Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper are set to revive their celebrated AC2 tour, a live, unscripted show that highlights their exceptional camaraderie and distinctive personalities. The duo recently announced via Instagram that they will host performances on January 23 and 24, 2026, at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, marking a major comeback after a hiatus. This tour promises a mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and unique interactions with fans, reflecting the colorful and dynamic connection between the two television personalities.
The AC2 tour, which first launched in 2015, offers audiences an unfiltered glimpse into what it’s like to hang out with Cohen and Cooper, featuring spontaneous discussions and entertaining anecdotes that audiences don’t usually get to see on television. Over the years, they have gathered celebrity fans and followers through their unscripted performances across major U.S. cities.
Their remarkable friendship began back in the 1990s when mutual friends attempted to set them up on a blind date, an endeavor that did not succeed but sparked a lasting bond. Their relationship has been a staple of popular culture, with Cooper frequently appearing on Cohen’s show “Watch What Happens Live” and the pair co-hosting CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live,” where their humorous and sometimes irreverent commentary has captured the attention of millions.
Beyond their working relationship, their families share a profound connection as well. Cohen’s children, Benjamin and Lucy, enjoy close ties with Cooper’s sons, Wyatt and Sebastian, with recent shared family outings, including a memorable trip to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Florida.
In addition to their live tour, Cohen continues to thrive in his professional life, recently extending his contract with SiriusXM for another three years. His shows, “Radio Andy” and “Andy Cohen’s Kiki Lounge,” will continue to air, offering listeners a blend of pop culture and music that has captivated audiences over the years.
Cohen expressed his gratitude for his enduring relationship with SiriusXM, highlighting the creative and supportive environment that has allowed him to develop a unique platform for entertainment. With “Watch What Happens Live” also renewed through 2027, Cohen’s career remains on a promising trajectory. Fans of the duo can look forward to more laughter and memorable moments from AC2’s return and beyond.
