TV Host's Embarrassing Blunder with Oprah Winfrey Revealed

In a recent conversation with Today show anchors, TV personality Andy Cohen opened up about his "biggest on-air blunder" - an interview he conducted with Oprah Winfrey in 2013. During the live taping of his Bravo show Watch What Happens Live, Cohen, in a moment of poor judgment, turned to Winfrey and asked, "Have you ever swam in the lady pond?"

Winfrey, to her credit, responded directly, saying "No, no I have not. Thank you." Cohen's co-host Gayle King also chimed in, noting that she did not understand the question. Despite the awkward exchange, Winfrey remained professional and "super cool" after the cameras stopped rolling, according to Cohen.

The 56-year-old TV host acknowledged that he often "leans into a blooper," but this particular incident stands out as his most memorable on-air gaffe. While Winfrey's response was succinct, the moment has lived on in infamy, with Cohen now able to look back on it and laugh.

The interview was part of Winfrey's 2013 appearance on WWHL, and despite the cringe-worthy moment, Cohen maintains that it remains his "favorite episode" of the show. As for the other Today show anchors, they too shared their own on-air snafus, though none quite as memorable as Cohen's encounter with the media mogul.
