I don’t know whether to love this or be appalled by this or a little of all of the above.
I do know this: we didn’t know how good we had it all those years when a classy Dick Clark hosted the ball drop each year.
No drunken rants, no foul language, just class.
Now?
Well, now we have Andy Cohen and the Vanderbilt hosting the event and getting TANKED on the air.
It did lead to one incredible moment where Andy Cohen, clearly badly inebriated at this point, went on a drunken rant about outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Take a look:

Andy Cohen torched de Blasio.

Even the Vanderbilt looked VERY uncomfortable and tried to pull Cohen back to no avail.
But it was entertaining and can’t disagree with anything he says:
Andy Cohen drunkenly starting the year by smoking that Bill de Blasio pack is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TV 💀😭 #CNNNYE pic.twitter.com/hpuNDt0BpS

To be fair, Cohen announced ahead of time he planned to down a ton of drinks that evening:
Tonight we will raise MANY glasses to the WONDERFUL legacy of Betty White!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I’m sure Betty is very happy with this drunk sendoff.
So how much did they have?
Well, thanks to @59Dallas we have a counter:

The most hilarious thing is this isn’t the first time Cohen has blasted deBlasio live on the air on New Years Eve.
Remember last year?

Here’s what the New York Post had to say:
An animated Andy Cohen did not mince words while telling viewers of CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” coverage what he thought about former Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was replaced by Mayor Eric Adams after the ball dropped.
Cohen leaned into the camera and nearly needed to be held back by co-host Anderson Cooper as he unloaded on the ex-mayor — despite Cooper pleading with the Bravo personality not to “go on a rant.”
“Do his victory lap dance after four years as the crappiest term of the mayor of New York,” Cohen stammered, as an exasperated Cooper shook his head and repeated “wow” in disbelief after failing to change the subject.
“The only thing that Democrats and Republicans can agree on is what a horrible mayor he has been. So, sayonara sucker!”
Cohen himself admitted today it got away from him a bit:
🌧 good morning! 🌧. Um, I was a bit overserved last night…. 🥴

RIP Dick Clark, you have never been more missed than you are right now.
Hey Andy, if you really want to torch deBlasio, how about covering this story?
Sure, his dancing is bad, but so is $850 million gone missing.
Bigger story?
