Meanwhile, Anderson also confessed that he’s annoyed with having to clean up Andy’s mess, hinting at his long-time friend’s infamous NYE rant from 2022.
The pair will be wrapping up 2024 with their usual antics, and we’re excited to see what they have in store.

Andy Cohen reveals annoying part of hosting NYE Special with Anderson Cooper
Andy spoke with PEOPLE about his NYE gig and shared the most annoying part of hosting the show with his friend.
“Well, [it’s] that I have to be the straight guy,” confessed Andy. “Literally, he’s in a puddle of giggles for the last 90 minutes of the broadcast, and I’m the one that’s hitting all the commercial breaks.”
The Watch What Happens Live host continued, “I kind of turn into Mr. CNN for the last 90 minutes, and he turns into Mr. Bravo. It’s a very funny role reversal.”
Meanwhile, Andy certainly isn’t perfect, as Anderson shared during his recent appearance on WWHL.
A caller asked the CNN host to share “the most annoying” thing about working with Andy on New Year’s Eve, and he hinted at the Ryan Secrest drama.
“Just who he’s going to insult and what the cleanup on aisle 3 is going to be in the morning,” Anderson responded.
