Instead of our normal #WWHL introduction tonight Andy gives us a mix of "Taken"& a SNL type of intro. (Watch the clip here)
Andy Welcomes Liam Neeson & John Benjamin Hickey to the Watch What Happens Live Clubhouse.
Liam thought Andy was a very good actor during his skit. John Benjamin Hickey says he normally coaches Andy before an acting role, to put it simply John thought Andy's performance stunk.
Bartenders: Two models from Thomas Knights’ new book RED HOT 100, Seth Fornea & Brandon Connelly!
Drinking Game Alert: Hickey
Poll Question: No poll question for this episode because it was previously recorded
Here's What:
1) Andy plays a little game called a "Quickie with Hickey!"
Andy gives John celebrity names and John must say the first thing that comes to his mind.
John Travolta, most generous person ever!
Nene Leaks, Imperious.
Anna Kendrick, talented.
Gabby, Love.
Nathan Lane, genius.
John Slattery, sex on a stick.
Marissa Tomei, sex on a stick. She's still so hot, still so hot.
Whoppi Goldberg, fully evolved.
2) Andy plays a game with Liam called Midler's list. Liam must guess if things that Andy gives him is part of Bette Midler's Twitter rants. William does fairly well playing the game.
3) Andy invites Liam and John to play a throwback Thursday edition of clubhouse Playhouse. Liam plays the role of Nene and John plays the role of Kim. They reenact the phone call that took place onWatch What Happens Live when Nene tells Kim to close her legs to married men, trashbox. (this was an outstanding performance by Liam and John) click this link to watch it. I guarantee you'll laugh your socks off.
John cannot tell us a damn thing about Pitch Perfect 2, except for that he's not in it.
Liam has not been called to reprise his role in the next Star Wars movie.
John was asked to tell us one thing that he learned from Natasha Richardson when they were in a Broadway play together. John said he learned everything from her. You learn discipline, hard work, generosity and love. It was the greatest time.
Andy asks if that's when he met Liam for the first time? It was the first time he met him. They were instantly friends and John had told Liam that he met someone who he'd be friends with for the rest of his life. (So sweet)
GIF of the Night: No GIF of the night tonight either.

Lisa from Maryland asked Liam since he's dated Helen Mirren and Barbra Streisand which one of them has the biggest freak factor?
Liam never dated Barbra Streisand. They were pals but he did date Helen Mirren.
Erica from Virginia asked John if he was satisfied with the conclusion of the big C?
He was absolutely satisfied with it. They had the courage to take it to it's inevitable end.
Chassidy from Virginia asked Liam if he ever thought about doing a full frontal nude scene? Liam would do it, just for Chassidy. 😂
Game Time! Andy plays with Liam and John, Fun with He-Liam! Liam takes a hit of the helium filled balloon and says an iconic line from a movie and John must guess what movie it's from. This game was too hysterical to describe. You have to watch it. (Click here to watch the game)
Plug Alert: for playing Liam and John both win Mazel Hoodies. Available on ShopByBravo.com
A question for Liam comes in, are you yeah or nay for Scottish independence? He's a big no for it, they should stay with the union. It's 370 years old it works incredibly well.
Danielle from New Jersey asked John what he thinks about the Normal Heart being shut out at the Emmys and if he was actually asked to reprise the role in the film version?
John says the Normal Heart wasn't shut out and actually won an award at the Emmys. People won't remember what movie won an award to remember how wonderful that movie was. John won a Tony for his performance on stage.
John's most embarrassing moment onstage was his first play where he had to do full frontal nudity and his mother was in the third row opening night. 😁
Mazel of the Day: Goes to this Iyanla fix my life clip. Moral of the story, women don't let a penis penetrate your friendship! Penis!
Jackhole of the Day: Goes to a skunk who got his head stuck in a beer can at a frat house in Ohio.

Don't forget kids Sunday nights watch what happens live will be at a special time at 9 PM with Melissa and Joe Gorga.
AfterShow:
Tonya from California asked Liam Neeson if he would ever consider doing a TV series?
The small screen is attractive to Liam. Liam actually shot a scene for the big C and he was very nervous.
Jason P sent in a Facebook question asking Liam if he could kill ISIS for us?
Andy thinks that would be a good movie Liam takes on ISIS.
Katie from Maine asks John what his very first impression of Andy Cohen was?
He had a very, very long ponytail. A nice Jewish boy with a long ponytail is just irresistible and he was wearing short shorts and rollerblades he looked like Heather Graham in boogie nights. John instantly fell in love with him.
Paula B asked if Liam cried when he read the script for love actually. Liam didn't cry he laughed. It was a very, very good script.
Kristen asked John what it was like to work on Judy Garland's Me and My Shadow?
He worked with a great Australian actress named Judy Davis. It was a brilliant movie.
Andy thanks John and Leanne for coming and the Gingy's behind the bar, then bids us a good night.
Tonight was so much fun, game time was off the hook, Andy opening the show with the special homage to Taken was priceless and of course the Gingy's behind the bar made for great eye candy. What did you think of the show? Tweet me and let me know.
