Colbert

Andy Cohen and Stephen Colbert act out a scene from 'The Real Housewives of New York City.'

July 30, 2010

I am sitting at JFK airport next to a WAILING child who is having a fit with all the energy and rage of Teresa Guidice. She wants to GO to the gate! And she's MAD that the waiter is taking so long! And her parents do not CARE because they live with this 24/7, and so this is just white noise to them. But I care. And I just turned to her and said "GO!"

And she just shut the hell up!

They are playing The Carpenters and that little hellcat should take a breath and listen to my girl Karen and be lulled into submission. Now the dad is hugging her. She is a VICTIM. Is it bad to hate a child?

Anyway, I'm going to L.A. for the day to lavish in the TCA, which is a bi-annual gathering of TV critics. There's stuff in the afternoon, and then a party tonight. Then I am on the Ambien express 11:30 p.m. redeye back to the beach. Oy.

Boy did I have a blast last night on The Colbert Report!!! Stephen Colbert, as you know, is playing a character named Stephen Colbert who is a bombastic combination of blissfully righteous and fairly uninformed. So being interviewed by his character, in front of a cheering audience no less, is a challenge. The highlight for me was our verbatim re-enactment of Kelly and Bethenny's fight at the Brass Monkey in Season 2 of NY Housewives. There's a clip of it floating around the web. Check it out and let me know w you think.

After the taping I went to Antarctica, the Tribeca bar not the continent, for our Watch What Happens Live wrap party. Have I mentioned that we have the best production team on that wee lil show! Everybody's HAPPY! That makes a diff.

OK, I'm on the plane now and the flight attendent who wanted to know about Kandi three minutes ago has had an attitude adjustment and is now "serious lady who strongly suggests that I turn this Bberry off before she does it for me." I don't love that character. Have a great weekend!

Bravo Channel Rocks! I made my bf watch all of this season's Housewives of NJ episodes with me, along with Bethenney Gets Married? When you appeared on the Colber(t) Repor(t), he turned to me and we just laughed ourselves silly!! You guys were absolutely hilarious and it showed just how ridiculous some of the shows are...especially Kelly (like, like, like....)

I hope you do more (although not exactly the same) of this in the future!! Good luck and thanks for all your hard work on the programming. Nice job, Andy!

Andy, I want to marry you. I'm 50, nice looking, smart, originally from New Jersey, but living in SF. Housewife I am most like - Bethenny (with a little Carolyn mixed in). Would you like to go out for drinks sometime?

Andy, I LOVED this video. Actually You and Colbert did an amazing job. It was better than the actual footage. [smile]
As far as the child in the airport...I totally agree with you. I have 4 grandchildren 2 great grandchildren. But, I believe children need to be polite and corrected when they are abnoxious.
Hugs, Nana

me and my family were watching the new episode of the NJ Housewives and my brother walks in the room while Danille and Kim "G" were fighting and asked, "is that danille's mom?" lmao.

Andy, you were great on the Colbert Report. I am very impressed that you went toe-to-toe with such a funny guy!!

Have you ever thought of doing a guest appearance on any of the housewives shows? That would be just too cool!! Think about it Andy, your fans just can't get enough of you!!

How's it?

Congrats on Colbert show! Too cool.

I have a question for you:

On the Bravo TV cast members commercial why don't you have Courtney and Robert from "9 by Design" in that mix?

I really enjoy that show. It's extremely refreshing instead of listening to Housewive's noise.

Thanks. Aloha!

My cousin Jeff is 49 years blondish resish hair, old 5'6 he is not a professional boxer, he would like to do a celebrity boxing match with Danielle's body gaurd "Danny" for the New Jersey Housewives show. To defend the manzo family and Ashley and Jacklyn...lol.the money could go to a charity or Bravo or what ever.

Andy,

I am a huge Bravo fan and have gotten into the website for the first time this year. I had a fantasy team with Top Chef and my husband and daughter added their teams. we were sharing one computer. The problems began. Everytime any of us tried to send a message we got Validation error. In the contact us place on the site, it would say the same thing. We don't even know what it means. We are trying to take off all of our registrations and start again with only one - there was not a problem with only one. Please please help and tell us how to do that. Thank you

That re-enactment was so hilarious, I watched it twice!! I think he really wanted you to pick Bethenny, so he could be Kelly! I also liked the fiber comment.

Thank you for making my day. ROFLMAO over you and Stephen reading those lines. More please!

Andy.. I'm addicted.. Your hilarious..keep up the good work!

Andy you rocked that bit with Colbert! You are the MAN! And it looks like you've stepped back from your tanorexia---definitely liking the medium shade! Just remember, one day at a time...

1) Please make sure you renew Bethenny Getting Married. It's the realest reality show ever. How do I know? They skinny-dipped on their honeymoon and Bethenny's breast-feeding while Max shops for panties. You can't make that stuff up. Plus, Jason cried in the car on the way home from the hospital.

2) Stepping in and talking to annoying children is never wrong. I never understand parents who just blithely let their kids piss and moan. Yes, they're immune but a little shame and public humiliation is need for ALL.

Loved it!!! Almost as good as the original showdown. I'm a big fan of Bravo and Stephen's, so it was great to see you guys re-enact that scene. Was it Stephen's idea to read the transcript? Well done! BRAVO!!!

Enough with the misogyny. Do a show about men. Same theme, just make it men, please. Sick of seeing women abuse each other. Wanna see men!

Another program idea: "Flip Teresa's House" w/Jeff Lewis.
Watch Teresa flip tables inside as Jeff flips the outside.

Woo-hoo! Love ya, Andy!

I love you both! It was great fun! Mazel!

Andy,
You're my favorite housewife! I'll miss you, but I'll see you in September....

I don't know where I can write to you, which is why I'm leaving a comment here:
My opinion on who I want to see back for RHoNY next season is EVERYONE EXCEPT Alex.
Thank you!

Hi Andy! My kids and I made you a video clip of the "Real Housewife of Grand Rapids". Where do I send it? It's goofy I know but we had fun making it on the Flip.

I have to say, you and stephen colbert acting out the Bethenny/Kelly scene just totally made my day. Please do things like that more often! :D

Andy,
Loved you on Colbert. The RHONY roleplay-hysterical. Have a great August.

Love the sktech! You should have your guests reenact scenes from the Housweives on the aftershow. How hillarious would it be to see Betheny and Kelly reciting lines from a Danielle drama? That would make for some funny promos for Brazo.

great job on Colbert! uppercrusty is my new favorite word!
