Andy Cohen Debunks AI Speedo Photos on The Tonight Show

Andy Cohen addressed viral images depicting him wearing revealing swimwear during an appearance on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which aired Monday, October 19, 2026, in New York City. The television host explained that the widely circulated photographs were generated by artificial intelligence, prompting a humorous exchange with host Jimmy Fallon about Cohen's actual swimwear preferences.

According to Out.com, the images attracted attention over the summer, with viewers complimenting Cohen's apparent physique. Cohen rejected the photographs' authenticity during the late-night interview, making clear that the images did not accurately represent him.

Cohen directly addressed the fabricated pictures while discussing the public reaction to them.

"It's AI! That is not me. Do you think that I'm going to wear a micro bikini with no genitalia whatsoever?

Who do you think I am? You've seen me in swim trunks. I don't wear Speedos," Cohen said.

Fallon responded by presenting an older photograph of Cohen wearing a Speedo while mowing his lawn. The image provided a real-life counterpoint to Cohen's denial of the newer viral pictures and added humor to the segment.

The appearance came during a busy year for Cohen, who has continued his work across television and radio. Out.com reported that he is marking 20 years of The Real Housewives franchise on Bravo and continues to host Watch What Happens Live, while also interviewing celebrities on his SiriusXM radio show.

The host has also confirmed a new relationship, according to Out.com, adding a personal milestone to his professional activities.

The October 19 episode was the 2,355th installment of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, according to BroadwayWorld. The program featured actor Chris Pratt, Cohen and comedian Joanne McNally.

During his segment, Cohen also discussed John Mayer's Raya profile picture, which was taken at Cohen's baby shower. Pratt discussed how his nickname, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., nearly became his real name, while McNally performed stand-up comedy covering egg loss and breakups with bald men.

BroadwayWorld reported that the episode was taped before a live audience at Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City. The program airs Monday through Friday from 11:35 p.m. to 12:35 a.m. ET/PT on NBC and is available on demand through Peacock.
