What did Andy Cohen say at the New Year Eve event?
There were a number of things that Andy said during the event. To begin with, he decided to call out Ryan Seacrest as he said: “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers that are performing behind us. I mean, with all due [respect], if you’ve been watching ABC tonight, you’ve seen nothing. I’m sorry.”
At the same time, he commented on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio by saying: “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 Democrats and Republicans can agree on is what a horrible mayor he has been.”
Did CNN fire him?
There were several speculations going around on Twitter that claimed Andy had been fired by CNN. However, it is not true. In fact, CNN is more than happy to have Andy back to host another New Year event.
In a statement, the news agency said: “I can confirm that Andy Cohen will be back to host NYE on CNN next year.” While New Year 2023 is far away, it looks like Andy has got himself another gig.
