This week, it was a surprise celebrity cameo that got the world talking, as episode nine saw an onscreen appearance from Andy Cohen.

The 57-year-old talk show host appeared in the sitcom as Daniel, a shoe salesman at Bergdorf’s. But Sex and the City viewers were quick to note the special meaning behind the cameo, with Cohen being a very close friend of Sarah Jessica Parker.

In fact, it is not even Cohen's first appearance as Daniel, making a cameo as the very same character in Sex and the City's fourth season.

"Andy Cohen: king of Bravo, keeper of Carrie’s Manolos," And Just Like That creators posted to Instagram, with followers commenting in their hundreds.

"I SCREAMED WHEN HE APPEARED!! one of the best episodes ❤️," commented one viewer, while another posted: "The episode we've ALL been waiting for! ✨️"

Cohen also took to Instagram to commemorate the moment, posting a carousel of photographs of the pair filming together decades apart.

"How it went… how it’s going!," he captioned the sweet post. "Thank you Michael Patrick King for bringing back the BELOVED character of “Barney’s Shoe Salesman”… who is now a Bergdorf’s Shoe salesman named DANIEL! #SATC #AJLT."

Well, this is lovely.
