Andy Cohen’s fondest memories from the show Watch What Happens Live are filled with reckless revelations that have stayed with him over the years. The Bravo host reflected on the times he took risks and celebrated the moments that made his show unforgettable. One of his treasured memories was when he asked Oprah Winfrey about “the lady pond” during an episode in 2013. Despite Winfrey’s swift response that she had never taken a dip, Cohen recalled the moment as reckless but exhilarating.
Cohen acknowledged that having Winfrey on the show was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he was grateful for her willingness to appear on the program. Although the question may have been confusing, Gayle King later revealed that Winfrey had no idea what “the lady pond” meant, Cohen praises Winfrey as one of his favorite guests. In fact, he referred to the episode with her as his favorite to this day. Cohen noted that the two stars had a “super cool” relationship after the show, and he was grateful for her willingness to appear on the program.

Another guest who holds a special place in Cohen’s heart is Patti LuPone, the American actress and singer. LuPone has made multiple appearances on the show, each leaving a lasting impression on Cohen. One memorable moment that stands out was when she called Madonna a “movie killer” back in 2017. The comment, which sparked a lot of controversy, even earned Cohen a reprimand from Madonna herself. Initially, Madonna asked LuPone to stop talking about her on the show, but Cohen stood his ground, explaining that it was LuPone’s opinion, not his own.
Cohen sent Madonna a highlight reel of the positive comments other guests had made about her on the show, and she appreciated the gesture. However, Madonna still hasn’t accepted his invitation to appear on the show after almost 15 years of requests. Despite this, Cohen remains grateful for the opportunities he’s had on the show and the choices he’s made, including asking Oprah about “the lady pond,” which, in hindsight, was an unforgettable moment.
