Andy Cohen on ‘Scary’ Situation With Eyes After He Had to Halt Show During WWHL

After 15 years of Watch What Happens Live , Andy Cohen has seen it all. However, you can never get too comfortable and the universe threw a major curveball at Andy during a recent episode of WWHL. Thanks to a contact lens emergency, the entire show got derailed.

In the episode, Andy looks cool, calm, and collected. However, what we didn’t see is that he actually had to halt the show because his contact lenses were giving him trouble.

Andy’s eye emergency

Andy dished about the awkward moment on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live . For weeks, he’s been on the show complaining about his wonky contact lens prescription and the contentious relationship he has with his eye doctor. It all caught up to him during the WWHL episode with Cindy Crawford and Colman Domingo.

“We were sitting there, I’m starting the show, it’s like 5:30 p.m. and I look up at the teleprompter to begin the show and I really — not only can’t really see, but I’m kind of seeing double,” Andy recalled.

Andy didn’t know what to do. He had two major celebrities in the Clubhouse, the show was in progress, but he couldn’t read his teleprompter.

“But I’m looking at the camera as though it’s saying something to me and I don’t really understand what it’s saying,” he continued. “That’s the only way I could explain to you the expression on my face.”

Luckily, this episode was pretaped so Andy queued to the producers to stop the show. It’s unclear what he would have done had this happened during a live taping.

“I just thought, ‘This is terrible.’ And I stopped the show, which I never ever stop a show. I just never stop a show. And I said, ‘I can’t see,’” Andy explained.

Meanwhile, everyone in the WWHL control room was panicking. Andy said he heard “chaos” in his earpiece because everyone backstage thought he had a stroke. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.

After a few squirts of contact lens solution and a little bit of a readjustment, Andy and the team restarted the show, and everything went smoothly from there. But, you know this is a story they’re going to be retelling on set for years to come.

“And it wound up being a great show,” he said. “Cindy Crawford pleads the fifth. Colman Domingo does a brilliant Clubhouse Playhouse. I’m so excited for y’all to see this episode but when I tell you, it was scary,” Andy admitted.
