*This year CNN declared that the hosts may consume alcohol moderately and modestly, off-camera, after 2 viral-worthy moments from Andy Cohen. And how can one forget Don Lemon and Dulcé Sloan awkwardly repeating their unquotable (if you’re curious, you’ll have to Google it) New Year’s resolution*
An inebriated Andy Cohen on New Year’s Eve Live 2022
“Let me tell you something,” Cohen started, “watching Mayor de Blasio do his ‘victory lap’ dance after four years of the crappiest job as the mayor of New York! The only thing that the Democrats and the Republicans can agree on is what a horrible mayor he has been, so sayonara, sucka! 2022! It’s a new year.
‘Cause, guess what? I have a feeling I’m going to be standing right here next year, and you know what I’m not going to be looking at, dancing as the city comes apart? You!”
Andy again on Ryan Seacrest’s show and Journey who was performing
“If you look behind me, you’ll see Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers performing. … I’m sorry but if you’re watching ABC, you’re watching nothing,” Cohen said. “We were doused with confetti from fake Journey on ABC. If it’s not Steve Perry, it doesn’t count! You get it? It’s not Journey! It’s propaganda! It’s propaganda! It’s not Journey! It’s not Journey! No, that was not Journey. Steve Perry is Journey.”
