Andy Cohen Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Andrew Joseph Cohen is an American television host and executive producer who created and hosts Watch What Happens Live and runs Bravo’s Real Housewives reunions. He is the first openly gay man to host a U.S. late-night talk show and is a five-time New York Times bestselling author. He tours with AC2 alongside Anderson Cooper and curates Radio Andy on SiriusXM.

Andrew Joseph Cohen is a television host, executive producer, author and live-event performer whose career has shaped 21st-century American reality television. As the creator, host and executive producer of Watch What Happens Live, and as executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise, Cohen built a multi-platform brand that blends unscripted storytelling, live interaction and celebrity culture. He also oversees programming on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy and runs the Andy Cohen Books imprint at Henry Holt & Co. Cohen began his career as an intern at CBS News and spent a decade in news production before joining Bravo, where he rose to Senior/Executive Vice President of Development and Talent. His credits as executive producer include Top Chef and Project Runway; he shared a Primetime Emmy for Top Chef and Peabody recognition for documentary and series work. He is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers and has been honored with the GLAAD Vito Russo Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On stage, Cohen is known for conversational, unscripted events—most visibly his AC2 tour with Anderson Cooper—and for moderating high-energy reunions, panels and fan events such as BravoCon. He speaks on the craft and business of reality TV, celebrity and fandom, LGBTQ representation in media, and the practical lessons of building a career from intern to on-air brand. His style combines fast-paced interviewing, informed production insight, and an ability to manage candid, sometimes combustible, conversations. Cohen is a single father to two children, Benjamin and Lucy, born via surrogacy; he has publicly discussed his choices to protect their privacy and to shield them from social-media exposure while balancing a public career.
