Andy Cohen's pity date with Howard Stern staffer Chris Wilding was a DISASTER

[bold] Part II [/bold]

That dinner was particularly problematic for Cohen, considering he drank two tequilas and ate only salad and caviar.

“That was a very long day. … I was super buzzed when I showed up… I had had two tequilas, I had a little bit of an edible. … And I left drunk,” Cohen recalled on Stern. “[When I went to leave], I felt like I was checking myself. I actually felt tipsy at that point… In my mind, I was like, ‘I need to remove myself before this goes off the rails.’ Clearly, in your mind, it had already gone off the rails but I was actually trying to protect myself at that point.”

On the way out, Cohen actually walked into the glass door at the restaurant, he remembered. “It was bad,” Cohen said. “I was not happy about it. I raced into the Lyft from there. I was embarrassed.”

While it wasn’t a match, Cohen still insisted he enjoyed his time with Wilding — and even explained that he showed the Stern Show writer a live-feed of a sleeping baby Ben.

“I thought we had a nice chat. I’m sorry to hear that we didn’t,” Cohen said. “Aloof as I may have been once or twice, I thought we had a nice talk. I really got to know you. I asked you a million questions. I talked to you a lot about you. I really actually did feel like I was very attentive to you.”

“I shouldn’t have come lit up,” Cohen continued. “I’m aware that I came in buzzed. I’m aware that at one point it shifted and it notched up to me. So I’m aware of those things. I own everything else you are saying. I’m owning. I don’t want to sit here and defend having tequilas on an empty stomach. It’s not necessarily the greatest moment in my life.”

All in all, Cohen was happy to have gotten back out into the dating world. “It’s the first time I’ve been out with someone since I had a child,” Cohen said.

And bad as it was, it hasn’t stopped Cohen’s quest for love. “I did have a date last week,” Cohen told Stern. “It was like a 45-minute date. I showed up stone cold sober. The guy was not into me. I thought he was interesting, but he was very not into me.”

Back in February, Cohen told PEOPLE that his approach to dating would likely shift a bit, now that he’s a father and has a child’s interest to take into account.

“I think that I will probably be looking for different types of guys,” said Cohen, who split from boyfriend Clifton Dassuncao last March. “I’ll be looking for guys you want to bring home to Mom or bring home to your son.”

“It’s not going to be a revolving door of ‘This is your new uncle,’ ” he joked.

thread talking about how the date was set up by Howard:

Help me. Call child protective services now.

Don't listen to Stern, so I googled the staffer, and saw a photo of him with Cohen. Felt bad for the staffer, because while he dodged a bullet with Cohen, he is still SHORTER than him! Jesus, how small is he?!

Chris Wilding is kinda cute. Andy Cohen is CHUBBY, SUNNY AND CROSS EYED he's not some kind of a catch. He is RICH and FAMOUS so those two give him some curb appeal in the gay dating marketplace.

Chris Wilding is an angry, aggressive guy. Deport him. National threat

Andy Cohen is a 50 year old mess. What is he doing raising a child.

Here's Chris Wilding.

Not exactly your ideal lay.

Dude, you're white. We don't need to have anything other than a nice cut and leave in conditioner to look good. WTF is wrong with your hair? Throwback gene?

[quote]Andy Cohen is a 50 year old mess. What is he doing raising a child.

Maybe he just need a little publicity?

[quote]Dude, you're white. We don't need to have anything other than a nice cut and leave in conditioner to look good

You can't really be delusional enough to think simply being white makes you attractive. Maybe stay off of the reddit/incel messagebaords where you all think you look like characters from "300" when you really look like this:

He's kind of cute r11. What's your problem.

[quote]You can't really be delusional enough to think simply being white makes you attractive.

I'm talking about his hair because I'm slamming him. I already know he's gross.

I'm saying he doesn't have "straw hair" so he doesn't have to go "full Japan" on his hair.

Well, be careful slamming him, R13. I get Andrew Cunanan vibes from him. He seem off.

Andy Cohen is a fucking MESS in life, Hunty!

so Andy was late, drunk and a bit high. He also looked at his phone the whole time. Nice. I don't get why he went on this pity date at all as now he looks worse than if he had just said "no thanks"

[quote]don't get why he went on this pity date at all

Felt sorry for the guy.

R18 so why act so disinterested on the actual date? He could have had a short 30 minute day with his full attention

Drunk high and distracted. Andy is a real Father of the Year. I think he’s tired of the baby already.

*date not day

I think that his behavior on the date is a very accurate description of who he is as a person. Immature, selfish and sad.

The Chris dude is 30 and WANTS a relationship? Dude, that's not what your youth is for! Men are at their hottest in their 30s, and the last thing any guy needs is to be tied down!

I remember the clip of the initial “meet” from the show, the whole thing felt like product placement/staged PR.

Aww, Chris is cute. Sad that Andy was so shitty to him.

Andy is recognized in New York as a drunk. Not surprised he showed up buzzed. Andy Cohen is a MESS.

When you start making a point of telling people you did something while sober (like Andy did when describing his other bad date), you have a problem. He also likes to announce when he's sober on his show..or "sobes" as he sometimes calls it.

Chris is a 5 who only wants to date a 10 or a star. Send him the fuck back to Canada now.

What R22 said.

Andy Cohen is not only a drunk, he’s abuses coke and other drugs. Why would anyone want to touch this narcissistic witch!

I'd rather fuck the r11 nerd than either Chris or Andy.

Andrew Cohen is a fucking drunken coked out piece of shit

Chris looks kind of like Alan Cumming or a young Marc Almond.

[quote]showing up 15 minutes late to the date, not giving him his phone number, getting too intoxicated, and seeming distracted while they were talking

Miss Cohen is vile and a drug addict! Call Child Services now!

I don't blame Andy. Chris is scrawny and homely. Howard has a crush on Chris and needs to come out of the closet already. He can't live vicariously through other gays. It's so obvious how much Howard wants a taste of Chris. It must be torture for him.

Andy Cohen should date Mason Reese.

I felt bad for Chris because it was obvious from the get-go that Andy Cohen was only interested in self-promotion. Andy is and always will be a narcissist.

R38, And what was Chris interested in? Certainly not Andy. He just wanted to get in with the celebrity crowd Andy is part of and advance his own career. It's not Chris is going to get anywhere with Howard. Chris wants to desperately be a social climber, but he lacks good looks and personality.

Andy Cohen is only interested in sex with porn star escorts.

I think Chris Wilding is cute. He looks like an a generic urban geek employee of Google. But he's still kinda cute.

It was just something for both of them to talk about to get some attention for themselves. Andy doesn't talk about who he really dates.

Chris obviously has low self-esteem or completely lacks the ability to read vibes from other people. It was clear when they met in Howard's studio that Andy was pitying him. Why would anyone agree to a date with someone they know was doing it just to be nice? It's like Chris was hoping he could change Andy's mind. Pathetic

Why would 2 bossy bottoms go on a date?

r44

Chris claims he is a top!

It's very cunty to announce on the radio that you immediately thought you were too good for your date -- so you tried to set him up with the help.

I think Chris is cute!

And — if you're into that — "totally straight acting."

Never would've guessed he was gay, if he didn't talk about sucking his co-workers' cocks all the time.

R47, You have got to be kidding. Get some glasses and fix your gaydar.

Is Chris the one about to get deported to Canada soon ? I think it's him. Shame that none of the star power included in the Howard Stern Show can help with the matter.

Chris Wilding is a skinnyish nerdyish type with glasses but he does have a MASCULINE voice. Either way I think he's cute.

Andy isn't into uncut 4eyed nerds vulnerable to sudden deportation by Stephen Miller.

Chris also initially claimed to have 7 inches. Andy doesn't go for liars like that.

Not when he can have the real deal at the snap of two fingers.

Who was the pitier and who was the pitiee?

Chris would only get the time of day from Andy if her were able to help his career, a bigger star, or underage.

Three words: CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES.

Cohen is an addict and he must harbor a lot of infectious agents. That kid dodged a bullet and shoule thank his lucky stars.

Chris is obviously a DL'er...or has Google Alerts on his name. Chris, tell us how you truly feel.

Andy is deplorable.

I'd never heard of Wilding before this thread, but he is similar to Cohen in a very unattractive way. They both are very outspoken and loud; I could never be with a guy who doesn't have some sort of filter.

Honestly, who would want to date Andy Cohen? He comes across as a self-satisfied drunk and a drug addict, especially with stories like Kathy Griffin’s factored in, he’s 50 and he proudly dates and objectifies 20 year olds, he seems mean and shallow. Who would want that?

Wilding is actually very clever on the show. I think he’d be a hot lay

He's a masculine nerd.

Did Wilding have trouble telling which direction Cohen was looking in when they were speaking face to face. I mean Andy's got that one crazy chameleon eye so you never know.

R61, Hi Chris! You're not fooling anyone.

R60 There are people who find him attractive (I'm not one). So they would probably want to have sex with him. But someone actually staying in a relationship with him would take another totally dysfunctional person, or a fame whore.

[QUOTE] Chris is a 5 who only wants to date a 10

Like 90% of gay men, you mean.

I'm a 5 who owns it but all the guys in my looks bracket are obsessed with pursuing men out of their league.

Then they butch about not getting dates/laid.

I'm not saying Chris is an anomaly, but I know there are gay guys out there who date within their lane. And I also know there are hopeless gay guys who think they deserve a 10 when they are barely a five.

[quote]Chris is a 5 who only wants to date a 10

Apparently not, if you went on a date with Andy Cohen.

R67-Are you saying Chris dates IN HIS LANE or OUT OF HIS LANE?

So what exactly Andys type-black,latino,rough trade,wealthy,working class? At least Anderson had pattern of dating blatino men. What is Andy looking for?

Sorry for the dropped words

Anybody with sense would know better than to date a Stern staffer, or to watch his Ps & Qs if he did. Instead, Andy thought he was the one with the power on this date.

Hey Chris, just let Howard suck your cock already.

^Ewwwwwwwwwwwww

The date didn’t work out because the guy didn’t look enough like Ralph Fiennes- who Andy is madly in love with. He and RALPH broke up- but they seem to be working through it. Andy and SJP went to the premiere of The White Crow. Andy looked -tense. Oh, and still looking for the Ralph meets the baby Instagram pic. Nope. Andy is bitter.

What R66, R67, [bold]and[/bold] R68 (😂) said.

R70 Andy has mentioned a variety of celeb crushes over the years:

1) he said once on WWHL that back in the late 90s after finding out he was staying at the same hotel as Antonio Sabato Jr (obviously way before he became a deplorable), he stalked him. I don't think he spoke to him but he was watching him at the pool

2) After Nick Jonas "grew up" from the Jonas Brothers, went solo, got in shape and became a sex symbol, Andy started openly lusting for him. He has tamped down on that since Nick married Priyanka though as he's had her on his show several times. Interestingly, bff Anderson also has a crush on Nick

3) he has said more than once how attractive he finds the husband of Million Dollar Listing's Fredrik Eklund (the Swedish former gay porn actor)

4) he has also said more than once that he finds Apollo Nida, ex husband of Phaedra Parks (ex cast member of Real Housewives of Atlanta) to be very attractive

5) he has also said more than once he finds attractive Juan Dixon, former NBA player and ex husband (but still romantic partner) of Real Housewives of Potomac cast member Robyn Dixon

6) he has also said he loves "gingies" aka red headed men

the 1 common denominator is he likes younger guys for the most part but pretty varied beyond that

R77 That you paid that much attention to the remarks of someone that vapid is a bit scary.

R77 and yet what R75 said seems closest to the truth. All these other "crushes" are likely just a ploy to distract from his real personal situation.

I would think anyone who goes on a date with Andy Cohen is throwing HIM a pity date. Dude is gross as fuck. Cross-eyed opportunist who has dumbed down American culture by fifty notches.

R80 You don't know people very well.

Celebrity is worth more than anything nowadays. It has great currently.

Plenty of people would go out with Cohen, regardless of his shortcomings.

R81, she means CURRENCY. Bitch is drunk on Boone's Farm Strawberry.

[quote]To help, Cohen even offered to set Wilding up with a few of his friends, including his longtime masseuse.

Why would he offer to set him up with a female?

If it's a male, it's a masseur, not a masseuse.

A couple weeks ago, a 26 year old guy named Dalton from Dallas called into Andy’s radio show to brag about his first circuit party. Andy asked him to DM him a photo of himself which was one of the guy in a jockstrap. Andy LOVED what he saw and said he happened to be heading to Dallas that Thursday. He arranged to meet him basically on air. It was like the gay version of Marie Antoinette- lazy royalty getting to fuck a commoner just ‘cuz. His sidekick and ex boyfriend John Hill was clearly annoyed with all of it and grudgingly had to hear about the date the next week when he was back. Andy didn’t spill the sex details but it was obvious Andy fucked him (or got fucked by him, whatever). In any other world, a short 51 year old guy wouldn’t that pull what sounded like a prime piece of 26 year old ass but when you’re Andy... you can clearly order it with the ease of a Domino’s Pizza.

You listen to his radio show?

R84- it’s more of a hate listen, but yes.

Drunk and high on a date and showing videos of his baby. Father of the year material

Cohen seems dim. Pop culture knowledge is not attractive to me. Neither are guys his age who drink a lot.

I would be scared about what the immature, ill-informed Cohen would talk about on a date. It would be like trying to lure a 12-year-old girl into bed. YUCK.

He is in the entertainment business. He has access to great restaurants and bars. He has an unlimited budget and he never has to drive. Naturally, he is going to indulge more than the average person.

R90 is an alcoholic.

[quote] Why would he offer to set him up with a female? If it's a male, it's a masseur, not a masseuse.

To be fair to the poster, Andy, Chris and Howard were all using the term masseuse (incorrectly, of course). The Stern Show does this all the time. They have no idea there's a difference. But then, I think most people are stupid and don't, and it's just become accepted, like pronouncing nuclear nu-cu-lur.

In the U.S., it's not in fashion to gender the names of occupations.

Makes sense for massage therapist, but masseuse is already a feminine gendered word as it’s borrowed from another language.

Andy is already bored with his accessory - oops I mean baby. When does he spend time with it? Live feed really doesn't count.

Cohen is 50 years old. Its sad to hear that at that age he doesnt know the basics of dating and actually being a decent human being....... You dont go on a date already buzzed and you dont go late and you dont spend a lot of your time on your phone while on the date. Wilding should have walked out on him. At this rate Cohen will be single forever.

Cohen most likely does know the basics of dating, he just wasn't out with a hot 25 year old athlete so he treated this poor man like shit. He's an ass, always will be

He is a mess

[quote]Cohen most likely does know the basics of dating, he just wasn't out with a hot 25 year old athlete so he treated this poor man like shit.

R97, nah. This is somehow worse since he knew it would be talked about in the future on air, at the least by the guy he went out with.

If he couldn't pull it together for that fact alone there's a problem.

R25 : WOW his hands are small.

At least he undressed me with his wonky eye between texts with Real Housewives.

R84 when did Cohen and Hill date? Before or after Andy's Brazilian Harvard grad school ex bf a couple years ago?

also did the listeners find out who the Dallas circuit whore was?

R84- Andy and John dated years ago. John was on Broadway in Hairspray and I believe Andy was at CBS News. John was a hot young thing at the time.

Re- your 2nd question-there wasn’t a big social media reveal about the circuit whore. He called in, his name was Dalton and Andy was instantly enamored.

Maybe Andy is drunk/high all the time.because he knows what shitty shows he produces and he wants to drink to forget that he churns out mediocre entertainment.

^ I will bet that Andy thinks he is a programming genius and thinks what he produces is fabulous! I am saddened to think that John Mayer is best friends with this guy-- what does that say about JM? (nothing good).

Mayer's a douche

And just where was the newborn during all this?

So he walks into a glass door stoned and drunk and then goes home to take care of his child. He's 50 yrs old people. What a fucking idiot.

R106: I fear you are correct, though I respect JM's musical talent. I had hoped he had matured but apparently not, given his choice of friends.

He is not taking care of the kid. The 24/7 nannies take care of the kid.

R36 I have thought for many many many years now that Howard was gay or at least gay curious. His obsession with anal and his obsession with talking about gay stuff a lot on his show never felt particularly straight guy to me.

There are plenty of straight guys who like anal from time to time but honestly in the years of working surrounded by other men never heard them talking about getting asshole that much.

I agree R111. Remember when Howard had George Takei on his show? He would bring in a parade of men exposing their cocks for George to evaluate. I think it was just an excuse for Howard to look at cock.

Yes I remember when George was on the show as a semi-regular. Started listening to Howard back in the 80s and have seen him progress to where he is now. In the early days he seemed typical straight guy but the more his fame grew and the more he got into turning his shows into porn I think it just open the door for him.

I don't think Howard is gay but I do think he is fascinated by it. I think it is upsetting to him that there are gay men in the entertainment world that are more successful and powerful than him.

To him, this upsets the natural order of things. This is the reason for his interest in closeted celebs especially ones that have his status level or higher.

If they weren't in the closet, he reasons they wouldn't be as successful as him. He knows feeling like this is wrong but he can't shake it off.

This is why he does these segments where being gay is made the source of amusement. Howard portrays it as him being open-minded. I think he is conflicted about it.

Sure Jan.

R114, Are you Gary Dell'Abate or Jon Hein?

I love the fact that Cohen gives as an excuse for showing up drunk and buzzed as that he "had a full day — which included ...having lunch at the Palm, going to work event at the top of the Rock, and catching up with his best friend for dinner at the Polo Lounge." Um most of us have lunch, and none of us consider going to an event at a club or having dinner with a friend "hard work." Soldiers facing an attack are having a full day; firemen putting out a three-alarm blaze have a full day; Surgeons performing a heart transplant have a "full day". Having lunch, dinner and drinks, for most of us, would be pretty relaxing. What a superficial idiot.

Every time Andy refers to Howard’s show as “The Stern Show” or says, “I’m going on Stern,” I want to set something on fire.

Why are DL Queens obsessed with this CHUBBY CROSSED EYED TWO BIT CELEBRITY.

Andy’s preference are porn actors and hustlers. He has an off and on “arrangement” with Brent Corrigan and other porn escorts.

Then he should have a lot in common with Chris Wilding, who makes a fool of himself every time he lusts over the gay porn stars Howard has on the show.

I would imagine AC hires "the help" for his pet child from castoffs in the Housewives franchise who are not "telegenic" enough to be "background."

R121 he does seem rather desperate

Andy said he was 5’9” on his radio show today. I am calling BULLSHIT. I’ve seen him around the West Village and he is a dwarf.

Andy is a midget! Closer to 5”4. He wears lifts and heals?

I listen to his Sirius show sometimes. Usually, try to hear the news because Sandra Bernhardt sits in. I also love when John Hill does his Australian newswoman impression.

Dammit R105 I thought I was the John Mayer Troll!! How are there two of us and yet his thread is dead?!

How long until child services removes the baby from Cohen because of his drug, alcohol and prostitution addictions?

R127: Ha ha--I am the original John Mayer troll! But you can be the OTHER JM troll. Maybe between the two of us we can revive the JM thread? I am very concerned for our boy-- forget the bi/gay rumors/behavior, he now seems asexual to me. Any thoughts? Would love to hear from my fellow JM troll lol.

We saw Brent Corrigan with Andy and new baby last week.
