Andy Cohen Reveals He’s Banned “A Few” Stars from ‘Watch What Happens Live’

Tituss Burgess and Kathy Griffin aren’t the only ones beefing with Andy Cohen. In a recent interview with AOL Lifestyle, the Bravo host revealed that he’s blacklisted several celebrities from Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, usually because they’re too demanding or “too annoying.” While Cohen refused to identify which stars are banned from the show (probably a good move), he explained that fans would be “surprised” by their behavior. “There are a few people who we have deemed ‘not worth the trouble,'” he said.

When asked about his more difficult guests, Cohen told AOL Lifestyle that “there are a few people” he’s officially blacklisted from Watch What Happens Live due to their behavior on previous episodes. “You would be surprised, there are a few people who we have deemed ‘not worth the trouble,'” he said, adding that generally, guests are blacklisted because they come armed with too many demands. “Like you can’t talk about this and you can’t ask about that. Or there are a couple people who have been on the show that we deem too annoying to come back,” said Cohen.

In a recent appearance at AOL’s BUILD Series, Cohen explained why these types of requests rankle the WWHL staff. “We get away with a lot of stuff on our show. We don’t pre-interview our guests,” he said. “I’m one of the few people who kind of goes there. Howard Stern is my broadcasting role model. And so I like to ask questions that I don’t think the other shows in late night would ask, or the other shows on the stops would ask.”

Cohen went on to say that while he’s had “a few” guests walk away mad — Burgess seems to be one of them — he tries to be kind to stars who stop by his show. “Mainly, I don’t want to piss people off. I want them to want to come back,” he said. “They know what they’re getting into when they come on the show. But it is considered semi-dangerous — a semi-dangerous stop for celebrities.”

“Can I ask who you pissed off?” asked BUILD host Ricky Camilleri. “No, because I’ll piss them off more,” joked Cohen.
