"Do you like the Madonna we just watched?" Cohen asked the little boy. Although the video didn’t fully capture Benjamin’s face, his voice echoed "No" as the answer. The producer, who was shocked about this revelation, asked again, and this time, the 3-year-old confirmed that he actually liked it. 

Andy further asked his son what exactly he liked about it, to which the boy said, "the singing and the dancing." Both father and son affirmed that, indeed, the dancing was good. 

When the 54-year-old father asked the preschooler if he would want to watch more of Madonna another time, Benjamin sweetly replied, "Yeah." This reply evoked a beaming smile from the "Watch What Happens Live" host as he was so glad that his son loved the pop icon.

The Bravo Host Recounted How Madonna Called Him Out At Her Show

It is no news how much the talk show host adores the "La Isla Bonita" songstress, and in 2019 he had a once-in-a-lifetime interaction with her during one of her performances.

On an episode of TODAY Show, the radio personality narrated to host Hoda Kotb how the "4 Minutes" singer called him out at her concert. Cohen began by professing that he absolutely loved the pop star and had attended every tour of hers since 1993.

The concert in question the host attended was in Brooklyn and had a capacity of 2000 audience, so it was an intimate show.

The "Andy Live" host further mentioned that the concert was a cell phone-free concert, and as such, their phones were collected. He recounted that after Madonna finished performing her song "Vogue," she brought out a polaroid camera and took a selfie. She then asked if anyone wanted to buy the selfie.

At this news, Cohen narrated how he enthusiastically ran to the stage along with other fans to get the picture. Thankfully, he was picked, and that was when the calling out began. 

The author said that Madonna had asked him how much he had on him, to which he replied about $500 on him. The dancer also asked what he did for a living, and he told her that he worked on tv.

With this revelation, the host disclosed the question Madonna posed to him. "Did you say on your show that Paris Hilton’s song is better than Medellin?" the singer asked, referencing her single off her "Madame X" album. Cohen expressed that he was utterly shocked about the accusation. When Kotb asked him if he really did say so, the author vehemently denied it shouting, " No, I definitely didn’t say that."

Cohen then confessed that he might have said that, but because of how many hours he talks on tv, he doesn’t remember most things he says on air. Despite the hassle, the Bravo star disclosed that he eventually got the picture for $500. To prove this, he brought out the picture and waved it. He proclaimed the picture was worth it, saying, "it is a piece of pop culture.... Madonna took a polaroid selfie and then humiliated me, but it’s fine."

Luckily for the tv personality, it was a cellphone-free concert, so there’s no recording of his humiliation.

The video the tv star posted contained Ben’s reaction to hearing the popular singer’s music. The father of two had asked the little boy who the singer reminded him of and refreshed his memory by saying, "She reminded you of Elsa, right? Because they’re both good singers, right?" referencing the character Elsa in Disney’s "Frozen."

The next time the two watched Cher again, Andy asked Ben who she looked like, and the 3- year old’s answer this time was, "She looks like Olaf the Snowman."
