For some reason, Ryan Seacrest is ABC’s golden boy. He has hosted American Idol, Live with Kelly and him, Disney Specials, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and now Wheel of Fortune. Therefore, you would think he has been asked to put on his Boogie Shoes for Dancing with the Stars at least once. Right?
Yesterday, when he was on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked him how many times the dancing competition called him to be on the show. The answer is…ZERO!
That’s right. His phone hasn’t rung from that one competition show on the Alphabet network.
Would he do it? Yes. He thinks it would be fun. However, he says he knows he would be an underdog. Because, like his singing, he cannot do that either.
Andy Cohen has made a lot of women who look like wax statues famous. And now the host of Watch What Happens Live has his own life-size candle at Madame Tussauds New York.
Yesterday, Cohen met himself on the replicated set of Bravo Clubhouse at the museum and he loved it.
In fact, he told the curators, “I think I can walk on 42nd Street and croak, and it will all be good. I have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and now I am in Madame Tussauds. I’m done.”
And since he is done, Bravo could just use his wax clone to host the show, and no one would know the difference. The museum really did a great job with likeness. Actually, they made the copy look better than the original.
You can visit the Fake Andy and take photos with him on that set now!
Alyssa Farah Griffin was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen yesterday. One of the show’s fans wanted to know, “What was the wildest thing that you still cannot believe came across your desk when you were special assistant to Trump in the White House?”
I was kind of afraid of her answer because you never know what lunacy was going on in his head. However, it wasn’t as scary as I thought. What is it? “One day, he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country.”
Thankfully, they talked him out of it because that would have brought a whole new level of insanity to the 1600 Penn. And that was tough to do between the years of 2017-2021.
Sandra Bernhard and Morgan Fairchild played lovers on Roseanne for three episodes in 1992, but things were not the same between them when the cameras were not rolling.
Yesterday, when the comedian was on Watch What Happens Live, a viewer wanted to know what it was like for the comedian to work with the legend.
Bernard responded with, “It’s one of my biggest regrets that I wasn’t nicer to her. I wasn’t. I was a little dismissive of Morgan.
“I would like to say to Morgan, ‘You were incredible to work with. You went there. We were the first gay couple [They were not.] on TV…You were fabulous. And you were on the right side politically. I owe you an apology. I adore you. And thank you for putting up with my snotty little attitude.”
Bernard also admitted she was not the only one who was rude to her.
In their defense, not the one that should have one, Roseanne is rumored to have been an awful set to work on. So that could have played a part in their attitude toward her. The Roseanne people were not used to working with someone that is nice.
UPDATE: Morgan Fairchild responded to Sandra Bernhard with class. “I’m very touched by @SandraBernhard’s words. Very nice of her,” she wrote. “Yes, it was a difficult set for me, but that’s show biz. I already follow her on X, but she doesn’t follow me. She can DM me any time & I’d say ‘Let’s grab coffee’. Love to you all.”
Bearnard responded with. “Thank you Morgan for you kind response to my apology you have always been a groovy open talented person & you deserve all the celebration & love people shower you with you champion those who need it the most hats off lady we will break it all down over a cup of Joe asap! X”
We know the late Christopher Reeve as Superman. But that almost wasn’t the case.
James Brolin told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live yesterday that he was offered the role but turned it down.
The actor had several successful film roles in the early ’70s, like Skyjacked and West World, and said he “couldn’t see being in a red sock hanging up on wires, and them saying ‘That’s lunch.’ And I’m like, ‘Get me down. There were just a lot of things about it that I thought would change the direction of my career.”
While he does not regret turning down that role, he said that he regrets accepting the TV show Hotel from Aaron Sorkin and not holding out for the right film role after a two-year drought.
As someone who grew up watching The Amityville Horror and Marcus Welby, M.D., I think he made a mistake. Because his legacy is now being Mr. Barbra Steisdand and it could’ve been as something else.
