For many people, Andy Cohen is the face of Bravo as he’s both an on-camera talent and one of the producers for the Real Housewives. Recently, he sat down for an in-depth interview in which he discussed Wendy Osefo‘s charges, who could replace him upon his retirement, and more.

As many fans are aware, Andy’s contract with Bravo was recently extended until 2027 following rumors that he may step down not only from hosting Watch What Happens Live but also from the network. Additionally, he celebrated 10 years with SiriusXM in October 2025 and also signed a new three-year extension the month prior. 

Andy was interviewed for Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast in October 2025. One of the questions she asked concerned the “thirisitest celebrity.” Andy responded, “I’m gonna say, and I mean this with total love, and I love her, Britani on Salt Lake City.”

He was then asked which couple from Real Housewives is headed for divorce. He began, “Well, I mean, I have no idea, but I’m still getting over Kyle and Mauricio. I’m still getting over Rachel and Rod.”

Alex continued this line of rapid-fire questions and asked who he believes would be a worthy replacement for him after he retires. Andy said, “I don’t really love talking about my retirement, thank you very much.”

He continued, “I’m like on fire if you haven’t noticed.” Andy then said, “There’s two people that I always kind of thought: Jerry O’Connell, who I love, and Jeff Lewis, who I think is great, but I’m not going anywhere.” 

Another interesting part of the interview occurred when Alex asked Andy about the still-unaired season of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Specifically, she inquired about the incident involving Caroline Manzo and Brandi Glanville. For context, Caroline has a lawsuit against the network in which she claims Brandi sexually assaulted her. Brandi and other cast members have denied that this is the case. 

Andy answered the question the best he could, saying, “If it were up to me, you’d be seeing the entire thing. I’d like nothing more than for everyone to see that. There are situations where it’s in the network’s hands and not mine.” 

Regarding the season, there are reports that the episodes are fully edited and could see the light of day once the legal situation has concluded. 

During the interview, Alex also asked Andy if he believed Wendy staged her home invasion. He responded with grace, saying, “I’m really, very strongly hoping that this doesn’t turn out to be anything.”
