Bravo's Andy Cohen recently hosted his dear friend Anderson Cooper on his nightly talk show Watch What Happens Live, and things quickly got messy in the best possible way.
During a question and answer game with CBS journalist Gayle King, the three got into some fairly revealing discussions about Cooper's love life, one of which left him doing an on-air spit take.

The game involved a Wheel of Fortune-style wheel that, when spun, would land on a very personal question for each guest that focused on dealbreakers in relationships.
Cohen, King and Cooper did not hold back. Well, Cohen and King didn't anyway. Cooper tried to play it cagey. Asked if he would ever tolerate being asked to make a sex tape, Cooper replied in the negative.
Ditto for someone who "asks to bring a third into the bedroom." But Cohen wasn't buying that one, prodding Cooper before finally conceding that he "forgot we're on TV" as if Cooper were fibbing to save face about his threesome-related history.
It only escalated from there. After asking about Cooper's thoughts on age gaps, baby talk, and who should pay the bill on a dinner date, Cohen then queried Cooper about his interest in "heavy nipple play," sending him into a fit of giggles.
Once Cohen and Cooper were done bantering, a follow-up question from King finally did Cooper in.
King asked to go back to a previous topic, quipping suggestively:
“Can I ask how you know that Anderson is open to threesomes in the bedroom?”
King timed her question at precisely the moment Cooper had taken a sip of his drink, which he immediately spit out in classic style.
Of course, fans loved this moment between Cooper and King, and had plenty of euphemistic jokes to crack about it on social media.
Perhaps Cooper and Cohen will revisit these hot-button topics on their annual New Year's Eve coverage on CNN, which they've announced they'll be hosting again this year.
