Andy, he seems very relatable and has positive energy!! Good job Breakfast Club👍👍

[@nanapearlpearl2696]

zee madison he didn't even allow to hardly talk lol!!!!!

[@paulvoorhies8821]

His energy is just amazing--electric.

[@daveg9000]

His energy-level is unreal...he never stops talking...but, he's entertaining...

[@KempireRadio]

I like how honest Andy is. Good interview.

[@shannonsuxx]

KempireRadio I feel like it’s a bit ‘tv personality’ fake, but enthusiastic... lol i can’t tell.

[@MizzzRebel]

If anyone has revealed "ratchetness" in white women it has been Andy Cohen. Thanks Andy

[@angelicjames]

I love Andy Cohen. He throws the best shade no matter who you are 😎

[@saucyfaces]

Love Andy. Great interview.

[@tayottt]

Really great interview. They asked strong questions and Andy gave good answers. Andy has always seemed to be a great guy. Very lovable.

[@Faaade_]

I love Andy lol He gave a great interview!! I know people dont like that he is behind a few reality shows that showcase black women acting out...but to be honest anyone that watches Bravo regularly...KNOWS there are wayyyyy more shows on that channel that dont have people of color..and they are all JUST as ratch lol So we arent the target. just to add a bit of perspective...now if he was on vh1? lol then we can talk about that haha.

[@TheAngiehubbard]

EclecticFlavor. But 3 black shows out of ten isn't that bad.

[@ionfollowhoes5860]

they got queen sugar thats as black as a show can be

[@Faaade_]

Dimitri Marick Hi Dimitri! as a person that does watch bravo when I have time to watch tv...its a channel that runs all day. There are about 4 dozen shows or more..so the few most popular with a black cast arent the only thing bringing them money and ratings.

[@aguffie1]

My fave ratchet show is Vanderpump Rules

[@Faaade_]

Angela G I know soooo many that watch that..ive caught a few moments of it...is it really that good? also I live for how fabulous Ms vanderpump is at her age! lol

[@sassy40129]

Andy is mad cool 😄

[@sassy40129]

he's so full of life

[@cloroxsoda1607]

ikr all my gay friends who do coke act like him

[@Arvesikdt]

why do women love gays so much?

[@sassy40129]

Zulu Warrior its not about the fact that he's gay, he's just super real and funny

[@BeautifulBrainTrained]

why do zulu warriors worry so much about gays?

[@__CJLORRAINE__]

"I was in the island of Boston, Massachusetts..." 😁😅 I love Andy. "It may have been more of a train for me in Boston, that night." 😀

[@luigy658]

charlamagne and Andy were locking eyes the whole time like damn lol

[@fendiwilliams3564]

Luigy Grullon love connection

[@talkindurinthemovie]

I love andy

[@ladieesc0]

literally said that in my mind verbatim and scrolled and read it from you. lol "i love andy"

[@MrKingston2397]

Andy is a true interviewer, he new how to curve a lot of statements,

[@deparisshaw4510]

DaJour Brooks that's years of experience :)

[@HumanNature1117]

Andy is not wearing as much makeup as he usually does, and he looks exhausted. But I like him a lot, and he works really hard.

[@TheRenegadeStarr]

HumanNature1117 why wear makeup at like 7am for a RADIO interview???? The makeup is for the HD cameras on the reunions

[@Hollablackgirl93]

HumanNature1117 true. but for being a 48 year old white male he looks ok. They usually age much worse.

[@shawnkennedy4921]

Angela Yee is always going in on Envy!!!! "Envy wears waist trainers!!!!" LMAO

[@danadane561]

[@viewtube6e]

if Charlamagne and Angela Yee dont STOP TALKING AT THE SAME TIME!! what is wrong with these two.???!! They keep pouncing on Andy with questions...RELAX!!

[@deparisshaw4510]

viewtube6e CTG is totally crushing on Andy Cohen

[@viewtube6e]

he prolly is...he s the awful lol

[@TheNoviceUrbanGardener]

He said it perfectly. I am walking around in haze and it still has not set in yet. I've seen a lot of other people just walking like zombies.

[@iamsiimply_tye]

Love Andy! He's so positive & up beat:)

[@ltetobago]

Andy and Charlamagne....IJS, Andy was a lil captivated and not sure if thagd was firting or being himself but he's def curious..I ♡ Andy

[@kiaboyd8036]

ltetobago FACTS!!!!

[@jibsmokestack1]

Kia Boyd nh

[@LisaInTheJungle]

Take a shot every time Andy cuts Angela off 😖😂 #PoorAnge

[@glamnp5456]

I heart Andy!!!

[@MissNisyah]

Charlamagne asking Andy why he doesn't get slack but Mona does.. Charlamagne the main one calling her a devil and clowning love & hip hop every chance he gets 😒

[@rym6757]

I swear all white people react the same way when they learn about cool things in the black community

[@aliviatabb1386]

ry Smith ".....And they call her Superhead because she gives amazing oral sex." Andy: "REALLY? Where is she!? Do you have her number? My GOD, is she seeing anybody?" 😂😂😂

[@akimsmyer5254]

They always figure out how to exploit it while making loads of cash for doing it...

[@blkheromusic]

when white people turn on their security system, turn on a light (because the inventor of a key part of the bulb is black), shift gears, listen to most types of music...wonder if they think to themselves "man, black people did amazing stuff"

[@JustinJayC]

@Rosco P. Coltrane White or Black, ALL RACES do amazing things.

[@christianshimer1872]

Rosco P. Coltrane if they look white they white LMAOOOOO

[@IrishEvey]

Would love to have a few beers with him. What a great guy. He's so honest and fun. Just seems a good dude.

[@r0c87]

"I guess we can run a train but our cars wont connect" LMAO @ explaining gay things to straight people

[@TheOriginalMeanGirl]

Great interview. I love his positivity and the fact that he is hisself. ❤️❤️

[@xiomara4362]

I think Andy has a respectful relationship with the housewives because, for the most part, a lot of the women are extremely wealthy and or come from respected backgrounds ie. Lisa V, Heather D, Kandi, Kim Fields (last year), and many others and I also think he doesn't receive as much flack as other producers because a lot of the RH franchise feels real. It doesn't feel over dramatic or made up. It feels like you're watching real people with real problems. Anyway, I love Andy and I can't wait to read his book!

[@TaRonThomasTv]

I absolutely love you Andy for being honest, walking in your truth and explaining that genetically we we're born this way. No matter the ridicule or lecture. God bless you bae

[@girl8295]

Give Andy some water guys

[@tobygolding1893]

why? he's drooling enough to suck it up !! he's gross

[@TTG__TV]

Andy lowkey invented Ratchet Tv..!!

[@TheAngiehubbard]

Texas Boi nope! Vh1 was the first with the flava flav /New York shows.

[@supersupreme9715]

Not at all....VH1 and MTV had that shit on lock wayyyyyy before the Housewives came on the scene.....

[@supersupreme9715]

True and Real World was low key ratchet even before that...they was the first to turn up with the fighting on air....even as far as back to 1995 when Tami Roman was on Real World Los Angeles and had that fight with Dave.....MTV is the pioneer of the shit! After that almost every season of Real World had fights, arguments, emergency 911 calls....lmaoooo

[@TTG__TV]

Jerry Springer the OG of Ratchet tv... but Andy was the one that gave Bobby Brown & Whitney a reality show back in the day.

[@supersupreme9715]

NOPE!! Morton Downey Jr. show was before that Jerry Springer is a direct poorly ripped off version of Morton Downey...that was a ratchet talk show in the 80's early 90s wayyyy before Jerry was on the scene... that started the crazy talk show craze....so Springer really isnt the OG....and before Jerry was poppin Geraldo was known for the fights and craziness also......Jerry just took their formula and turned it up on some fake shit! But there was also Richard Bey and Jenny Jones on the same wave at the same time.....

[@melissamshields]

I love Any Cohen!!

[@jenn8721]

Wow I have a newfound respect for Andy (I loved before but this interview multiplied it ten fold). His work ethic is amazing and his positivity is inspiring. When he said that he asked to be paid a dollar for his first on camera gig because he felt he was not worth anything yet, that was really refreshing. Definitely gonna go buy his book and support him!

[@vonmorris5948]

I'm a fan and I wouldn't have turned Andy down. He got MONEY!!! Lol. And Andy is hot and down with the swirl.
