Not only has Andy Cohen brought us countless hours of reality greatness, but he's also vastly improved the late-night landscape with Watch What Happens Live.
The interactive late-night talk show brings together the best of newsworthy celebrities and Bravo personalities and lets the alcohol-infused sparks fly live on Sunday through Thursday nights.
Here are some of the wildest moments the show has gifted us in its nearly 15-year run.
1.We have to start with one of Andy's self-proclaimed most unforgettable moments when he got Hillary Clinton to do a shotski with him and Dorinda Medley.
For those who don't know, the shotski was a gift from Jimmy Fallon and his wife Nancy Juvonen back in January 2012 to celebrate the shot expanding to five nights a week. With three shot glasses attached to a ski, three people have to time their shot perfectly so as not to make a mess. The underside reads "Andy's Clubhouse Shots."
Andy's shared shotski with the former presidential hopeful came days before the world started shutting down amid the pandemic.

2.Shotskis can really bring people together. Another iconic trio was Andy, bestie John Mayer, and the legendary Dan Rather, who shared a shot in 2012.
"When we had Dan Rather and John Mayer on and the three of us did a shot,” he recalled to Variety, "It was so cool to me because John was a friend of mine and he didn’t know Dan."
"And Dan — I mean, I grew up at CBS News, and there’s Dan, who now is not only on my show but has his own show on my radio channel, so we’re working together in a totally different capacity. That’s a real full-circle thing for me in my career."
3.Andy dropped an F-bomb for the first time in 13 years in an impassioned Jackhole of the Day in January 2023, when he went on a rant about a TikTok trend faking celebrity deaths to gauge people's reactions.
Andy immediately noted the slip up but kept his rant going, even as guests Kenya Moore and Carson Kressley giggled.
Andy did apologize for his slip up, both on air and later online.
4.Cursing was also an issue in 2015 when Lala Kent and James Kennedy got themselves basically banned from the clubhouse for cursing up a storm and pissing Andy off.
"It was just gross. They didn’t stop cursing, and I was really irritated. The viewers hated it," Andy later said of the episode. "They were cursing so much, whoever our censor is, they’re very liberal, and every time you say a curse word, they block out the sentence before, the sentence after, so it’s like the whole episode was on mute. And it was very irritating. And it just left a really bad taste in my mouth."
5.Mariah doesn't know her either (Demi Lovato that is).
When Andy asked Mariah about Demi Lovato's comments about the diva's attitude toward questions about Jennifer Lopez, Mariah doubled down on her iconic line.
She proceeded to tell the pop singer how she should've handled the situation and some points were made.

6.Lady Gaga's Artpop makeover for Andy was one for the books.
From a face beat to a wig, Gaga gave Andy the works and turned him into a bonafide Artpop girlie.

7.Shaq reveals what he's working with.
Rarely does Andy blush, but when he asked Shaquille O'Neal if his shoe size was indicative of how well endowed he was, the Bravo host was all kinds of flustered.
Shaq was a good sport and took off the aforementioned shoe to let folks know...it translates.

8.Shemar Moore shared a kiss (and a shot) with Sweet Brown.
Sweet Brown (the "Ain't nobody got time for that" lady herself) was flirting it up throughout the episode. She got a lapdance and everything, and that's not where it ended.
Shemar then did a shotski with Andy and Aisha Tyler, turned to Sweet Brown, and kissed her, passing the shot into her mouth.

9.Dwight Eubanks flashed Andy his "penile implant" on Watch What Happens Live back in 2009.
"See look!" Dwight said, enthusiastically whipping it out for Andy to see.

10.When Kim Zolciak called into WWHL from the Bahamas to fight with NeNe Leakes for three minutes straight while Andy sat there humored and befuddled.
NeNe had no problem telling Kim how she felt about her attempted "drag queen" diss.
Watch the moment here:
11.When Andy told Brandi Glanville that Joanna Krupa tweeted "No wonder her husband left her."
Andy recoiled, Mark Consuelos hit the floor, and she still kept going.
Watch the moment here:
12.Brandi's been known to shake up the clubhouse, like when she appeared with Jeff Lewis, and he shot back at a joke about running her hands through his hair by implying he'd catch an STD if she did.
Brandi then started to cry while a confused Jeff and Andy tried smoothing things over to no avail.
Watch the moment here:
13.When Joe Jonas actually answered a "Marry, Shag, Kill" scenario where his options were Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, and Gigi Hadid.
Even Andy was surprised.

14.You can't forget the time that Whoopi Goldberg taught Andy how to roll a joint, improvising with oregano and lap desks.
She walked him through step-by-step as only a pro could.

15.Last but not least, the time Patti LuPone declared Madonna a "movie killer."
She said what she said, and she committed to it.
