by Andy Cohen
First published 2014
Andy Cohen opens his diary to reveal twelve months behind the scenes of late night television. The Watch What Happens Live host navigates celebrity interviews, backstage drama, and Real Housewives chaos while searching for personal connection. Cohen drops names from his front row seat in entertainment, shares which celebrity used her dressing room as a bathroom, and chronicles the daily madness of producing television. Between hosting shows and making trouble around town, he calls his mother, dates unsuccessfully, and grows attached to the Real Housewives cast members. His search for romantic love leads him to a different kind of companionship when he finds it with a dog. Cohen reveals his unfiltered thoughts about the celebrities, situations, and absurdities he encounters. The diary captures his life at home with family and friends, including his unforgettable mother, while he juggles the demands of pop culture fame and personal relationships.
