Coming Home: Andy Cohen meets Big Poppa! ... and other ATL stories.

All I can say about yesterday is: the ATL girls are full of surprises, and I met Big Poppa. Oh, and Kim performed Tardy for the Party. The rest you will have to see on the reunion show.

Tonight is the Flipping Out finale and I've been screening cuts of that super emo-coaster of a reunion, which is making me feel emo about that whole Los Feliz gang. Jenni does a rap on tonight's show (in a lizard costume — long story) that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get out of your head. Between that and "Tardy for the Party" my mind is looping seriously weird hooks. Oh and my cure for extricating either song is to think of "Paparazzi" and then I can't get THAT outta my brain. It's a vicious circle of crazy going on in my head.

I had dinner with an old friend at Ecco in Midtown Atlanta last night. I loved it there. Coincidentally, there's a front page story in the New York Times about companies that recycle and generate barely any garbage and Ecco is mentioned.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has a front page piece about a new pirate museum that's planned for ATL. I will NEVER go there. I'm just saying. Well, maybe if I have kids and bring them to the ATL Season 12 reunion I will send the kids there with the sitter. Am I getting ahead of myself???

I'm at the ATL airport right now waiting to leave. I went through security with a very made-up woman, and I am thinking that she is modeling herself on Miss Delta Burke. And it kinda works for her! But for some reason, me and the poor-man's Delta did not hit it off. We did not see eye to eye about our placement of luggage on the belt and the speed at which we cared to work our way through the system. I forgot that Designing Women was set in Atlanta. Were they the original Real Housewives? Was Meshach Taylor the "DaWight" of that show? Does anybody know what I'm talking about???

And the airport is littered with people with colds. Sneezing everywhere. And military guys going places. I just wanna take pics of them and find out where they're going. They have so many stories.

: 10/29/2009 - 10:51pm; austin08; Andy what's up with the seriously heavy bashing on Kim. Please do some equal time her.Play fair.

: 10/25/2009 - 10:16am; Brian; You are hilarious. Love your Designing Women comparison. Great show that is sadly forgotten these days. When I quote it, my friends say I need to update my pop culture references :( Is there anyone wiser than Julia, cute as Charlene, relatable as Mary Jo and hysterical as Suzanne?

: 10/23/2009 - 1:27pm; Clt; You have a great pop culture memory. Thanks for bringing back my memories of the episode where Anthony and Suzanne bond, at the end she says "If this wig could talk" and they both laugh. The shows in reruns somewhere hopefully everyone can catch that episode. Suzanne was adorable.

: 10/23/2009 - 1:13pm; Freda; Hey Andy, I love you and your show. You are so entertaining, so so funny! You really don't need any guests, just you! I used to love Designing Women(I'm from outside of Atl)and think you're right about them being the orignal h/w. Also I love love DaWight and hope we see lots more of him!!!! TTYL...

Almost all military personnel flying into or out of ATL are going on or returning home from deployment.

Those flying out are not only going on deployment, but will start their deployment by missing the holidays.

: 10/23/2009 - 7:42am; Viewer214; Andy: I was REAL disappointed that last night's show was hyped and then when I went to watch...repeat! Who got the swine fly? You or Sheree? WHAT HAPPENED?

: 10/22/2009 - 11:39pm; Darla in Moline; what happened to the live show with Sheree? Why the rerun from last week?

: 10/22/2009 - 11:17pm; ebogie; Love reading your blog, Andy! What happened to your show tonight? I stayed up just to watch, saw the promo w/Sheree, and now there's Matthew Broderick with you again. Did Sheree have some kind of a melt-down?

: 10/22/2009 - 10:33am; Lyn from down south; Hi Andy,I love all the RHO shows but RHOA gives southern "ladies" a new meaning! I think you are great!!!! Keep those "ladies" in line!!!

Andy why can't you have the show everynight? I'd rather see your show than Leno, et al. You look better than all those guys anyhow! Andy you are HOT!!!

BTW: Dwight is waaaay better than 'Anthony'/aka Meshach Taylor from Designing Women! Dwight is a trip running in those high heels and directing the fashion show. I'm glad he had more air time this season.

: 10/22/2009 - 12:08am; Gina G.; In the words of Theresa from RHONJ..."You are so gay" and so is BRAVO!!!

: 10/20/2009 - 10:02pm; alane jones; U r really great andy i think u should be on everynight!

: 10/20/2009 - 8:43pm; G.; Has Bravo ever considered a real husbands of (fill in the blank) of same sex couples? I think if would be an interesting twist. Speaking as a gay male in a monogomous relationship.

: 10/20/2009 - 8:27pm; Kitty G; Bethenny Pregnant! If it's okay with Gloria it's okay with me.
Can't wait to see the baby shower Jill throws for her. I just hope the favors aren't from Ramona's skincare or jewelry lines and that we're spared the parenting advice from Silex. I need to email the Countess about this.

: 10/20/2009 - 4:36pm; Andy Lover; Here's what - Meshach Taylor was totally the Dwight!! Minus the eyelash extensions....too funny!!

: 10/20/2009 - 4:08pm; Kathleen092; LOL you are just the funniest guy, I love your blogs, they really do make me laugh out loud...you tend to ramble on about whatever pops into your head at that exact moment but that's okay but I LOVE reading what you're thinking - pure entertainment. Keep your pretty smile and keep blogging your random thoughts and I'll remain a loyal fan!

OMG!!!! I just read Bethenny Frankel is pregnant! Yikes!
Is the NYC show being filmed now?

More importantly...How is Kandy?

You are one fabulous, interesting guy!
Your blogging is such a great extension of your personality.
I think we need you on nightly.

: 10/20/2009 - 12:31pm; KR; I didn't watch Designing Women but even I know what you're talking about. I think the "real" Dwight is FAR scarier than any circa 1980's sitcom accessory! Seeing him race around in heels and a plethor-unitard with a strategically placed mid-section hole is a sight that's burned into my retinas forever.
Can't wait for season finale of Flipping Out. I'm still sad over Jeff and Ryan's "break-up."

: 10/20/2009 - 12:28pm; may; send them with the sitter? you might want to start parenting with a puppy, or a goldfish? with kids, your Ecco dinners will be replaced w/ chuckie cheese, which I'm sure dumps a load of trash!

Yes Andy I know what you are talking about and he was most def. the Dwight of Designing Women.

I can hardly wait for the RHOA reunion. My daughter and I were saying that we hope Nene is not fighting with Kandi. We believe Nene is a little envious of Kandi, but hopefully she has tamed down her funky attitude.

Are you going to dish on Big Poppa?
