WHHL[edit | edit source]

WHHL (short for What Happened in History Last Night) is a popular late-night talk show that airs on the Bravo network. Hosted by Andy Cohen, the show features celebrity interviews, games, and discussions about current events and pop culture.

History[edit | edit source]

WHHL first premiered on July 16, 2009, and quickly gained a dedicated fan base. The show's format was inspired by Cohen's previous experience as an executive producer for the Real Housewives franchise. Cohen wanted to create a talk show that would provide a more casual and intimate setting for celebrity interviews.

Format[edit | edit source]

Each episode of WHHL typically begins with a monologue by Cohen, where he shares his thoughts on recent news and events. He then welcomes a celebrity guest or a panel of guests to join him on the show. The interviews are often lighthearted and entertaining, with Cohen asking personal and sometimes controversial questions.

One of the most popular segments on WHHL is "Plead the Fifth," where Cohen asks his guests three questions and they can choose to "plead the fifth" and not answer one of them. This segment often leads to revealing and humorous moments.

Impact[edit | edit source]

WHHL has had a significant impact on late-night television. It has become known for its relaxed and unfiltered atmosphere, allowing celebrities to let loose and share candid stories. The show's success has also led to spin-offs, such as Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen: @ Home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reception[edit | edit source]

WHHL has received positive reviews from both critics and viewers. Many praise Cohen's hosting skills and his ability to create an engaging and entertaining atmosphere. The show has also been recognized with several awards, including a Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Talk Show.
