King of trash TV Andy Cohen<\/a> got an offer he couldn\u2019t refuse Tuesday \u2014 a Manhattan garbage can named in his honor.<\/p>\n

The trash-talking Bravo boss proudly cut the ribbon on the Bigbelly bin stamped with \u201cAndy Cohen\u2019s Corner\u201d at Vandam and Hudson streets in Manhattan\u2019s trendy Hudson Square neighborhood, where the \u201cReal Housewives\u201d producer films the show \u201cWatch What Happens Live.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is hilarious and ironic and layered and wonderful, and I very much believe in picking up trash, so I\u2019m proud to have my name on this trash can right here on this corner,\u201d quipped Cohen, seconds after slamming a banana peel through his newly minted bin.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think Stephen Colbert has a trash can named after him?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen, 57, was given the honor \u2014 a first for the Big Apple \u2014 by the Hudson Square Business Improvement District for making the nabe the home of his iconic show for the entirety of its nearly 17-year run.<\/p>\n

Until this past summer, the \u201cReal Housewives\u201d executive lived just a few blocks away in a ritzy West Village townhouse that he pawned off to a Broadway playwright for $12 million. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAndy Cohen\u2019s Corner\u201d is inked in yellow on the bin against a blue background on one side, and \u201cWatch What Happens Live on this Corner\u201d stamped on the other end.<\/p>\n

Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal also handed Cohen a polished plaque announcing Jan. 6, 2025, \u201cAndy Cohen Day, while the BID forked over a key to Hudson Square \u2014 but made sure the fun-loving host was aware it \u201copens absolutely nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s really fun and I\u2019m really honored, actually. It\u2019s really fun,\u201d Cohen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch What Happens Live has been down here in Hudson Square for 16 years. No one was really down here when we started. We love this neighborhood, we\u2019re proud to be here,\u201d he said, lauding Disney for recently following his lead and erecting a massive studio across the street from his new corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope everyone throws out trash here with a smile.\u201d<\/p>\n

The trash can co-naming is a first of such honors in the five boroughs \u2014 and the Department of Sanitation said the city had nothing to do with the Cohen \u201chonor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The garbage can was unveiled just days after Cohen went scorched earth with former Mayor Adams <\/a>during his alcohol-fueled Times Square New Year\u2019s Eve live coverage \u2014 a new rivalry that the TV host nodded to in his Cohen Corner acceptance speech.<\/p>\n

Just seconds after the ball dropped, Cohen ripped Adams\u2019 \u201cchaotic, horrible\u201d and scandal-riddled single term while clutching a shot glass, telling the world: \u201cWe\u2019ll fiddle with what we have, with what you left us with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams retaliated with a stinging, succinct message the next day, telling The Post: \u201cI have two letters for him: AA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cohen said during his trash-bin ceremony Tuesday, \u201cListen, I was having fun, but also, where\u2019s the lie?\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King of trash TV Andy Cohen got an offer he couldn\u2019t refuse Tuesday \u2014 a Manhattan garbage can…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":498383,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[19142,9056,185,171,78797,5248,7619,67,132,68,1154,62628],"class_list":{"0":"post-498382","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-andy-cohen","9":"tag-bravo","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-lower-manhattan","13":"tag-metro","14":"tag-new-york-city-life","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-us-news","19":"tag-watch-what-happens-live"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115852617146187764","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=498382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/498382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/498383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=498382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=498382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=498382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
