Andrew Joseph Cohen (born June 2, 1968) is an American radio and television talk show host, producer, and writer. He is the host and executive producer of the Bravo's late night talk show, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Cohen also has a pop culture channel on SiriusXM Radio named Radio Andy. He hosts a two-hour live show with co-host John Hill twice a week.
Cohen served as Bravo's Executive Vice President of Development and Talent until 2013. He was responsible for creating original content, developing innovative formats, and identifying new talent.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jessica Chastain started 2023 by telling Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” that she was open to reading a script for the film adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.” The Oscar-winning actor has long been fans’ top choice to play the title character, a reclusive old Hollywood star who reflects on her life during a final interview with an unknown journalist. “I do know there is an online thing about it,” Chastain said when asked about the fan casting. “Sure, send me a script.” Cut to the end to the year, and Chastain is officially closing the book on starring in a “Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” movie.
She recently told E! News (via IndieWire) that there is “zero possibility” she’ll play Evelyn Hugo in a movie. “But I love how excited the fans are,” Chastain added. “When I was working on Broadway, every single day, they’d be outside, when I was signing, with the books.
I just love how wonderful that fan base is. I look forward to watching it and I’m sorry to disappoint everyone out there!” Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel was published in 2017, with Netflix announcing back in 2022 that it was developing a feature film adaptation with Liz Tigelaar attached to write the script and Leslye Headland on board to direct.
Chastain went viral in the spring when a video of her refusing to sign a fan’s copy of the “Evelyn Hugo” book went viral on social media.
