Fans could not get enough of his commentary, pointing out, "This is what happens when you're on Bravo for too long."

"Sorry, Andy Cohen usually is dealing with housewives… who would definitely do that," another said.

"No, I watched this for a little bit, and it was so funny the entire time," a third fan added. "Andy Cohen is an American treasure."
