He explained that show’s fast paced nature and the unpredictability of live TV is what makes the show work.
The TV host added: ‘When I got off the air (after Debra Winger), I had planned on going home, but I thought, “Oh man, I need to stay and have a drink or five with my team”.’
Andy revealed his best guest was musical theatre legend Patti LuPone, who called Madonna a ‘movie killer’ on his show in 2017.
He said of the Broadway star: ‘She’s a great one, always a classic. She’s at a point in her life where she just doesn’t care, and that’s a wonderful place to be.’
