Jeff Lewis revealed a new side to Andy Cohen in a podcast. Lewis said that Cohen was sensitive and could not take low jokes. He also claimed that they often get on each other’s nerves.
Jeff says Andy Cohen sometimes needs time to cool off after jokes go too far
Speaking on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Lewis said that Cohen sometimes could not take brash jokes. “I’ve gotten on his nerves more than he gets on my nerves.” He continued, “I don’t think we’ve ever hated each other but we have absolutely gotten on each other’s nerves.”
Lewis also confessed to Amanda Hirsch that Cohen, 58, was “a little more sensitive” than he was. He explained, “It’s crazy because on his show, he’s joking, joking, joking. But he can get wounded,” he said. Lewis added, “He can take the jokes [but] not all the jokes. Like, for me, people go low, and I think it’s funny. You can’t go too low with him.”
Lewis also admitted that he would sometimes “test” the limits. “We had so many — not falling out — but we’ve had so many pauses together that I don’t want to do that anymore,” he explained. “I really am trying to navigate, ‘Don’t say that, Jeff. It’s a joke, but he’s not gonna think it’s funny. Maybe everyone else in the room is gonna think it’s funny, but he won’t.”
The “Still Flipping Out” host previously spoke to Us about having to apologize to Cohen after BravoCon’s first “Ask Andy” panel. He referred to Cohen being upset with some jokes that were deemed “inappropriate and insensitive” by some fans and Bravo stars. “I thought I killed it, but Andy did not,” he said in 2025.
Elsewhere in the talk, Lewis hinted at his return to Bravo. He said the show would be called “Still Flipping Out” as the platform wanted to signal a new season.
