Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper jumped into their previous rapport rapidly throughout CNN’s “New 12 months’s Eve Stay,” with the 2 hosts and actual life BFFs teasing one another and breaking out the booze.

Cohen introduced tequlia for pictures for the hosts to tackle the hour. Whereas Cooper, a lightweight drinker, took the primary shot in stride, the second left him gasping for air.

The hosts remained jovial in the course of the present, speaking about having giggle matches throughout industrial breaks and FaceTiming with Hoda Kotb, who was internet hosting NBC’s personal New 12 months’s Eve particular, “A Toast to 2024.”

A second hour costume contest, set in entrance of the duo’s Madame Tussauds wax figures, featured a collection of 2024 popular culture get-ups — together with pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng, viral French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati and a tragic Glasgow Oompa Loompa — which left Cooper in a match of giggles.

In different media moments, Roy Wooden Jr. turned down a shot with the hosts, quipping that, “the final Black man to drink on this community bought fired,” which gave the impression to be a nod to Don Lemon being fired from the community in 2023.

The alcohol marched on alongside the visitor, as even critical stars like “Conclave” lead Ralph Fiennes threw again a shot with the duo.

This 12 months is Cohen and Cooper’s eighth time internet hosting the chatty New 12 months’s Eve present, and introduced out loads of their celeb mates, together with chats with Amy Sedaris, Jon Hamm, Ziwe and extra.
