Andy Cohen has an uncomplicated answer to how he gets everything on his to-do list done.
“I just hit my deadlines,” the host, producer and author says nonchalantly, as if his day-to-day consists of sending emails and building pitch decks rather than what it actually entails: emceeing his four-days-a-week SiriusXM radio show; anchoring the five-times-a-week late-night Bravo spectacle “Watch What Happens Live”; writing a book, which he’s just finished; and keeping himself abreast of the biggest pop culture happenings at any given moment. “I still do notes on every episode of ‘[Real] Housewives’ that there is,” adds Cohen, who is an executive producer of the Bravo franchise.
The night of our interview, a cut of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is on the docket, a season he’s feeling “really good” about following a “rebuilding phase.” Earlier in the day, Cohen had watched an episode of “Real Housewives of Orange County” between Radio Andy recordings, a “WWHL” taping, fit in a trip to the gym and school pickups. Now, lounging on his West Village home’s terrace, Cohen is ready to talk all things career, which he defines as “your job, basically,” to his inquisitive son, Ben, who alternates between climbing atop his shoulder and playing off-screen.
