Overview

The show features Bravo's own reality programming in the manner of an aftershow and popular culture news. The show's title was inspired by the network's then-slogan, "Watch what happens." [2]

The show is produced live from New York City, allowing interaction with viewers by phone and social media. [3]

In November 2013, Bravo renewed the show for two additional seasons. [4]

On March 2, 2016, the show aired its 1,000th episode. [5]

The show celebrated its ten-year milestone in June 2019 with Luann de Lesseps, John Mayer and Chrissy Teigen making appearances. [6]

On March 13, 2020, the show suspended production due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Andy Cohen himself tested positive for the virus. The show had been produced from Cohen's apartment starting in March. [7] The show returned to its Manhattan studio on October 11, 2020. [8]

On January 19, 2022, Bravo renewed the show through 2023, which marked the show’s 15th year on air. [9] [10]

Unlike other late-night shows, audience tickets are not widely publicly available. As of 2024, many episodes are no longer broadcast live. [11]
