betking Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen Dish About Their New Year’s Eve Show

For the past eight New Year’s Eves, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen have been television mainstays — reporting live from Times Square on CNN and often going viral on social media for their anticsbetking, whether for Cooper’s giggles or Cohen’s political rants.

This New Year’s Eve was no different. On a rainy, unseasonably warm night waiting for the ball to drop, they played games, judged a costume contest involving their doppelgängers and asked prodding questions with the help of their guests, who included Ralph Fiennes, Diplo and Amy Sedaris.

CNN had gone back and forth in previous years on whether to allow Cooper and Cohen to drink on air, sometimes replacing alcohol shots with pickle juice. But this year the hosts got the go ahead, and Cohen provided the tequila and gold shot glasses.

After less than three hours of sleep — of course they had to stop by Patti LuPone’s party following the broadcast, despite Cooper’s on-air reluctance — they spoke in a video call on Wednesday about how the night went, their favorite moments and how they were spending New Year’s Day. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

First things first, how are you both feeling this morning?

ANDERSON COOPER I feel good. You know, there’s nothing better than spending the night with your friend and having fun, then waking up and having your kids around and, you know, making eggs and toast.

A man in a hard hat and yellow vest turned on a hose, and water flowed out onto the street. Most streets are covered in standard asphalt, a hard surface that water pools on top of. But in this case, the water disappeared, seeping through the pavement before it reached the curb.
