"Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper Spice Up New Year's Eve with Tequila Shots and Laughs on CNN"
Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper resumed their tradition of drinking on-air during CNN's New Year's Eve Live coverage, taking shots of tequila after staying sober the previous year due to a network-wide alcohol ban aimed at preserving the "respectability" of the network. Despite the ban, the duo celebrated with a toast, and Cohen had previously expressed hope that CNN would allow them to drink, citing viewer dissatisfaction with the previous year's sober broadcast. Special guests on the show included John Mayer, Jeremy Renner, and Amy Sedaris.
