Andy Cohen is one of the hardest-working people in showbiz, and Anderson Cooper knows it.

Cohen's smiling face can be seen in a new Vulture profile, in which the Bravo host admitted that he thinks about his own cancelation pretty often.

"It's fascinating to me… the idea that you could say something and everything would be pulled away from you," Cohen said in the interview. "You have to be smart about what you say because there's no nuance anymore. People are just waiting to be outraged by every little thing."

It turns out that his friend, Anderson Cooper, also thinks about Cohen's possible downfall and admires how hard he works to keep himself afloat.

"Every day when I turn on my phone, I see content that Andy Cohen is responsible for," Cooper said in the profile. "Much more so than any late-night host, he makes it look easy, but he is paddling really, really fast under the water."

Cohen has been hit with several accusations and lawsuits from Bravolebrities in recent years, including Real Housewives of New York alum Leah McSweeney. Specifically, McSweeney sued Bravo and Cohen for discrimination and retaliation, alleging that he and other producers pushed cast members to drink and even offered some cocaine.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville also accused Cohen of sexual harassment, saying that he invited her to watch him have sex with a cast member from Below Deck.

However, Cohen denied the claims through his legal team. "To be clear: these allegations are categorically false. Mr. Cohen never used cocaine with any cast member on any Real Housewives show or with any other Bravo employee."

Cohen was eventually cleared following an investigation by Bravo and NBCUniversal. In a joint statement, the companies stated that "the outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated."

It seems like Cooper is — and has been — concerned for his BFF. But when it comes to these existing investigations, it seems that Cohen is moving right past them.
