Andy Cohen on “Housewives” franchise, Madonna, surrogacy and Shag, Marry, Kill

On the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, Andy Cohen spills tea on The Real Housewives – its inception, its stars and which housewife gives him the best gifts. They chat about that baby shower, about why John Mayer would be Andy’s ideal husband, about gay parenting, surrogacy and why an incident in a playground with his son left him feeling like a failure. They talk about knowing your audience, how difficult it is to deal with online trolling, why he’s never had any plastic surgery and whether he’d ever share a bath with Meredith Marks. \
