Ryan Seacrest Says CNN Is Smart to Cut Back on NYE Drinking After Andy Cohen Drunkenly Dissed Him: ‘I Don't Advocate Drinking on Air’
went viral during last year’s telecast for their drunken antics, which included Cohen dissing Seacrest and ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” Seacrest has hosted ABC’s annual celebration since 2006.
Cohen addressed “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” as “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers that are performing behind us” while on air, adding, “I mean, with all due [respect], if you’ve been watching ABC tonight, you’ve seen nothing. I’m sorry.” Nearly a year later, Seacrest told EW that he doesn’t “advocate drinking when one is on the air.” He added, “I don’t know how that started as a tradition, but it’s probably a good idea [to scale back], CNN.” The news network“There’s some pretty respectable people or at least one, right? I think there’s a serious journalist and then a friend of mine who has a lot of fun, but it’s probably a good idea,” Seacrest said. “Although the viewers probably wish they would drink more.
Seacrest concluded, “I think our show’s a bigger, broader show and we will not drink until 1:05 in the morning. Although, I might send them some Casa Dragones Tequila just to tempt them while they’re on the air.” Cohen later admitted that his on-air Seacrest diss was a huge mistake. “The only thing that I regret saying, the only thing is that I slammed the ABC broadcast and I really like Ryan Seacrest and he’s a great guy,” Cohen said on his SiriusXM radio show. “And I really regret saying that, and I was just stupid and drunk and feeling it.”
