ABC has set a February 18, 2024 premiere date for What Would You Do? season 16. ABC News’ John Quiñones will return as host, with Sara Haines and W. Kamau Bell joining the series as guest correspondents.
“The staying power of What Would You Do? can be summed up simply: it is the search for the hero inside all of us,” stated David Sloan, senior executive producer. “For nearly two decades, John Quiñones has artfully gone on this search to see who steps up and who steps away when ordinary people are confronted with an ethical dilemma. It’s about pure intentions that spark thoughtful conversations and make for provocative and compelling television.”
New season 16 episodes will air on Sundays at 10pm ET/PT.
“In the season premiere, bystanders grapple with a schoolteacher’s side hustle on an adult-content site, objections to immigrants applying for work at a local coffee shop, a deli staffer dealing with a rude customer, breastfeeding in public and a man bothering a woman at the gym while working out,” reads ABC’s synopsis. “What Would You Do? reveals how people behave when they think no one is watching by using hidden cameras to record real reactions to thought-provoking scenarios. The program brings audiences together, providing them with hope by showcasing the kindness of strangers.”
