“The only thing that I regret saying, the only thing is that I slammed the ABC broadcast and I really like Ryan Seacrest and he’s a great guy. I really regret saying that, and I was just stupid and drunk and feeling it.
“I just kept talking and I shouldn’t have. I felt bad about that. So that is the only thing. It’s the only thing.”— Andy Cohen speaking on his Andy Cohen Live radio show, reflecting on his drunken NYE hosting appearance on CNN. Cohen called the ABC performers “a bunch of losers” and told viewers “I’m sorry, but if you’re watching ABC, you’re watching nothing.” He also railed against former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, and according to insiders, he will not be invited back to cohost next year.

Why was this sot allowed to go on drunk????
James Hart
Don Lemon – a CNN host – who was on air after Andy Cohen also made a complete a** out of himself.
Mister P
He said he was “overserved”. It looked to me like he was serving himself.

I used to watch it when Kathy Griffin was on it…
cuteguy
And why was Kathy Griffin replaced with this mess?
Bengali
Because she held up that bloody Trump head. CNN caved to critics of her actions. Andy’s claim to fame is the Real Housewives franchises. A bunch of rich nothings who think they $$$ makes them important and relevant. News for them – THEY’RE NOT.
As Andy won’t be invited back to host NY Eve next year or subsequent years, it’s likely cost Anderson Cooper the gig as well.
I use NY Eve to catch up on all of my favorite gay movies.
And I know my reply is getting lengthy but Make The Yuletide Gay (Amazon) is my favorite newer holiday movie. Then come two classics – It’s a Wonderful Life, followed by Shop Around The Corner. Any one of the three movies is better than watching Andy drool all over himself.

When that photo came out of her holding the severed head of Trump….and then even her former friend Anderson Cooper didn’t stick up for her. Then that was that.
dhmonarch89
because Anderson was a little bitch to Kathy and he wanted to slap her in the face by hiring a guy who insulted Kathy every chance he got.

Oh dear, Queerty! You always find the most unflattering pics to post when someone is behaving badly LOL I hope I never become famous and piss Queerty off 😉

I regret that CNN fired Kathy Griffin and gave us this instead. If you’re going to talk smack and have that be your thing, at least have the courage to stand by your words.
I think Cohen would have folded under half the harassment and abuse of power DOJ was ordered to put Kathy Griffin through.

I will never watch CNN again on NYE. Cohen was horrible and Don Lemon was worse. It is hard to take him as a serious newscaster.

Ahhhh…. The man is such a professional…. NOT! Who has a prime TV job to do and gets drunk…. Actually, for that matter, who has a job if any kind and gets drunk doing it.
What an idiot.

Andy Cohen makes my skin crawl. He makes Perez Hilton seem like St. Francis.
Cam
He wasn’t “Overserved” there isn’t such a thing. He drank exactly how much he drank, nobody forced the alcohol down his throat.
Howard Stern set Cohen up on a date with one of his staff and Cohen showed up late and already drunk for the date. Sounds like he may have a problem.
RTG
Cam he claims he’s off edibles…..for his son’s sake. I’m not buying it.
I forced myself to get through his book Superficial……the title is really an understatement. Unbelievably vapid individual who spent most of his time (at least while he was writing the book) high out of his mind. I cannot imagine why TSA doesn’t search him every time he flies just on general principle.
jayceecook
I stopped watching when they ditched Kathy Griffin.
And to the person, I can’t remember who it was, that sort of chastised me for making critical (kindly btw) comments about Andy C when he revealed he got CV19 the second time, this is a good example of why I did.
ron2013
I think they should keep both Andy and Anderson AND add Kathy Griffin back to the mix. The three of them would be absolutely hilarious, disturbing, and NSFW. After such a shitty 2021, frankly, I’m surprised more people weren’t sloppy drunk!
dhmonarch89
Kathy would never go near either of them these days- after the bitchy, juvenile BS they they’ve pulled on her.
bigdandd
He and “deer-in-the-headlights” Anderson Cooper are two of the most inept, no talent individuals on the planet. Who even watches these two losers?
mediajky
I have never liked him.
arie570
Doesn’t he have a child too. I hope he doesn’t get “overserved” then

All I can say is that I DVR’d the AC2 NYE Special & after watching the first 5 minutes of it I deleted it. I was very disappointed with both Andy & Anderson, who appeared quite drunk & Stupid. That 2 male, Gay role models with young sons would act this way on a public broadcast that millions of people were probably watching made me sad.
I am NOT a big fan of Cohen’s, but was totally disappointed with Anderson. I will no longer watch their NYE special if they are asked back next year & really think that Anderson needs to be careful when around Andy. I know that they are good friends, but Andy will take Anderson down with him. I have lost a lot of respect for Anderson out of this. No longer the Role Model that I thought that he was.
RTG
It was like a gallery of badly behaved gays….add Don Lemon to the mix plus Richard Quest in statue of liberty drag (Google him if you want to hear about his arrest in Central Park…with meth). Never watching it again.

Imagine resorting to getting drunk as a way of drawing attention to your gig in the New Year’s day media. I pity the fool who continued watching the secondary CNN NYE broadcast once Kathy was unjustly betrayed by that rich prig and replaced with this mess.
Kathy once said that she didn’t know when she worked with Cohen at Bravo that really he wanted to be her. Now, it’s pretty obvious to everyone that Cohen is no Kathy Griffin.
If Cooper apologizes to Kathy privately and publicly, and CNN drops Cohen and brings Kathy back, I’ll watch in the future. Until then, hard pass.
rangerwilcox
is fatherhood too much for Cohen? all that drinking like he was glad he got a night out.
he just got over catching COVID again, too. he’s just too “loose”.
Kangol2
I checked into the show as Cheri Oteri was on her riff. That was the high point. After she finished it was back to the unspeakably dull Andy Cohen-Anderson Cooper confab, with Cohen clearing drinking himself blind, so I turned it off. Perhaps CNN might do itself a favor, fire both Cohen and Cooper from its NYE broadcast, bring back Kathy Griffin, and pair her with Oteri, Molly Shannon, and a few other truly comical people. That would be worth watching!

YICK!

Kathy Griffin tried to be Joan Rivers. Joan did it best .I had DVDs of Kathy’s standup. She talks and talks with no point no punchline. Andy Cohen does as well every show he has been on he thinks it’s HIS .monopolizes the conversation..hogs the camera and hardly lets anyone else speak..what is his talent besides yaking it up.with housewives and talking nonsense.?
