Ryan Seacrest Says That CNN’S New Year’s Eve Booze Ban Is “Probably A Good Idea”
362 days ago, Andy Cohen got schwasted while hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage. He went off on former New York mayor Bill de Blasio and referred to Ryan Seacrest and his cronies at ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve as “a group of losers.” Whoops! Even though Andy faced some backlash for his drunk-skunk antics, CNN pretty much immediately confirmed that they’d asked him and Anderson Cooper back for NYE 2023. However, last month, the network announced that they wanted their hosts to scale back on the drinking. Well, Ryan Seacrest has added his two cents during an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He says he doesn’t “advocate” booze on the air, and CNN’s plan to scale back is a “good idea.” Ugh, what a LOSER thing to say!
CNN Said They Plan To Scale Back The Drinking During Their New Year’s Eve Coverage, And Andy Cohen Responded
For those of us who refuse to wear clothes with an uncompromising waistband or leave the house past 8 p.m., we look to the TV on New Year’s Eve to watch other, more ambitious fun-havers crammed into the confines of Times Square clad in coats, hats, and adult diapers who’ve stood in the cold for 16 hours in anticipation of a few underwhelming musical guests followed by ten whole seconds of excitement. CNN’s NYE coverage has become the staple for people who love mess and don’t want to sit through Ryan Seacrest and his “group of losers;” with the master of lighting a match and walking away, Andy Cohen, getting lit with his incessantly giggly bestie, Anderson Cooper, while Don Lemon and other correspondents assist in the chaos. Last year, Andy got so rip-roaring ranty and wasted that it was rumored CNN cut him loose. But they didn’t, and he and Anderson will be back this year to host the festivities. And even though CNN says they’ve decided they’re banning booze for the correspondents involved in the coverage, Andy wants everyone to know the new rule doesn’t apply to him or Anderson, so we should expect them to be next-level hammered.
Anderson Cooper And Ex Benjamin Maisani Welcomed Their Second Child
Last night, on Anderson Cooper 360, Anderson Cooper announced the arrival of his second son, Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. Sebastian was born via surrogate and Anderson revealed that he’s co-parenting Sebastian and his eldest son, 22-month-old Wyatt, with his “best friend and former partner,” Benjamin Maisani (they dated from 2009 to around 2017). Anderson says that they are a family, and Benjamin is in the process of officially adopting Wyatt, whose last name will be changed to Maisani-Cooper to match his little brother’s. Anderson adds that Wyatt calls him “Daddy,” Benjamin “Papa,” and honorary uncle Andy Cohen “the sloppy bitch who replaced Kathy Griffin.“
Andy Cohen Was Too Drunk To Remember Dragging Bill De Blasio On CNN’s NYE Show
Andy Cohen let loose and got drunkenly sloppy during his job, co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special with his bestie, Anderson Cooper. During Andy’s drunken good time, he went off on New York City’s exiting mayor Bill de Blasio. CNN stood by Andy and expects to have him back for more NYE messiness, and one person who’s glad about that is Jimmy Kimmel. Andy was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to talk about buying getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and during the chat, Jimmy let Andy know that he thought his rant was the funniest thing ever. We know that Andy stands by his dragging of Bill de Blasio but he reveals to Jimmy that he was so lit that night that he didn’t remember doing it while making his way home.
CNN Says That Andy Cohen Will Be Back To Host Their Next New Year’s Eve Special After It Was Rumored That They Dropped Him
Andy Cohen is a messy Queen; we know this, Bravo execs know this, Danielle Staub knows this. And he delivered the drunken messiness while once again hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve special with his bestie Anderson Cooper. It was rumored that higher-ups at CNN were embarrassed by Andy’s foolery and were not going to invite him to host again. But a CNN rep denied that, saying that they’re fine with Andy and they spoke to him and he’ll be back next year. Yeah, because next year they’re gonna hide the tequila.
A Sloppy Andy Cohen Went Off About Bill De Blasio On CNN’s New Year’s Eve Countdown
This seems like the set-up for a corny call-and-response joke. But hey, if it works it works. In the grand tradition of New Year’s Eve being the messiest bitch of our 365 days around the sun, Andy Cohen and his best pal Anderson Cooper hosted CNN’s New Year’s Eve countdown, and Andy Cohen got progressively drunker as the night went on. This would be where you holler, “How drunk was he!“, and let’s just say he was drunk enough to call out the now-former Mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, live on television, by name, and hiss some fightin’ words at him. Yeah, that’s pretty drunk.
