Andy Cohen fumes after guest wallops him with a bottle

Well, this didn’t go to plan. Talk show host Andy Cohen was left visibly fuming when a guest went a little too far, live on air.

Talk show host smashed with glass bottle when bit goes wrong

Talk show host Andy Cohen was livid after his close friend Jeff Lewis aggressively smashed a glass bottle over his head on Tuesday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.

Cohen, 56, and Lewis, 54, were in the middle of playing a round of “Spin the Bottle” with Caroline Stanbury when the shocking incident occurred.

“[Who was] the very first guest to plead the fifth on Watch What Happens Live?,” the Real Housewives of Dubai star, 48, asked, to which Cohen replied, “Oh my god, I have no idea.”

Cohen then signalled Lewis to come and tap his head with the bottle, cautioning him to “be calm.”

The interior designer then proceeded to tell Cohen he was “really sorry” before whacking the host with the bottle with enough force to shatter it into several pieces.

First came the shock …
First came the shock …
… then came the anger.

“That was too much,” the Bravo host shouted as his eyes widened in total shock and audience members gasped.

Lewis walked back to his seat telling Cohen, “OK, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

The executive producer told Lewis that his hit was “aggressive,” while Lewis claimed it was “light.”

“That was too hard, sweetie. We talked earlier about going light on each other,” Cohen scolded.

The Flipping Out star appeared remorseful, telling him, “It didn’t feel hard when I did it.”

Cohen seemed to take it all in stride and shared a clip of the video to the official Instagram page for Watch What Happens Live.

“Jeff and Andy act like siblings playing ‘Spin the Bottle!’ #WWHL,” read the post’s caption.

Fans flooded social media to rave over the hilarious exchange between the longtime friends.
