New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen is an annual New Year's Eve television special broadcast by CNN and CNN International. It primarily focuses on coverage of the "ball drop" event held at New York City's Times Square, while also featuring coverage of festivities in other areas of the U.S. and around the world.[1]
Overview
On December 31, 2001, Miles O'Brien hosted informal, news-based coverage of New Year's Eve celebrations in Times Square. CNN correspondents provided reports of the festivities from the crowd, including the swearing in of incoming New York City mayor, Michael Bloomberg.
In 2002, Anderson Cooper took over as host from Times Square.
Guest correspondents over the years include Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow, Ed Henry, John Zarrella, and Gary Tuchman, the last of whom typically serves as a roving reporter covering various smaller or more eccentric New Year's celebrations (in recent years alongside his daughter Lindsay Tuchman).[8] In recent years, musical performances inside Times Square and in other places have been shown.
The program was initially only 30 minutes long, beginning at 11:30 p.m. ET until shortly after the conclusion of the ball drop. The runtime was expanded to 90 minutes beginning in 2003, and was extended several times in the following years.[8] As of 2022, the program ran from 8 p.m. until just after 1 a.m. ET, with the last half hour focusing on festivities in the Central Time Zone (most often New Orleans and/or Nashville). This was in contrast with other nationally broadcast New Year's Eve programs until 2017, when ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve started broadcasting a Central Time countdown from New Orleans.[9]
Beginning in 2023, the special added coverage of celebrations from the Mountain Time Zone (extending its runtime to just after 2 a.m. ET), anchored by Tuchman.[10][11] The Pacific Time Zone does not receive live coverage during the special, with a tape-delayed encore of the 11:00 p.m. hour from Times Square shown at this time.

2007
For the program on December 31, 2007, comedian Kathy Griffin joined Anderson Cooper as co-host for the 90-minute show. The two immediately developed a unique rapport, which featured discussion about pop culture events and off-beat news stories from the year. Griffin actively engaged Cooper in various personal questions and rumors, and often steered the program off-track from Cooper's normal strait-laced broadcasting style.[15] Griffin also initiated an annual drinking game for each time she addressed Cooper as "Andy."
Erica Hill reported from street level in the crowd in Time Square, Kiran Chetry reported from Hard Rock Cafe, Gary Tuchman took part in the "Midnight Run" in Central Park, and John Zarrella reported from Key West.[15] Sean Callebs (New Orleans) and Kareen Wynter (Las Vegas) also joined for segments.[15]
2008
For the program on December 31, 2008, comedian Kathy Griffin joined Anderson Cooper as co-host for the second year, this year expanded to two hours. Griffin spent much of the night responding to hecklers. As the show was going to commercial she responded to a heckler by saying "I don't go to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth."[16][17] She also asked if she could "get a pap smear from Dr. Sanjay Gupta,"[18] to which Cooper responded "Really, are we going there already?"[18] She later called Glenn Beck a "heroin addict Mormon."[18] She asked Cooper if he had ever "ridden the Morning Express"[18] (a reference to Robin Meade whom Griffin claimed Cooper was "in love with").
Don Lemon and Erica Hill reported from street level and Gary Tuchman from the Midnight Run in
2009
During the December 31, 2009, episode, Kathy Griffin drew controversy after saying "fuck" live on the air.[17] During a segment where Cooper and Griffin were recounting pop culture events of the year, the subject of the Balloon Boy was brought up. During an exchange, Griffin said "Wait … Falcon? Fuckin'? Falcon? How do you say it?"[17] Cooper quickly responded "You're terrible,"[19][20] and quickly switched to a new topic. Griffin then joked about having 'a lesbian three-way with Susan Boyle and Oprah,'[20] and said she was engaged to Levi Johnston.[20] She also asked Cooper "how do you not just stare in the mirror all day and pleasure yourself because you're so gorgeous?"[20][21]
In the days immediately following, it was reported that Griffin was fired from the position and would not be invited back.[19][21][22]
2010
Despite rumors that Kathy Griffin had been banned from CNN,
Among the random discussions were Griffin's visit with Cher, and a live phone call from Cooper's mother Gloria Vanderbilt.[26] Griffin maintained her typical antics, at one point kissing a crew member, and pretended to start undressing Cooper. However, she completed the broadcast without saying any swear words.
2011
On December 31, 2011, Cooper and Griffin hosted for the fifth year. CNN correspondents included: Isha Sesay (street reports), Gary Tuchman and his 14-year-old daughter (Central Park run), John Zarrella (Key West), Brooke Baldwin and Marty Savidge (Nashville).[27]
Anderson Cooper took part in a pre-recorded skit involving the
2012

The three-hour broadcast featured a live interview via satellite with
2013
For the 2013–2014 broadcast, Cooper and Griffin hosted their seventh consecutive year together.[33] The program aired live from 9 p.m. through 12:30 a.m. EST.[34] It was the first year the program began at 9 p.m. EST.
Anderson and Kathy were joined on set by guests: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Melissa Etheridge among others. This was John Zarella's final year with CNN, where he has featured the Drag Queen Drop in Key West, Florida for a number of years. The cast looked back at Zarella's remarkable career with the network. Tuchman reported from the Watermelon Drop in Vincennes, Indiana.
Cooper and Griffin carried the show for three and a half hours, then similar to years past, tossed to Brooke Baldwin in New Orleans at 12:30 a.m. for a 35-minute coverage of the New Year in the Central Time Zone. Baldwin along with Susan Hendricks shared a live music performance with Hank Williams Jr.
In 2013, the hashtag associated with the program #CNNNYE trended on Twitter from 9 p.m. EST through midnight.
2014
Cooper and Griffin co-hosted New Year's Eve live on December 31, 2014, live from New York's Times Square. The program aired from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. eastern, the longest running time ever for the duo. Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin hosted from 12:30–1:05 a.m. eastern, ringing in the Central Time Zone's New Year from New Orleans. Griffin's antics were tame compared to previous years, as her only trick of the night was to put red and blue dye in Cooper's gray hair.
Richard Quest was scheduled to report live from the
Michaela Pereira joined Quest as reporter on the street in Times Square. This was the first time in four years that Isha Sesay did not partake in the coverage. Patrick Oppman reported from Havana, and Pamela Brown reported from Memphis. Though no reporters were present, footage was shown from Key West.
2015
Cooper and Griffin were back for their ninth year on December 31, 2015. The duo hosted an extra hour, beginning at 8 p.m. eastern time, starting the broadcast from their "NYE
At 8:47 p.m., as Cooper and Griffin were walking down to street level in Times Square, Griffin removed her coat and for part of the evening, appeared on-screen wearing only a bra. Don Lemon subsequently commented "I have to say: nice rack."[36] Guests on stage included Jessie J ("Bang Bang") and Gus Kenworthy. In addition, Dana Bash appeared with Griffin in a pre-recorded skit. The night was filled with memories from the year, clips from their previous New Year's Eve broadcasts, and a video of Griffin doing the Ice Bucket Challenge nude. Griffin spray tanned Anderson's face.
2016
Cooper and Griffin returned for their tenth year on December 31, 2016. The program aired from 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Eastern time. Reporters included Richard Quest (Times Square); Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin (New Orleans); Nischelle Turner (Nashville); Gary Tuchman and Lindsay Tuchman (Miami); Randi Kaye (cruise ship) and Lynn Smith (Dallas). Lemon and Baldwin took over as hosts at 12:30 a.m. to cover the central time zone countdown. Keith Urban performed.[37]
Cooper and Griffin received well-wishes from numerous celebrities, including
2017, firing of Griffin and her replacement
In May 2017, Griffin was fired from the program and CNN after she had released a controversial publicity photo which depicted her with an effigy of the severed head of U.S. president
The broadcast featured a series of field segments by
2018
2019
Cohen and Cooper once again hosted from Times Square, with Randi Kaye reporting from Key West, and Baldwin and Lemon reporting from Nashville. Cheri Oteri made a guest appearance, reprising her Barbara Walters impersonation from Saturday Night Live, as a nod to one of Walters's introduction to the newsmagazine 20/20 (the real Walters has not appeared in public since 2016.)[49]
2020
Cohen and Cooper hosted from a sparsely populated, socially-distanced Times Square,[50] with Baldwin and Lemon hosting for other time zones from Lemon's house (an "undisclosed location.") Cheri Oteri reprised her guest appearance as "Barbara Walters", Bill Weir got a tattoo on the air, Gary Tuchman and Lindsay Tuchman appeared from a ski slope, Richard Quest reported from Times Square, Randi Kaye reported from a Florida dog shelter, and Ana Cabrera reported from a socially distanced dance party atop 30 Hudson Yards, where CNN maintains its New York studios. Guests and performers included Kylie Minogue, Snoop Dogg, John Mayer, Gloria Gaynor, Josh Groban, Leslie Jordan, Patti LaBelle, Jimmy Buffett, and Desus & Mero.[51] After midnight, Cohen criticized then mayor Bill de Blasio, telling him to "Do something with this city".[52]
2021
Crowds returned to Times Square, as did Cohen and Cooper. Lemon was joined in New Orleans at a parade with Alisyn Camerota (Baldwin had departed the network earlier that year), and comedian Dulcé Sloan.[53][54] Other correspondents included Stephanie Elam in Las Vegas, Randi Kaye in Key West, Richard Quest performing the CityClimb atop 30 Hudson Yards, Chloe Melas from Times Square, Donie O’Sullivan at Hudson Hound, an Irish bar in the West Village,[55] and Gary and Lindsay Tuchman in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the city's 500th anniversary.[56] Cheri Oteri reprised her role as Barbara Walters.[57] Other guests included Patti LaBelle, Amanda Gorman, Katy Perry (from her Play residency at Resorts World Las Vegas),[58] William Shatner, Leslie Jordan, and Earth, Wind & Fire.[53] Shortly after midnight, Cohen re-iterated his disdain for outgoing mayor Bill de Blasio,[59] and celebrated the inauguration of Eric Adams.[60] Cohen had also criticized Ryan Seacrest, host of New Year's Rockin' Eve (arguing that people who watched the special instead of New Year's Eve Live were "watching nothing"),[61] for which he later apologized.[62]
During central time coverage, Lemon responded to attacks he faces, saying in part "You can kiss my behind, I do not care. I don’t care.[63] Sloan also attracted attention for stating that there will be "no more broke dick," referring to a man without money.[63][64]
2022
During an internal town hall in November 2022, the new head of CNN,
On location in New Orleans, Don Lemon missed midnight in the Central Time Zone; the telecast at that point showed a split screen of scenes from the party and of Nashville's music note drop, with no commentary.[68] For the first time, CNN also broadcast live coverage from a celebration in the Mountain Time Zone (2:00 a.m. ET), with Gary and Lindsay Tuchman covering Boise's Idaho Potato drop.[10]
For this year's edition, CNN International's own non-stop coverage of the global celebrations were formally integrated for the first time under the New Year's Eve Live banner from 8:00 AM Eastern (9:00 PM Hong Kong/Manila) as a lead in to the simulcast of Cooper and Cohen from Times Square. Kristie Lu Stout and Isa Soares anchored from Hong Kong and London respectively
2023
The special featured guest appearances by Bridget Everett, Eva Longoria, John Mayer (who appeared from a cat café in Tokyo, much to Cooper's amusement), Jeremy Renner, Henry Winkler, and Bowen Yang.[69] Cooper and Cohen returned to drinking alcohol during the telecast, taking a tequila shot at the top of each hour. Cohen continued his apparent feud with Ryan Seacrest,[70][61] while the co-hosts revealed to Cohen's parents that they've never needed to go to the bathroom during the special (albeit noting that there was a portable toilet available nearby).[69] The Mountain Time coverage originated from Las Cruces, New Mexico's chili pepper drop.[11]
