to Mark the Anniversary Milestone
NEW YORK - June 4, 2024 - Mazel! Bravo's talk series that reinvented the late-night wheel is celebrating 15 years of capturing hearts and commanding headlines with a "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" primetime special on Sunday, June 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The special will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
After a storied television career behind-the-scenes, Andy Cohen took a bold, unexpected on-camera leap in 2009 to debut the new weekly Bravo late-night show as both host and executive producer. Cohen's gregarious yet freewheeling charisma instantly resonated with viewers, quickly taking "Watch What Happens Live" to a twice-weekly format and, in 2012, expanding to five nights a week. Cohen made history as the first gay late-night host and is now starkly known for bringing an unconventional, fearless and refreshing approach to the landscape.
"15 is my new lucky number!" said Cohen. "I can't wait to celebrate the 'WWHL' legacy. Thank you to Bravo for always having faith in our little late-night show that could - allowing me to 'go there,' play ridiculous games, host incredible guests and generate endless watercooler talk. This is my dream job, and I hope I never wake up."
To honor the unprecedented impact Cohen and 'WWHL' have made on pop culture, tune in all month long for a countdown of favorite memories from the past 15 years, culminating with the most epic late-night party that can only happen in the Clubhouse. The anniversary special will feature hilarious hijinks, unpredictable surprises and a jam-packed lineup of celebrity and Bravolebrity guests. What could we possibly come up with next? You'll have to watch what happens.
For the third consecutive year, "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" had the highest reach of any late-night cable entertainment talk show in in the 18-49 demo, with ultimately 13.9 million total viewers watching in 2023. The series also boasted year-over-year ratings growth among total viewers and 25-54 demo, making it the highest-rated late-night talk show on ad-supported cable among 18-49 in 2023.
Recently renewed through 2025, "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" is the only live, interactive show in late-night television and consistently transcends the cultural zeitgeist with bold conversations viewers don't see anywhere else. Airing Sunday through Thursday nights on Bravo, all episodes are also available to stream next day on Peacock.
"Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" is produced by Embassy Row with Michael Davies, Deirdre Connolly, John Jude Schultz and Andy Cohen serving as executive producers.
