Andy Cohen has his own show these days, but he's also not averse to sharing the screen when it suits him. Among his past projects? Some time spent on 'Saturday Night Live,' ten years with CBS, and even a touring two-man show alongside Anderson Cooper.
It's no secret that Andy Cohen doesn't exactly get along with every Hollywood star he's worked with. Case in point? The fact that Kathy Griffith called him a terrible boss and one of the worst people she's ever had to work with. With Kathy's reputation, that suggests Andy's not the easiest to get along with!
And yet, Andy's been in the industry a long time, and he's worked his way up. Sure, he's done it by being sometimes abrasively honest, but at least he seems to be authentic about what he likes and doesn't.
The thing is, he did start at the bottom, as an intern, just like everyone else. Although who he worked with may have had an impact on where he wound up.
Fans don't know everything about Andy Cohen. While some facts have been revealed over the years, one of the most interesting is that long before he became the effusive stage (well, live set) presence he is today, he was a newb trying to make his way in an intern office.
Bravo TV reported that back in the day, Andy Cohen interned with CBS. It was during his college days, and there, he met and interned alongside Julie Chen. But as Bravo TV reported, Andy once suggested that Julie "was a little bit of a wallflower, and I barely remember her because I was the star intern."
Sure, it sounds like he was joking. But still, it's tough to imagine either Andy or Julie being an intern at CBS. After all, Julie, for one, has been a TV presenter since 1990. Of course, she didn't graduate from college until 1991, so her timeline in the TV industry started way back while she was answering the phones and making copies in a CBS office.
After she interned with CBS, Julie even spent a summer interning with ABC. Of course, she'd later return to CBS; ten years after her internship concluded, Chen would host 'CBS Morning News' for an impressively long run. Then, she became the host of 'Big Brother.'
As for Andy, fans know his life has practically centered around 'Real Housewives,' and he has plenty of fun with it, too. Clearly, starting out as an intern for a news station alongside Julie Chen was one of the best things that could have happened to a young Cohen.
