Andy Cohen Addresses Possible ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Appearance.
Quote from Oladosun Joshua Segun on August 26, 2026, 1:29 PM
Regarding the speculations surrounding Dancing With the Stars, Andy Cohen isn't pleading the fifth. Indeed, the host of Watch What Happens Live recently discussed whether he would ever agree to participate in a future season of the popular ABC reality competition show.
"I got an ask about Dancing with the Stars many, many, many years ago," Cohen stated in an August 25 interview with Variety. "I can’t dance on TV. No one wants to see that."
Furthermore, the 57-year-old is not as confident on the dance floor as he is when it comes to interviewing celebs in the Bravo Clubhouse.
"I used to be the greatest freeform dancer," Cohen went on, "and I feel like every time I go to [Grateful] Dead shows, people film me dancing, and then I get made fun of on TikTok. Let me dance in peace."
Cohen, the father of Ben, 7, and Lucy, 4, won't be vying for the Mirrorball Trophy anytime soon, but maybe he would enjoy betraying his competitors on Peacock's The Traitors.
"They haven’t asked me," he disclosed. "First of all, I think I would be eliminated immediately."
In addition to his perception that he would be "such a target" in the Scottish Highlands, Cohen offered another compelling argument for why he couldn't be portrayed as either a Faithful or a Traitor.
"I host the reunion, which I would like to keep doing," he clarified. "I don’t think I could do that if I were on it."
"I’ve produced competition reality shows," Cohen continued. "So I don’t know who would want me on their cast."
With Million Dollar Listing alum Tracy Tutor, who recently joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for season 16, among the drama-loving Housewives, Cohen has his hands full for the time being.
"This is a very long time coming," he told Variety the truth. "She’s been on Watch What Happens Live for years promoting Million-Dollar Listing, and she overlaps with the Housewives of Beverly Hills. Also, her personal story is so great. She’s climbed her own mountains. She’s aspirational. If the hallmark of being a great Real Housewife is speaking how you feel, she’s certainly a bullseye."
