Andy Cohen's joke about being mayor came after he successfully got the W Hotel to dim their bright sign.

While Cohen's Manhattan property is "really great" and has a "great outdoor space" — which was "the reason for the move" — the Real Housewives executive producer had a bone to pick with the W Hotel's Hoboken location.

"I have a note for the W Hoboken," he said, explaining how its directly "across the river" from his city estate and "there is a big W on top of it" that's "blindingly bright."
