When Andy Cohen speaks, people listen. Known for Watch What Happens Live and Bravo reunions, Cohen’s SiriusXM show allows him to delve deeper into pop culture and Bravo drama. His candid commentary often sparks headlines — and sometimes controversy. “I mess up occasionally,” Cohen admits but sees radio as a platform to explain his views and offer behind-the-scenes insights.
Broadcasting live on Radio Andy, Cohen, and cohost John Hill tackle all things pop culture daily. Cohen reflects on moments like calling Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent the “voice of reason,” which sparked months of debate. Whether dissecting Bravo controversies or broader celebrity news, Cohen acknowledges the challenge of balancing his roles as producer and host.
Cohen’s remarks often garner responses from Bravo stars or fans. He recalls explaining himself to Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice after a comment upset her. Recently, his take on the Vanderpump Rules cast shake-up stirred both celebrity and fan reactions, with Cohen standing by his belief that change was necessary.
Cohen’s dynamic with Hill, his ex-boyfriend, is a standout feature of the show. Hill’s sharp humor and willingness to roast Cohen adds a unique layer to their partnership. When Hill engages in his own Bravo-related spats, Cohen typically stays out, proud of the individuality each Radio Andy personality brings to the channel.
The SiriusXM channel has become a hub for diverse voices. From Jeff Lewis’ provocative commentary to Dorinda Medley’s insights as a former Housewife, Cohen champions their contributions. Outside Bravo, talents like Gayle King, Sandra Bernhard, and Tinx bring fresh perspectives, with Tinx’s relationship advice drawing a particularly engaged audience.
Music is another passion for Cohen, showcased on his Kiki Lounge channel. He curates a playlist of over 600 songs with personal significance. From Coldplay’s “Warning Song,” a breakup anthem, to Madonna’s hits his kids love, Cohen constantly updates his selections, sharing his evolving musical journey with listeners.
Cohen’s music preferences reflect his personality: quirky, nostalgic, and family-oriented. While he adores Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” during the holidays, he admits some songs, like Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” can wear out their welcome. His family shares his devotion to Madonna, though son Ben insists on the Cars soundtrack.
Through candid commentary, colorful collaborations, and a deep connection to music, Cohen’s SiriusXM empire continues to make waves. Whether sparking headlines or curating the perfect playlist, he remains an influential, if occasionally messy, voice in pop culture.
