It’s Official! News Years Eve Is Ruined!

October 11, 2017 by tamaratattles 51 Comments

Remember how glad we were last January to be well and truly done with 2016? 2017 had to be better, right? Not so much.  It’s been a brutal year for natural disasters and our president seems to have an itching finger on the nuclear button. But soon it will be the holidays. And then we can ring in 2018 with Anderson Cooper!  I’ll miss Kathy Griffin, but I agreed she had to be fired. But it will still be fun, right?

Wrong. Here is the press release for this year’s NYE celebration.

For the first time, Anderson Cooper will co-host CNN’s New Year’s Eve celebration with Bravo’s Watch What Happens Livewith Andy Cohen host and executive producer Andy Cohen, live from Times Square in New York City.  These long-time friends, one from television news and the other from late night, will ring in the New Year on CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen” on Sunday, December 31st.

“Andy is the life of the party wherever he goes, and what bigger party is there than New Year’s Eve?  It is going to be a blast!” said Cooper.

Said Cohen, “I’ve been friends with Anderson for twenty-five years. We’ve travelled the world together and performed in 30 plus cities with “AC2″ and it’s all led to this one huge night!”

Now in its 11th year, CNN’s New Year’s Eve show is a global celebration featuring contributions from CNN correspondents across the country and around the world.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

      So let’s all forgive Kathy for her bad judgement and move on! The alternative is just so unpleasant.

            I’m with you. Andy makes Anderson take a shot of liquor before AC2. They make sure every venue serves alcohol too :).

            I’ve listened to their radio series of them on the road together. I, as an avid Radio Andy listener, am pleased with this announcement.

    I cannot express in one mere evening how many horrible ways this is wrong. For sure I am terrified of what is to come in 2018.

    uggh…way to start a new year! Boy I remember watching Dick Clark’s Rockin new years Eve…celebs dancing and major rock bands performing..shades of Dick Clarks American Bandstand!

    I always felt like a grown up watching Dick Clarks NYE show, wondering who the Guest Celeb would be, fun city, all my family doing the “countdown’ pots in our hands fireworks outside..you get down to “..2,1” we all scream HAPPY NEW YEAR and bang our pots and pans and hug and kiss each other.

    Carry the party to our front porch and scream along with all the other neighbours – lighting firecrackers, drinking pop (never fell asleep til about 3:00), everyone was so happy – no matter what was happening in our world at that time.

    uggh – this will be the first NYE show that I’ve missed in my life! Thanks Andy

    New Year’s has never been my cuppa, but am crushed to learn that Anderson Cooper (ahem: “AC No.1”) and A Cohen are buddies. Maybe AC No. 1 gets a vicarious kick out of hanging with someone who’s unabashedly nasty? In small doses they can be amusing. Still, I dunno. This serves to increase my disenchantment with Cooper. First, he cut off his close, long-term friendship with Kathy Griffin after CNN (rightfully) fired her, for fear that she might lower his own Q-rating. Now, he’s doing press releases to talk up his great bond with Andy Cohen. Oh, world…

    Gag. Figured something was up when Andy showed up on AC 360 comparing housewives to something political. We created the beast now we must destroy. Wait, that sounded menacing, I’ll boycott.

      It was the stupid Ivana/Melania Trump thing. Ivana using White House connections to promote her book. Andy suggested they come on his show and hash it out. Subtle way of shading this presidency. The dumbing down of America continues – sadly.

    I love them together! Anderson makes Andy think and Andy makes Anderson laugh (and giggle, I LOVE it when Anderson giggles)! They have great chemistry and I hope they dont over think things and just play off each other like they usually do.

    When I was going thru chemo one I kept saying all I wanted was to have cocktails with Anderson and Andy preferably in a dive bar or at Andersons house lol. I actually kinda regret not reaching out to them, seriously I should have used the C-card and gotten some fun out of it?

    My initial response was also NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Still, I can’t say I was a huge fan of Kathy’s during the last two or three years – I liked her a lot better before she became really famous – it seemed like she was trying too hard a lot of the time, and definitely pissed of the Politically Correct Police when she held up the fake Trump head . Not a smart thing to do given the guy is now (unfortunately) the President, but I did kind of think she had guts to do that – not smarts, but guts. People who have seen Andy and Anderson together seem to think they’re really funny, and that’s OK if you’re used to Andy’s sometimes “out there” ideas as to what it’s OK to say, and what’s not. We long-time Bravo/WWHL viewers are used to him, and a lot of us can’t stand him, but many of the hugely more Conservative Americans who’ll be watching will probably be turned off, and will quite possibly change channels. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. I’ve been surprised before,

    if I never see or hear about Kathy again, it will be too soon. And Andy has written in his books about his longtime friendship with Anderson. But I can’t believe Anderson is going to risk his national reputation by having Andy as is co-host on NYE. Andy has not an ounce of class.

      Thill, I was thinking the same thing. This could end Cooper’s relationship with Andy just like it did his relationship with Kathy. Neither one should have been allowed to come to his legitimate job with him.

        This is what I meant to say. You just have a much better way with words. Someone needs to save Cooper and get him to rethink this entirely.
