Andy Cohen tapped into his impressive network of celebrity friends to inject some excitement into a special blizzard-themed episode of Watch What Happens Live by making an impromptu call to none other than Sarah Jessica Parker.
The episode, which aired on Monday night, February 23, was filmed in the midst of a blizzard that blanketed New York City and its surrounding areas with record snowfall. Singer Willa Ford and Below Deck Down Under star Daisy Kelliher joined Cohen as guests on this chilly evening.
In an effort to keep things lively, Cohen invited viewers to vote on which of his famous New York City friends he should call live during the broadcast. The choices included Anderson Cooper, Amy Sedaris, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Although Cooper was the audience favorite by a large margin, Cohen realized that Cooper was unavailable due to a flight, leading him to dial the runner-up: the iconic actress who brought Carrie Bradshaw to life, Sarah Jessica Parker.
To Cohen’s delight, Parker answered after just one ring. “Hey! SJ, we’re on TV,” Cohen announced. Parker humorously responded, “I’m not in hair and makeup.”
“Hey! SJ, we’re on TV,” Cohen said, to which Parker joked, “I’m not in hair and makeup.”
Cohen then asked the actress how she made out with her snow day.
“It was really good. I had to force myself to stay in bed until 5:15 [a.m.] when I finally said, ‘That’s perfectly alright, you can get out of bed now,’” Parker said. “I was sincerely like a kid on Christmas, as it were. I literally could not wait to see what had accumulated overnight.”
Speaking of their shared neighborhood, Parker continued, “It was gorgeous. I have to say, I’ve heard some trees didn’t survive, which is unfortunate, but our trees, like, watching all of the snow build and build, it was literally like handwoven lace. It was so beautiful.”
When Cohen playfully compared Parker to “handwoven lace,” she blushed, “Aw, Andrew. Come on, now,” before wishing him a “great show” and hanging up the phone.
“Wow, she answered,” Cohen said after their call. “I love you.”
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
