Barbara Walters Once “Lunged” at Andy Cohen During ‘The View’ Commercial Break: “How Dare You Insult Me On My Own Show”

"I got my ass handed to me by Barbara Walters," Cohen revealed in the new Hulu doc.

Case in point, TV personality and frequent View guest host Andy Cohen shares a story in the documentary of a time when he got the full force of Walters’s fury, simply because he said she was of “a different generation.” The doc then plays a clip from that episode of The View, where Cohen says, in response to Walters, “I have to say, a lot of people of a different generation didn’t understand-“ Perhaps if Walters—who died at the age of 93 in 2022—were still alive, Cohen and others in the documentary wouldn’t feel quite so comfortable sharing their stories of Walters’s sometimes-volatile temperament.
