Andy Cohen jokingly called Al Roker a “jackhole” on “Watch What Happens Live” on Wednesday. The reason? Hours earlier, the Bravo executive producer, 55, was grilled by Roker, 69, on the “Today” show about being scammed by hackers. “Today’s ‘Jackhole’ goes to Al Roker for being a troublemaker this morning on the ‘Today Show’ and asking this question after my segment about being scammed by hackers,” Cohen said on “WWHL.” During his “Today” interview with Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, Cohen recounted how, after losing his bank card, he received an e mail that appeared to be from his bank’s fraud alert system.
When he logged in, it allowed scammer access to his bank account. Cohen tried to log out, but the damage was done — and, he said, multiple “sizable wire transfers” were initiated from his account because he had also inadvertently given the hackers his phone number, allowing them to make the wire transactions.
Roker turned to Cohen and asked if he might have been scammed by “one of the Housewives,” alluding to Cohen’s association with the “Real Housewives” franchise, whose cast members are frequent guests on “What What Happens Live.” Cohen appeared flustered by Roker’s question as Guthrie asked him “Who is the most likely?” to have scammed him.
“You know — well, there is someone most likely,” Cohen replied on “Today.” “We’ll talk about that later. I’ll explain.” Roker then shrugged his shoulders and arched his eyebrows — while Cohen told him he was “a smart man.” Cohen told the “Today” hosts he filed a report with the NYPD’s cybersecurity unit but was told “when money is wired out of your account, it’s gone.” “Trust no one who calls you,” he said.
“Don’t get sucked into the urgent moment of it.” Cohen wouldn’t let it go, and said on “WWHL”: “Oh my God, Al, how could you?” “That was basically the ‘Today’ show’s version of this,” he said, before showing a clip of “Real Housewives of Miami” star Marysol Patton’s friend asking the cast, “Who here to you trust the least?”.
