Andy Cohen shared a behind-the-scenes look at his perspective as a reunion host during Bravo Fan Fest 2026.
How to Watch
Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen airs on Bravo Sunday through Thursday. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
Asked the “top three most annoying things that someone can do during a reunion,” the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host didn’t hesitate to respond.
“Pay attention to me,” he said. “Walking off, I just don’t love a walk off. And, well, the fans hate it when Bravolebrities don’t watch the shows. But I will say, half the battle is just getting them to show up to the reunion and face the music.”
But if they can at least do that, Andy’s happy. As he put it “I have respect for anyone who comes to the reunion stage and is there to answer the questions and be there.”
Does Andy Cohen have any regrets from past reunions?
In retrospect, Andy admitted that he doesn’t love his walk off during the The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6 reunion. “It was so bad. I mean, it was so lame. It was cute to see in the supertease, but it was not a win for me,” he told Bravo Insider at Fan Fest. “I was just so annoyed, and then I was like, ‘Oh, I’m out.'”
“It did shut them all up — I was just trying to get them to shut up and listen to me so we could move on — but then I realized when I walk out, we can’t finish the show. So it’s like, alright,” Andy continued, before sharing that he probably wouldn’t do it again if given the chance. “It was just lame.”

Andy’s new book, Andy’s Bravo Scrapbook: Twenty Years Behind the Scenes of the Real Housewives and the Bravoverse, takes readers inside Real Housewives reunions like never before. “For a Housewives fan, this book is everything,” Andy told Bravo Insider at Fan Fest. “I mean, I sent it to all the Housewives, and I’m hearing back from them saying, ‘Oh my God, this is like our yearbook,’ because it’s photos they’ve never seen that I’ve taken through 20 years of being behind the scenes at Bravo.” Â
“Every reunion I turn to the left, turn to the right, take a picture. It’s like seeing a moment from pop culture that you didn’t know existed,” he continued. “Basically, it’s very cool. I think it is the perfect gift for any Bravo fan.”
