Everyone's favorite network kingpin Andy Cohen is tripping the light fantastic at SXSW.

The cheerful executive always puts himself smack dab in the middle of potentially explosive situations with his "Real Housewives" franchise stars. It's amazing he hasn't caught flying stiletto shrapnel in some of his more contentious televised showdowns.

Cohen celebrated with cast the world premier of "Hey Bartender" with a Reyka Vodka Farmer's Market cocktail at the William Grant & Sons SXSW after party.

Premiering last night at SXSW, "Hey Bartender" - a documentary from 4th Row Films tells the journey of becoming a bartender in the era of the craft cocktail culture and is intertwined with informative and intimate interviews from some of the most famous bartenders and industry leaders in the world.
