Gayle King knows how to make Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen gag.
In a new interview clip from Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, TV icon King can be seen making longtime best friends Cooper and Cohen stutter and spit after she asked them a very sexy question.
King was playing a game of quickfire questions with Cooper that quickly turned raunchy with questions like “would you make a sex tape?” to “do you like baby talk?” Then, Cooper was asked if he would ever bring “a third into the bedroom.”
Cooper said that that wasn’t his style, prompting Cohen to jump in to tease his longtime friend. “Oh really?” Cohen asked. “I forgot we’re on TV.”
But things were just heating up.
Cohen’s comments prompted King to ask her own question: “Andy, can I ask why you know that Anderson is open to threesomes in the bedroom?”
Cooper, who was drinking from a glass of soda, immediately did a spit take, soaking himself and the studio carpet.
“You okay? You okay, dear?” King asked Cooper as the three laughed. “Clean up on aisle three!”
Cohen himself seemed quite gagged by the question, freaking out just as much as Cooper was!
“The control room is freaking out in my ear because they know I’m silently freaking out,” he said, holding back laughter. He then answered King’s question about how he knows. “Just because… mother’s intuition,” he quipped.
While Watch What Happens Live is known for its viral moments, it's rare to see Cohen and his close friend Cooper get this flustered.
