Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper's Friendship Is The Best

Some may call the friendship between the face of Bravo and the host of Anderson Cooper 360° "odd," "surprising," or "unlikely." I call it "perfect." There have been so many fantastic Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper friendship moments over the years, and I feel lucky to be a part of all of it. And by "be a part of all of it," I mean "look at photos and videos of these moments online." And yes, I've come bearing examples.

Before we get to the snippets of their buddydom, let us revisit the Cohen and Cooper moment that started it all. According to AC^2 legend, Cohen and Cooper were set up on a blind date many years ago. Alas, a love connection did not take place; after an awkward phone call, Cooper and Cohen opted to pull the plug on the date before it could happen. However, the hopeful matchmaker’s efforts were not all for naught: from that rough phone call, a friendship diamond was born.

Whether they’re yukking it up on TV together, going on tour together, taking vacations together, or hanging out with Kelly Ripa together, Cohen and Cooper are always a delightful duo. Their bond is something to aspire to, and their rapport is something to cherish. We should all be so fortunate to have a friend who can tell we're drinking applesauce over the phone, you know?
