Andy Cohen’s Son Ben Delivers Sassy ‘Star Wars’ Roast
I suppose I’ll spell it out for you: even a preschooler can spot a plot hole better than most grown-ups. When Bravo host Andy Cohen sat down to explain the magic of Star Wars to his 6-year-old son Ben, he probably expected wide-eyed wonder. Instead, Ben delivered the deadpan assessment every writer fears: “He hated the ending.” In a now-viral Instagram video, Cohen gently prompts his kiddo—“Did you like Star Wars?”—only to get a shrug and that perfectly timed one-liner. If you missed it, here’s the play-by-play you clearly needed: Cohen, juggling fatherhood and hosting duties for Watch What Happens Live, filmed himself crouched in the living room, clutching toy lightsabers like a proud pop culture mentor. He coins a dramatic lead-in—complete with sound-effect “whooshes”—to set up the galaxy-sized storyline, then whips around to solicit Ben’s big reveal. Cue toddler sass: “He hated the ending.” Pop culture lesson: never underestimate a 6-year-old’s ability to spoil your story arc.
Fans on Instagram (who, I’m sure, aren’t baffled by such kid logic) flooded the comments with laughter—some applauding Ben’s honesty, others tagging their own tiny critics. One follower quipped that Ben has “the best Rotten Tomatoes score in his age group,” while another begged Cohen to let his son narrate every movie night moving forward. This isn’t Cohen’s first rodeo; he’s previously broken down Frozen, Finding Nemo, and even The Mandalorian for his son via social posts that rack up millions of views (People Magazine, Instagram). But never has a punchline landed so straight. The clip reminds us that while dads may think they’re the expert guides through cinematic universes, their offspring can serve as unfiltered review panels at any moment.
Of course, Cohen’s clearly proud—he captioned the post with laughing-emoji fireworks and tagged surrogate mom of his newborn daughter, ensuring the whole family album gets in on the fun. And don’t worry, the little critic isn’t banned from the Death Star premiere; he’s just keeping expectations real. What’s next? Will Ben fact-check Disney’s next blockbuster or roast his dad for live‐stream spoilers? Keep your popcorn ready—this is one father-son franchise you’ll want front-row seats for. Hopefully that wasn’t too much to process; now you finally understand how a 6-year-old upends Hollywood hype.
