Andy Cohen on Colbert cancellation: ‘CBS is just cooked'
Andy Cohen says CBS's cancelation of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' shows that the network is 'cooked.' 'They are saying, 'We're done,'' Cohen, who hosts and executive produces his own late-night program, 'Watch What Happens Live,' on Bravo, said of CBS on his SiriusXM Radio Andy show on Monday. 'They're turning the lights out completely at 11:30, which says to me, it's like, CBS is just cooked,' Cohen said. Cohen's comments came days after CBS said in a shock announcement that it was pulling the plug on 'The Late Show' in what it called a 'purely financial decision.' 'It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount,' CBS said about the move, The cancelation of the show headlined by Colbert — a frequent critic of President Trump — came weeks after Paramount Global, CBS's parent company, agreed to settle a high-profile lawsuit for a reported $16 million brought by President Trump over a '60 Minutes' interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. The announcement that CBS was ending 'The Late Show' in May 2026 also came amid an effort by Paramount to secure a multi-billion-dollar merger with fellow entertainment giant Skydance, in a transaction that will need approval from Trump's government regulators. On his radio show, Cohen criticized CBS for outright canceling Colbert's show, one of late-night TV's ratings winners. 'They say that 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' is losing $40 million a year,' Cohen said of CBS, before listing a number of potential cost-saving moves the network could make. 'We could cut the budget in half. Maybe move out of the Ed Sullivan Theater — do the show in a small studio that we already own, because CBS has a lot of studio space,' Cohen said, imitating network executives. 'Cut down on staff: You have 200 people working here. We need it to be 100 people, or 60,' Cohen said CBS could tell Colbert. 'Instead of you doing your show five days a week, we're going to do your show four days a week, and you're going to pre-tape your Thursday show,' Cohen, 57, continued. 'That's the way right there to cut the budget at least in half,' he added, 'as opposed to saying, out of nowhere as [Colbert] portrayed it, they called them in and said, 'Your show's losing money. We're canceling it.''

Ricki Lake Facelift Before And After Photos
Ricki Lake, every millennial's favorite TV babysitter, is providing us with all the before-and-after details of her cosmetic procedure. The former talk show host revealed she underwent a lower face and neck lift on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, and on July 18, she shared a post on Instagram reflecting on her "brave choice" after losing weight. "One year ago I did a thing," Ricki said in the caption. "Yes, today July 18th, is the one year anniversary of my deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild co2 laser. I was in the best of hands with my plastic surgeon @drallenfoulad., a true master in his field. After a dear friend had the most incredible experience with Dr, Foulad, I made the decision to follow in her footsteps. She is that friend that does all the research and due diligence for you. She met with all the top docs in the country. So thankful for her going first." Ricki explained that after her weight loss journey, she wanted to focus on adjusting her facial features. "I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin," she wrote. "It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55. Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life." "One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself," Ricki wrote. "I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be. Also, so many people are interested and want to know, so here you go…" Ricki shared a series of photos detailing the entire process from the very first visit to the doctor to her post-op recovery. Here's a before photo of Ricki showing the areas she "disliked": Here's Ricki's initial consultation with Dr. Allen Foulad: Here's Day 2 with her husband, Ross Burningham, who was "nervous yet so supportive" of her cosmetic journey, according to Ricki. Here's an after photo on Day 11 of post-op where "some bruising and swelling" are still visible. Here are photos before and after 2 months post-op: And here's what she looked like three and a half weeks post op with "(no makeup or filter)." Here's what she looked like almost a year after the procedure, on May 12, 2025, with makeup. And finally, here's Ricki on May 21, 2025, with no makeup, living her "best life in NYC." If you were a '90s latchkey kid and watched her talk show religiously when you came home from school, you'd know Ricki's always advocated for transparency. To see the before and after photos side-by-side, visit Ricki's Instagram and show her some love.
