About Last Night is an American television game show hosted by Stephen and Ayesha Curry that premiered on HBO Max on February 10, 2022. This was in fact a remake of the classic '70s and '80s game show Tattletales which in turn was a remake of the '60s game show He Said, She Said . [3]

Inspired by the '70s and '80s game show Tattletales which in turn was a remake of the '60s game show He Said, She Said , [1] the series features celebrity couples answering embarrassing, raunchy, or otherwise humorous questions about their partners and their relationships to determine which couple knows each other best. [2] Each couple plays to win $20,000 for a charity of their choosing. After the main rounds, the winning couple faces off against the Currys in a fast-paced final challenge. If the competing couple wins, an extra $5,000 goes to their charity (for a total of $25,000); [4] if they lose to the hosts, every competing couple receives money for their chosen charities.

About Last Night was among the thirty-six [5] titles cancelled and/or removed from HBO Max as part of cost-saving measures [6] related to its merger with Discovery+ and overall restructuring process. [7]
