Andy Cohen Confirms Major Update on Drinking During NYE Broadcast With Anderson Cooper – E! Online

Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper won’t be popping champagne when the clock strikes midnight.

They may be aiming for something even stronger. Andy confirmed that when the duo host CNN’s annual New Year’s Eve on Dec. 31, they not only will be allowed to drink on camera, but he teased he and his cohost are in for a boozy night.  

“Yes! You bet,” the Watch What Happens Live host told Variety in an interview published Oct. 20. “After what Anderson did in that hurricane, I’m not only giving him tequila, I’m throwing it at him.”

Indeed, after the veteran news anchor endured being struck by debris while covering Hurricane Milton in Brandenton, Fla, in early October, many fans were calling on CNN to give the all-clear for Anderson (and Andy) to let loose as they usher in 2025.

“We need @AndersonCooper and @BravoAndy to host NYE. Please get this national treasure under cover,” one fan wrote on their Instagram Story, which Andy reposted on his account and added, “Agree.”
