Cohen Clarifies Viral 'Feud' with Matt Rogers

Andy Cohen recently clarified a viral exchange that occurred on Watch What Happens Live (WWHL) with comedian Matt Rogers. The incident, which took place on the December 9th episode, involved Cohen pressing Rogers about a book he and his Las Culturistas co-host, Bowen Yang, owe Cohen for his publishing imprint.

Cohen told Entertainment Weekly that the interaction was 'kind of just banter' and not indicative of any real feud. He explained that the conversation happened during the show's after-show segment, after he and his guests had been drinking cocktails. Rogers had acknowledged they owed Cohen a book, and Cohen inquired about its progress.

Rogers later addressed the speculation on a January 7th episode of Las Culturistas, reassuring listeners that he and Cohen are friends and that there is no drama. He explained that the mention of the book was a subtle reference to them having more time to work on it now that Yang is no longer on Saturday Night Live.

Cohen expressed his confusion regarding the rumors, stating he didn't understand why people believed there was tension. He described the book proposal for 'The Rules of Culture, Volume 1' as 'amazing' and looks forward to its completion. The book is described as a 'manifesto on culture and a Guinness World Records Book for queer people and straight girls who 'get it.'
