Andy Cohen burnt his hand during Wednesday night's episode of Watch What Happens Live. But the episode resumed, nonetheless, as he iced his hand. When the series returned from commercial break, Cohen, 54, told viewers he grabbed a curling iron backstage and ended up with a painful burn. "Welcome back to Watch What Happens Live," Cohen said to reintroduce the series.

At the time, Cohen also tweeted: "That hurt." Later during the episode, the control room relayed a message to Cohen from concerned fans — that ice isn't the best remedy for burns. "Okay, well then I'll take it off," he said, placing the ice beside him. "Can someone bring me what is good for burns?"
