Okay, but can we talk about that wild moment in last night’s episode of And Just Like That? 🎉 Yep, that was Andy Cohen stepping in as a shoe salesman trying to sell shoes to none other than Carrie Bradshaw! But hold up—before you think it’s just a quirky cameo, there’s a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Let’s dive into how this seemingly random appearance ties into the rich tapestry of Sex and the City lore and why it’s such a big deal.
Andy Cohen: The Shoe Salesman Connection
In the July 24 episode titled “Present Tense,” Andy pops up as a shoe salesman named Daniel, and it seems he’s got a history with our girl Carrie. “Hey Carrie! I am slammed, but I’m going to be right with you,” he juggles a mountain of shoe boxes. And Carrie, caught up in her usual drama with Aiden, replies, “Oh, thanks. I’m just looking today, Daniel.” Talk about iconic moments! 😍
If this cameo felt random to you, let’s rewind a bit. Sure, Andy and Sarah Jessica Parker are tight friends, and yes, he could’ve easily played himself (he’s done it before). But this is more than a simple celebrity appearance; it’s a nod to the legacy of Sex and the City itself. Who else noticed how these connections add depth to the show? 💖
A Blast from the Past
Did you know that Andy first brought the character of Daniel to life way back in 2004? He was just a glorified extra in the episode “Let There Be Light,” but that tiny role has stuck with fans for years. I mean, how many of us love spotting those little connections during rewatch marathons? 😂
Andy even joked about his character’s journey on Instagram, thanking the showrunner Michael Patrick King for reviving “the BELOVED character of ‘Barney’s Shoe Salesman’… who is now a Bergdorf’s Shoe salesman named DANIEL!” Like, wow, a promotion after 20 years? That’s some serious dedication! 💪
Connecting the Dots
Now that Daniel the shoe salesman has a name and a backstory, it raises a question: Could he also be the unnamed shirtless guy from that gay bar back in the day? This revelation adds a fun layer to his character. Who else thinks we need a backstory episode to explore these connections? 🤔✨
In a city as vibrant as New York, it’s fascinating to see how characters overlap and evolve, especially when beloved figures like Andy Cohen get involved. The intertwining of narratives keeps the magic of Sex and the City alive, even in its newer adaptations. So tell me, what are your thoughts? Do you love these connections as much as I do?
