Andy Cohen made a major change during his hosting duties on Watch What Happens Live in order to lose weight! The Bravo host revealed on the Today show on November 5 that he stopped drinking cocktails on his show and lost 12 pounds.
Tim McGraw spoke with Today host Hoda Kotb about how his family urged him to make changes for his health. The country singer made major strides to slim down and opened up a fitness studio earlier this year.
Hoda, 55, then asked Andy, 51, if any family members or friends pushed him to lose weight. “I’m a pretty tough critic of myself and don’t you find that seeing yourself in a monitor every day — doesn’t that mess with your head sometimes?” Andy asked. “Because you’re forced to look in the mirror a lot because there is a monitor under these cameras that we are looking at.”
He continued, “So, this summer, I had a moment where I was like, I really felt like my suits were getting tight and it was beach season and I was wearing like button-downs to the beach and I’m like ‘I’m not this guy, I’m not doing this.’”
“I lost 12 pounds and I’ve just been really watching what I’m eating,” Andy revealed before adding that he quit drinking during his hosting duties on WWHL. As fans know, there’s always a guest bartender on the show and cocktails available for the host and his guests.

The Housewives have also taken notice of Andy’s recent slim down. In July, the WWHL host shared a photo of himself on Instagram in short shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt as he took his dog for a walk. “I won’t apologize for having the cutest dog in town!” he captioned the picture.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga interjected, “Or the best legs.” Robyn Dixon from The Real Housewives of Potomac similarly wrote, “But can you apologize for those legs? You are putting most of us to shame.”
He also received praise from Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge. “That ain’t no dad body ?,” she commented.
The Bravo host welcomed his son, Benjamin, in February via surrogate. During an interview with Howard Stern shortly after his son was born, Andy revealed he made another health change and stopped smoking marijuana. “Not since the baby,” he told the radio host. “I don’t feel comfortable … It’s not the time for that.”
