Cohen, 53, shared the news on his Instagram, writing, “I got a STAR!!! And I’m gonna be floating from today for a long time. Thank you John, Garcelle & Lisa for helping make today incredibly special.”
The “Watch What Happens Live” host’s son Benjamin, who was celebrating his third birthday on the same day, was also present at the ceremony. Andy kicked off his speech by telling viewers a “drinking word” for his remarks, “dream,” and then said the word several times afterward:

John Mayer Roasted the Housewives in His Speech During the Ceremony
Cohen’s good friend Mayer had some touching words for the honoree during his speech, telling the crowd that Cohen brings “a much-needed ray of sunshine into our lives.” However, the musician also added some humor to his remarks and said he watched every “Housewives” franchise to prepare for that moment.
.@JohnMayer says he watched every “Housewives” franchise to prepare for @Andy Cohen’s Walk of Fame star ceremony: “He’s got the charm of Karen Huger, the depth of Kandi Burruss, and he can party like Vicki Gunvalson in Mexico.” t.co/nlLmweaxhA
“He’s got the charm of Karen Huger, the depth of Kandi Buruss, and he can party like Vicki Gunvalson in Mexico,” Mayer joked. He also dragged “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s” Lisa Barlow in another comment, saying:
There are times in life when you just need a friend you can count on. For example, when Homeland Security shows up to the Beauty Lab and Laser parking lot and your friend’s life is suddenly in shambles, will you be a Heather Gay or a Lisa Barlow? Andy is forever a Heather Gay.
Mayer was referring to a scene from RHOSLC’s second season, when Homeland Security showed up and arrested star Jen Shah, charging her with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. Afterward, while Gay showed her support for her co-star, Barlow consulted with her lawyers before deciding if she’d proceed with a friendship. Here is that clip:

In addition to Mayer’s speech, RHOBH stars Rinna and Beauvais spoke about Cohen’s induction into the Walk of Fame. The two gushed about the executive producer and talk show host, with Beauvais joking that they weren’t only complimenting him because he’s their boss. Those comments can be viewed here:
