Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Best Week Ever essentially invented the format that would become every Twitter thread and reaction video—complete with rotating 'personalities' competing for punchline dominance.
Paul F. Tompkins' 'Best Week Ever' persona was so beloved that fans demanded he host the 2013 revival, which VH1 briefly considered before going with a rotating panel format that killed the chemistry.
