Anderson and Andy New Year's Eve 2024 on CNN

And special guest star the apple box that Andy stands on to appear the same height as Anderson.

I feel like the Andy/Anderson New Year's Eve show is surpassing the Dick Clark Rockin' New Year's Eve show, in popularity.

It's becoming the premier television event on NYE.

R2. Sure. Whatever you say, Andy/Anderson.

Is John Mayer, Andy's special after the show guest

[quote] Is John Mayer, Andy's special after the show guest

John Mayer is probably Andy's date.

Unofficial, of course.

No Cheri Oteri? Thank God.

I did not know Enrique Iglesias was still alive.

Meanwhile, on ABC:

[quote] ABC and Dick Clark Productions announced its New York lineup for "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024," the nation's most-watched New Year's Eve celebration. Nineteen-time host Ryan Seacrest and his 2024 co-host, Rita Ora, will lead festivities from New York's Times Square, with an all-star lineup of artists: Megan Thee Stallion, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter and Tyla. "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2024" will air Sunday, Dec. 31, live on ABC beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST.

I like Andy and Anderson's guests better.

Isn't ABC aging themselves with continuing to call it Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve? I mean Dick Clark died 11 years ago and had his stroke 19 years ago, move on already.

No Faye Dunaway this year?

I guess it's "tradition," R9.

Maybe they think that Boomers and GenX will relate to the Dick Clark title, rather than "Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' New Year's Eve."

Or maybe Dick Clark had a contract in place to have his name on the title, even after death (until a certain date.)

Andy and Anderson will be unfunny and cringe as usual. Who wants them? No one.

Every year Patti LaBelle appears on this show just to rub her wealth in Dionne's face. She always has a big spread of food in her kitchen on NYE, while poor Dionne is on food stamps.

[quote] Enrique Iglesias, Maroon 5,

Moron 5? Is that Defacto, Teacake, GermanGayGuy, Anscher, and Greg?

You couldn’t pay me.

[quote] Andy and Anderson will be unfunny and cringe as usual. Who wants them? No one.

Bye, haters!

Tiresome Twosome.

^ ^ ^ ^ HATER.

Is Enrique still using that tennis player Anna someone or other as a beard?

Albino and Midget.

Andy and Anderson are going to be having a blast out in Times Square, partying and mingling with celebrities, in the midst of thousands of people.

What will YOU be doing, loser at R20?

Neither one is liked around these parts R21. I'll add you to that list as well.

R7 Yeah; basically Pitbull, Wisin, Yandel and every other latino artist he does collabs with are the ones who save him from starvation.

With special guest appearance by Kathy Griffin

From that list of attendees, it sounds like Pia Zadora, Brendad Ickson, and Dog the Bounty Hunter were smart enough to “lose” their invites…….

But why aren't you going to segue to broadcasting me!???

Poor Don.

He used to love reporting from Key West.

Now he's ... not.

"Is Enrique still using that tennis player Anna someone or other as a beard?"

Good looking, masculine and in LTR with woman = gay on DL

[quote]Ryan Seacrest and his 2024 co-host, Rita Ora, will lead festivities from New York's Times Square, with an all-star lineup of artists: Megan Thee Stallion, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter and Tyla.

They need to stop trying to make Rita Ora happen.

Ditto for Meghan Ther Stallion, Jelly Roll, Sabrina Carpenter, and Tyla.

Rofl R29.

But that's the whole lineup!

No Patti LuPone?

[quote] I did not know Enrique Iglesias was still alive.

Only the facial mole died when it was removed, no Enrique's were harmed in the removal.

Two Twats from TurdTown.

R31 = Patti.

I would love to see her belting her way into the new year.

[quote]Maybe they think that Boomers and GenX will relate to the Dick Clark title, rather than "Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' New Year's Eve."

I don't know. I saw the last couple of Dick Clark appearances and he seemed to be so drunk it was shameful.

The shtick where Andy is an envelope pushing rapscallion to Anderson’s uptight schoolmarm is reductive of the dynamic he had with Kathy… which was so much more believable given she was a battle tested standup comedienne known for her edge. Andy mugs for the camera all night and alternates between butching it up and then queening out depending on the contrivance of the moment. I always root for their show to fail yet it never does. I don’t think Anderson has nearly the fun he had with Kathy.

r36 last year when they banned them from drinking all Andy did was whine about not being able to drink.

So, is CNN going to allow them to drink this year?

R38, Chris Licht is no longer CEO at CNN, and he was the one who enacted the No Drinking rule.

Zero viewers.

Sick of this dumb shit.

Very B - C List.

I watched last year and the fireworks over NYC were tremendous.

[quote] Zero viewers.

YOU.

WISH.

HATER.

[quote] CNN Scores Big New Year’s Eve Win In Cable News Ratings

CNN had a fairly lousy 2022, but the network’s live coverage of New Year’s Eve ended the year with a solid win in the Nielsen ratings, delivering a total audience of 2.1 million viewers between 8 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. ET. New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen easily outdistanced the Fox News Channel, which had a total audience of 1.2 million viewers, followed by MSNBC (a distant third with 194,000 viewers).

CNN’s long-running New Year’s show has traditionally featured news talent like Cooper, Don Lemon and others drinking on air, but the network’s new bosses put an end to that. The on-camera alcohol ban may have taken some of the fun and spontaneity out of the broadcast, but it still was a strong performer ratings-wise. In the key demo of adults 25-54—the demographic group most valued by advertisers—CNN averaged 806,000 viewers, followed by Fox News (159,000 viewers) and MSNBC (37,000 viewers).

CNN’s audience grew as the year rolled into its final hour, with 3.0 million viewers watching between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. ET. Fox News was second with 1.5 million viewers and MSNBC trailed with 169,000 viewers. In the key demo, CNN was first with 1.2 million viewers, followed by Fox News (256,000 viewers) and MSNBC (42,000 viewers).

CNN’s live coverage grew from New Year’s Eve one year ago, up 8% in the key demo, while the holiday coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News all showed year-over-year declines.

After two years of pandemic-impacted celebrations, the Times Square ball drop was back at full capacity, with an estimated crowd of one million people—and a billion watching the scene on live television around the world.

For the entire day, Fox News prevailed on New Year’s Eve, delivering an average audience of 953,000 viewers, just ahead of CNN’s 916,000 viewers and well ahead of MSNBC’s 377,000 viewers.

^ I think the wonky eyed one is trolling on this thread.

You're the only troll R45, denying that Andy and Anderson's NYE show is the highest rated NYE broadcast in the country.

People like you don't like to face the facts.

Andy and Anderson are POPULAR.

Okay. I’ll say it. Give Kathy her own New Years show!

R47 I wonder if HBO or Showtime have thought about that?

Jeremy Renner is going to sing...again?! I thought that snow plow made it clear we do not want to hear his singing.

[quote] John Mayer is probably Andy's date.

Mayer is exactly the kind of straight narcissist who would have an adoring queen around at all times just to gas him up.

And special guest star the apple box that Andy stands on to lick peanut butter out of Anderson’s asshole.

[quote] Isn't ABC aging themselves with continuing to call it Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve? I mean Dick Clark died 11 years ago and had his stroke 19 years ago, move on already.

"Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' Eve" was focus group tested and came up too gay and pedstrian .

Past it.

Anderson and Andy? Bring back Guy Lombardo!

[quote] "Ryan Seacrest's Rockin' Eve" was focus group tested and came up too gay and pedstrian

Why does ABC have to name their New Year show after anyone, ABC's Rockin' New Year's Eve sounds just fine. Ryan Seacrest isn't going to pass up a chance to be on TV just because the show isn't named after him.

[quote]Andy and Anderson's NYE show is the highest rated NYE broadcast in the country.

Ryan Seacrest's NYE show does much better in the ratings. I prefer CNN, but Ryan beats them handily.

^^^ he's network, they're cable. No surprise there.

Their musical guest are just simulcast. They are not on CNN they are performing on the Planet FiSTness stage in Times Sq -

[quote] They are not on CNN they are performing on the Planet FiSTness stage in Times Sq -

I'm surprised they didn't invite fisting tit pig Steve Grand to "perform."

How do I get invited to this event?

MSNBC isn't even trying to do anything for New Year's Eve 10PM to midnight they are showing a repeat of To End All War:Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb. according to my cable listings.

Remember when Gus Kenworthy was flirting with Anderson and Anderson got all weird and awkward.

CNN's NYE show was miles better with Kathy.

"How do I get invited to this event?"

Are you under 30, stacked, white and on Prep?

Oh god is it time for this AGAIN???

R64 = Ryan Seacrest.

Does anyone really believe Anderson and Benjamin are living under the same roof platonically?

Yawn.

Hi, Hater at R67!

Flo Rida? Huge get!

Gay alert! Will Jer Renner hook up with NPH?

[quote] Gay alert! Will Jer Renner hook up with NPH?

Jeremy Renner is into Thai Tranny LadyBoys.

Look awful

I hope that someone trips Cohen. I despise him.

^ He's so close to the ground anyway.

Anus n Andy

Happy New Year!!!!

What time does the shit-show start?

[quote] You're the only troll [R45], denying that Andy and Anderson's NYE show is the highest rated NYE broadcast in the country.

It’s not.

Cable noise will never have the ratings the big four networks get: CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox. CNN is a failed network on its last leg.

Any criticism of CNN just means that you bitches are in your silo.

Drunk and sloppy Don Lemon was the only reason to ever watch this shitshow.

Hi HATERRRZZZ R78, R79, and R81!!!!

Enjoy watching me and Anderson party our asses off in the biggest NYE event in NYC, and surrounded by celebs.

While you..... watch me from Flyover Land.

Byeeeeeee!!!!

I need TEQUILA!

On another note, I was watching CNN International's coverage of Abu Dabhi's fireworks show and out of the blue the fucking presenter and her guests were talking about fucking Taylor Swift. I had tu mute it.

[quote]I need TEQUILA!

What you need is to stop posting and get a life.

[quote] What you need is to stop posting and get a life.

Says the poster who stalks and follows around the poster with "no life."

If R83 has no life, then what does that make you R85?

PATHETIC. That's what.

I don't think their guest list is mid enough.

Kathy Griffin should get on YouTube live tonight at 11:00pm tonight and just hang out with fans. I miss her on New Years. I saw on X that she was hanging out at Jane Fonda’s. How fun would Kathy and Jane be for even just 30 minutes.

[quote] presenter and her guests were talking about fucking Taylor Swift.

I thought homosexuality was frowned upon in Dubai.

HI r82 Adny was stripped of the @BravoAndy title years ago when he was "let go" from Bravo as an executive. He is just @Andy now. Still paying for his Check too.

Is that 1980-style ski jacket of Andy’s all ski jacket, or mostly Andy??

Is this going to be four hours of them talking about their kids?

Did Anderson refer to Ben as his partner? I thought he’d said a couple of years ago Ben just moved back so they could help each other with the kids’ parenting, but no relationship between them anymore (?)—oops!

Is Anderson Cooper a nepo? Seems like it.

"Cooper's media experience began early. As a baby, he was photographed by Diane Arbus for Harper's Bazaar. At the age of three, Cooper was a guest on The Tonight Show on September 17, 1970, appearing with his mother. At the age of nine, he appeared on To Tell the Truth as an impostor. From age 10 to 13, Cooper modeled with Ford Models for Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Macy's."

Good job descending those stairs, Patti!

anyone have a free livestream link?

Andy has recovered from that bout of Shigella quite well.

Richard Quest looks like he got bukaked by the smurfs.

Who the hell is Miranda Lambert?? That was AWFUL -- she was bellowing out of tune like a Chardonnay-tanked soccer grandma at a stampede.

Miranda is a great singer and songwriter

She performed Little Red Wagon much better years ago on the Grammys

I'll take your word for it!

[quote] MSNBC isn't even trying to do anything for New Year's Eve 10PM to midnight they are showing a repeat of To End All War:Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb. according to my cable listings.

Even the new cable news channel "NewsMax" is doing a New Year's Eve show.

I'll bet they would bring in the ratings if they put Chris Cuomo on-air shirtless!

Wow, Jeremy Renner looks great.

Especially considering that he nearly died one year ago.

Did someone seriously ask if the son of Gloria Vanderbilt is a nepo baby??

Cohen is one of the most repulsive people in the media. What he has foisted on the public is beyond vulgar.

I'm shocked that CNN showed the gay boys kissing at midnight.

They were the first couple shown kissing, and it was a LONG kiss. Lol.

I wonder how many people tuned out at that point?

Why would they tune out if they’ve been watching this whole show?

I was never into John Mayer, but he turned out to be quite a highlight. And quite funny. Poor Boris tried hard but..... And I won't even get into the Key West stringer with the sparkly hot pants. Finally.... Is Richard Quest ever on CNN aside from NYE?

[quote]Anderson and Andy

CUNTS

r102 You're confused and drunk, hon. Newsmax and NewsNation are two entirely different cable news channels. Chris Cuomo works for NewsNation.

no r96 you were shit out of luck.

[Quote]Cable noise will never have the ratings the big four networks get: CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox. CNN is a failed network on its last leg.

Hi, Don Lemon. Have a little too much to drink?

Andy got possessed by the ghost of Mrs slocombe at one point. Acting like 14 year olds, Anderson was goooone

Anderson was ghostly white, more so than usual. Cohen has on a TON of HD makeup up lol. Cooper showed Cohen's try-hard outfit from the Jingle Ball and Cohen went off shouting out that the shirt was some Label name and he was just "trying" a half tuck. You could tell he was pissed at Cooper showing how ridiculous he looked. Then Cohen changed the subject quickly to the bottle of vodka he brought because "daddy needs his juice." Jesus even Cooper groaned at that.

We switched back and forth between CNN’s and ABC’s shows. My husband had had enough of A&A’s cringey interviewing style and I was starting to get ticked off that most of the concert cutaways were recorded from months ago, and don’t get me started on Patti saying she “cooked all this myself!”… sure Jan!

So we flip to ABC’s opening number which was setting up some Puerto Rican Ivy cunt who only spoke English to say “you know what I mean?” Hard Pass. But wait, there’s more! Now there’s a 400lb tub of lard (420lb if you include all the ink from his prison tattoos) Jelly Rolling around the stage singing some redneck, MAGA anthem.

In the end we watched more of CNN, taped performances be damned, and I became somewhat grateful for John Mayer and Bowen Yang being the bright moments of the evening.

Then I spent the rest of the night wondering when I became such a cynical asshole.

I watched Megan Thee Stallion and she looked so bored and barely put any effort into her lip syncing. I thought, bitch, get off the stage.

Was the cat bar really that funny Anderson? He came off as a weirdo laughing hysterically at that.

I loved their shout-out to Janet's Damita Jo album.

It wasn’t the cat bar, per se, but rather that a cat’s ass was in almost every shot as they talked to John Mayer.

Now I can only imagine Anderson giggling each time Ben M. presents hole.

R117 doesn’t know AC very well. Sad ass.

I hate the whole thing - the massive crowd outfitted in those stupid Planet Fitness hats and adult diapers; the ceremonial singing of "Imagine" (this year by an ossified Paul Anka!); the anticlimactic ball drop; the way the camera finds the same straight couple slobbering each other faces at midnight; the 15 seconds of "Auld Lang Syne" that segues right into the hideous/truncated Sinatra version of "New York, New York" ("Ayy number ONE...") the cringey Louis Armstrong version of "What A Wonderful World"... it blows CHUNKS!!

Paul Anka made me sad. The "special lyrics" on My Way were total cringe. The makeup was like tribal warpaint... on an escapee from assisted living. So old... but his voice on Imagine held up. It's just the Imagine should never, never have been turned into a "show biz" closer. Absurd.

Cooper and the cat buttholes: weed, that laughter could only be from someone stoned.

You’re all bitches!

^^^

Matt Rogers, pissed off and queening out over being left out of the conversation.

[quote] Is Richard Quest ever on CNN aside from NYE?

Quest has a show on CNN International, Quest Means Business, which airs weekdays at 3pm ET / 8pm BST and for some reason they seem to drag his ass on regular CNN when ever there is a plane crash. Haven't been many plane crashes fortunately so he hasn't been on regular CNN much. Quest said this is his 27 year on CNN New Years Eve, he seemed like an after thought.

Who in the Hell thought that having Paul Anka sing Imagine by John Lennon instead of paying John Lennon singing his own song. I was so pissed. I didn't even realize Paul Anka was still alive.

Anderson's crown is balding. Aging is a bitch

R126, And you apparently didn’t realize John Lennon has been dead for 43 years.

Andy Cohen made the whole thing cring-ey. No matter what you think of others like Ryan Seacrest or Mayor Adams, it's just bad fucking form to do that on national television. Save it for cunty cable show.

Pay royalties for the DEAD person singing the song the DEAD person wrote. Sherlock.

New Year’s Eve in Times Square is OVER!

O-V-E-R!

OVER!!!

I hope Andy Cohen gets publicly humiliated over his behavior. THIS is why they fucking hate us. What did Kathy Griffin get fired for again. What a fucking asshole.

Did they drunkenly shove that two sided dildo back and forth? Sorry don't have CNN >:(

R126 wow I’m blinded by your ignorance

If they'd have stayed on the air any longer, R133, they may have. Andy Cohen made disgusting references throughout, "Pass around the party bottom" at one point. Fuck him.

NYCers, was it warm there this year? They were wearing coats but it didn't look that cold (for the 5 minutes I could stand to watch). When my sis lived in NYC and I'd visit for New Years, I remember some of them being bone chillingly cold.

Andy Cohen is a coke head sexual assaulted who needs to be put down.

Amirite, my fellow queens?

We reign supreme

Mildish R136 - 30s and 40s

R134 . . .

Andy Cohen once called Datalounge a "nasty pit of vipers."

After reading this thread, it looks like he was right!

They need to fire the Andys and give the show to Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. Their appearance last night was the only time the show came alive. Anderson looks and acts like a little old lady the whole time and knows nothing about pop culture. Plus, all he talks about is his grief over his dead mother. There's no bigger buzzkill than a grieving Mama's Boy.

I wonder if Anderson has never seen a cat before so a “cat butt” struck him as hilarious. Maybe this would be funny to a 7 year old but a middle aged man?

[quote]I loved their shout-out to Janet's Damita Jo album.

Which one does she have?

[quote] [R126], And you apparently didn’t realize John Lennon has been dead for 43 years.

[R126] wow I’m blinded by your ignorance

R128 and R134, They have had John Lennon singing Imagine for every News Year Eve for years just as they had Frank Sinatra singing New York, New York for years despite the fact that the is also dead, You might not have heard that we have this newfangled thing called recordings that allow artists original recordings to be played years after their death.

R128 and R 134 They have been playing Imagine [bold]sung[/bold] by John Lennon every year since 1986 according to Wikipedia and guess what Lennon was dead for every one of those years. This year it was Paul Anka singing it and not very well.

The best was when Cohen asked Rogers if he had plans later and he said he planned to be ass up in a room somewhere. Cohen goes "sweetie, this is a family show," lol. Yeah, Sweetie, who has been calling himself daddy all night and taking shots. r132 Kathy was let go for the Trump photo after Anderson stabbed his good friend in the back and Cohen said "I don't know her" when asked about it.

I wonder if Kathy would ever be friends with Andy and Anderson again, if they sincerely apologized for turning their backs on her?

I would love to see them reunite.

They were really funny all together.

[quote] The best was when Cohen asked Rogers if he had plans later and he said he planned to be ass up in a room somewhere

I missed that part, but I guess it shouldn’t be surprising. CNN flashed a glam shot of Matt R. as an intro before their segment and my husband said he was kind of sexy. Then we watched him and worse… heard him and he was a complete dickwilter. HUGE disappointment.

This is why I said Bowen Yang was the rare shining moment during the show. In that segment he was the most mellow, composed and interesting person there.

Matt Rogers is a worthless cum dump faggot nobody love him he’s a useless retard

You didn't get the memo. Bitter old cunts of DL HATE Bowen Yang. And obsessively so.

Matt Rogers has a glamour shot head shot. I think part of the problem is his hair shaved up on the sides, I wish that style would go out.

Did Andy get to drink?

When I caught a part of the show, they both seemed very subdued.

So I assumed they weren't drinking.

Andy poured shots for him and Anderson to drink at the top of every hour, so they had four shots by the time the ball dropped and one afterwards. Anderson doesn't normally drink so he was struggling downing them.

Glenn Close enjoyed it

^^^^ OMG Ronan Farrow hulking out lolz

r147 Kathy was never friends with Cohen. Ever. Andy hated that Kathy was friends with Anderson and got to do the NYE show with him. She has the world record for a female comedian for specials most of which were on Bravo yet Cohen had here on his show twice. She even outlined what he would do to sabotage her. When she got her talk show on Bravo, Andy made sure that it aired AFTER his. He gave himself WWHL at the same time and would tie to ti the popular RH franchises in the Nielsen ratings (meaning if RHOA was airing it would show a 1.5 hours with WWHL being the half hour at the end so he would get the ratings from RHOA). She also said said Cohen offered her Coke in his office before a WWHL appearance. One time he had on Anderson's former assistant as a bartender and proceeded to prod him about how much he hated Kathy.

Kathy shitting on Anderson and a Teacake
