Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen's 15th anniversary special featured iconic Bravoleb appearances, several surprises, and of course, a nostalgic look back at all of the show's legendary moments from over the years. The fun is far from over, though, because The Daily Dish is taking you behind the scenes of the special taping.
That's right — you can get an inside look at all of the backstage fun had by Andy Cohen and his all-star lineup of WWHL primetime special guests, including The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Porsha Williams; Married to Medicine's Phaedra Parks; The Real Housewives of New York City's Luann De Lesseps and Sonja Morgan; The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giudice and her daughter Milania Giudice; Flipping Out's Jeff Lewis; Dwight Eubanks, Jerry O'Connell, and the ultimate VIPs: Andy's parents, Evelyn Cohen and Lou Cohen.
Meet and Greets with Milania's Mini Horses
ICYMI, Milania recreated the unforgettable WWHL Season 9 moment when Teresa gave Andy the birthday surprise of a lifetime: a then-7-year-old Milania in a princess costume delivering a miniature horse (dressed up as a unicorn!) to the Bravo Clubhouse.
Backstage during the anniversary taping, several attendees posed for photos with the pony who made its WWHL debut, as well as the pony's companion. Andy's own kids, 2-year-old Lucy and 5-year-old Benjamin, paid a visit to the Clubhouse and got to meet the mini horses as well.
In addition to recreating the special birthday moment with Teresa and Milania, Andy posed with the mother-daughter duo backstage.
Lots of Backstage Catch-Ups
Speaking of school — the taping turned out to be similar to that of a high school reunion for many of the attendees. Andy made sure to catch up with each Bravoleb as they arrived, and soon, everyone was mingling and sharing the latest on their lives.
Conversations with Andy’s parents were without a doubt the most sought after, although Sonja joked that she was Lou’s “favorite.”
Last-Minute Touch-Ups Before Andy's Grand Entrance
Andy and a few of his guests attended to their makeup one last time before filming kicked off. Then, when it came time to take the stage, Andy was greeted to a big applause from those in the audience at the Bravo Clubhouse.
Portraits
Andy and his WWHL guests kept lining up throughout the night to have their portrait taken and pose with one another in group shots.
Even those who didn't make an on-camera appearance joined in on the portrait fun, including Teresa's husband, Luis "Louie" Ruelas.
