By Natan Edelsburg 

As SXSW grows, TV is right there to help it mature. Bravo’s Andy Cohen (who we interviewed in July) brought his hit show, Watch What Happens Live down to Austin in honor of the festival. We attended last night’s show with guests Nev SchulmanIan Somerhalder and Paul Qui. Here’s what happened live.

SXSWi is known for the influential audience that popularized Twitter, Foursquare and more. This year, the fact that Andy brought his show down south was one of the hottest things to try to get into. Compared to his tiny set in Soho, the production set right outside downtown audience fit over 100 people and included a house band, the talented The Mowglis. Here’s a clip from the show.
