Andy Cohen Jokes About Hair Comparison to George Washington

During the August 13 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Bravo mastermind Andy Cohen read a viewer's comment comparing his longer locks to those of George Washington. The 58-year-old host responded by jokingly admitting, "I can't unsee it" after hearing the comparison.

A side-by-side photo of Washington and Cohen was displayed on the show to help viewers make their own comparisons. Actress D'Arcy Carden and Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson joined in to agree that there was some resemblance between Cohen's hair and Washington's. Cohen poked fun at Washington's stern expression, saying, "By the way, I mean, George Washington looks like a grump!" His guests concurred, with Simpson adding, "He's got a lot of work to do."

Cohen then pointed out another supposed similarity between himself and Washington: their eyesight. "He does, and by the way, he's a little cross-eyed too. We both are," he said. After this lighthearted jab, he thanked his audience for their comments about his appearance, acknowledging that his hair may be slightly less sleek when styled naturally.

Several viewers took to social media to praise Cohen's comedic take on being compared to the nation's first president. One enthusiastic commenter wrote, "Too funny! I thought the same thing!" Another praised him, stating, "You're always a good sport, Andy. Love your hair long!"

In a previous photoshoot, Cohen had jokingly attributed his natural gray hair to his time on the Real Housewives franchise. He claimed, "I'm not saying the Housewives turned my hair entirely grey, but they did." Regardless of the origin story, evidence suggests that Cohen has never dyed his hair. With his evolving look now sparking historical comparisons, one thing is certain – Cohen continues to entertain audiences with his self-deprecating humor.
