Andy Cohen is all natural — for now.
“I’ve not touched [my face]. I’ve never even had Botox,” Cohen, 56, revealed during the “How to Fail With Elizabeth Day” podcast, released on Wednesday, November 20. “Joan Rivers, before she died, used to beg me to get Botox.”
As far as Cohen knows, he’s one of the only television hosts in Hollywood that hasn’t gotten a little facial enhancement.
“Every guy that I know who’s hosting a TV show, mainly all of them are younger than me or about my age. They all have had Botox,” the Watch What Happens Live host continued. “I look at their foreheads. I’m like, ‘Your forehead does not move.’ But I haven’t done it yet.”

Elsewhere in the episode, it was noted that Cohen is the “only” gay late night TV host.
“How about that the gay guy is the one that doesn’t have the Botox?” he quipped. “Wait a minute.”
Cohen did note that he is open to getting Botox in the future, but said “it’s not something that I think I need to do” just yet. “I don’t know who I would be doing it for,” he admitted. “I will probably do it soon, maybe. I don’t know.”
He went on to share a rather hilarious story about “a group of gay guys” who went overboard with the plastic surgery who he met this past summer.
“I said to my friend who brought them … ‘This is like Botched,’” Cohen recalled. “I said, ‘This has to stop.’ I said, ‘Your generation, what are you doing to yourselves?’ Like, you’re handsome young men. Stop this.”
He added, “I think people need to get a hold of themselves.”
Back to discussing Watch What Happens Live, specifically, Cohen said that being gay has allowed him to have conversations with guests that other late night hosts can’t.

“If I was straight and I was asking a lot of the women some of the conversations that we’re having about body parts and things like that,” he explained. “I think that I’m able to be a little more anatomical about it because I’ve not slept with a woman. I don’t plan on sleeping with a woman. I think we have a safe space where we can come together and have honest conversations.”
Cohen said his show offers a “safe” space for some of his female guests.
“I love camp, I love fun, I love dark humor, I love pushing the envelope,” he explained. “I think I get away with talking about certain topics because I am gay that Jimmy Fallon wouldn’t ever.”
He added, “I have an ability to ask Reba McEntire if she’s ever tried poppers. … It’s just funny. It’s just a dialogue that wouldn’t happen on another show.”
