Holt publisher Stephen Rubin noted the rare quality of this successful Hollywood exec is to dazzle both on-air and off. "Anyone who sees what Andy Cohen has achieved at Bravo knows the guy is a marketing genius. What nobody knows as of yet, is that Andy is also a very seductive and compelling writer with a story to tell that will charm, shock and engage readers with its candor, honesty, and wit. Andy is as irresistible on the page as he is on screen.”
