Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper’s New Year’s Eve 2024: What You Need to Know
The end of the year will bring another late holiday treat at Bravo’s Andy Cohen and CNNs Anderson Cooper join forces for a manic countdown to 2024.
The IRL friends have hosted CNNs New Year’s Eve live the past seven years have been special together and have certainly brought joy to the small screen – and a dash of controversy.
The 2023 broadcast was a sober affair after Cohen, 55, went on a drunken rant about the former New York City mayor a year earlier Bill DeBlasio. Cooper, 56, tried to restrain Cohen at the time, but the network subsequently banned the dynamic duo from drinking on air.
With another live special on the horizon, Cohen is hopeful that he and Cooper will celebrate the new year with libations in hand. “People want to see me make Anderson laugh, and they like to see him take pictures,” Cohen says said up the December 13 episode of The Howard Stern Show.
Regardless of how tipsy they’ll be, the pair is excited to bring their antics back. “There’s no one I’d rather spend New Year’s Eve with and nowhere I’d rather be at midnight than New York’s Times Square!” Cooper teased in a press release.
