Andy Cohen

Bravo exec and radio host Andy Cohen started his career behind the camera. After receiving a journalism degree from Boston University in 1990, Cohen kicked off the first decade of his career at CBS, producing The Early Show, 48 Hours and CBS This Morning.

He became the vice president of original programming at Bravo in 2004, five years before launching Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. The Bravo series made Cohen the first openly gay host of an American late-night talk show. Cohen produces the Real Housewives franchise on Bravo and hosts reunions for the network’s other reality hits. In 2017, he succeeded Kathy Griffin as cohost of CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live alongside his BFF Anderson Cooper.

Cohen welcomed son Ben in 2019 and daughter Lucy in 2022, both via surrogate.
