46. CNN New Year's Eve coverage was great!

Mon Jan 1, 2018, 10:25 AM

Jan 2018

I looked at all the other broadcasts, and they were unwatchable.

CNN did live feeds from Key West, New Orleans, Nashville, Mile High City!

Did Andy and Anderson seem a little frozen in single digit and below zero wind chills? You betcha!

Did we miss Kathy Griffin? Yes, we did!

Happy New Year and welcome to 2018! It can only get better.

Anderson was on more of a precipice with Kathy. Made it more exciting. applegrove Jan 2018 #6

I liked the tension between Kathy and Anderson better mchill Jan 2018 #32

Agreed. My husband and I are watching and they're just not funny together. Nt MANative Dec 2017 #2

We boycotted CNN. Spent the night watching Ryan Seacrest & Divine host the New Year festivities. TheBlackAdder Jan 2018 #37

I think it's been surprisingly entertaining, especially the bong hits. greyl Dec 2017 #3

I think its horrible. erinlough Jan 2018 #7

Seriously not fun. Sophiegirl Jan 2018 #8

Yeah shenmue Jan 2018 #18

Agree! mchill Jan 2018 #33

Who is Kaufmann? I thought it was Andy Cohen. Tipperary Jan 2018 #48

Oh, you're right. Messed up his name. Just doesn't stick with me. lindysalsagal Jan 2018 #49

I was unable to watch so I just wondered if they had another host. Tipperary Jan 2018 #51

There's a CNN reporter holding a joint on CNN Renew Deal Jan 2018 #16

She was funny shenmue Jan 2018 #17

I disagree. Griffin thought the rules didnt apply to her. She found out different. Trust Buster Jan 2018 #19

Which rules exactly? DesertRat Jan 2018 #61

The picture of Don the Con was indecent. Her behavior on the New Years show was indecent. Trust Buster Jan 2018 #68

The punishment didn't fit the crime DesertRat Jan 2018 #70

Yeah the "it" isn't there. Xolodno Jan 2018 #20

My thoughts were the same as I watched the NYE coverage. mfcorey1 Jan 2018 #42

Anderson didn't seem comfortable with Andy LeftInTX Jan 2018 #43

Is it so politically incorrect to say why it sucked so bad? elias7 Jan 2018 #44

Are you saying it was too gay? melman Jan 2018 #45

No. It was too boring. lindysalsagal Jan 2018 #47

No one is saying that elias7 Jan 2018 #65

So why was it bad? melman Jan 2018 #67

Tell us why it sucked so bad. Surely you can tell us instead of hinting. Tipperary Jan 2018 #54

Exactly my point. elias7 Jan 2018 #66

I think they just have no chemistry compared to Cooper and Griffin. eom Tipperary Jan 2018 #69

CNN New Year's Eve coverage was great! yallerdawg Jan 2018 #46

Remember when... WiffenPoof Jan 2018 #50

She was the best! NYE wasn't the same this year DesertRat Jan 2018 #62

I hope Kathy watched and recorded her live reactions to it. forgotmylogin Jan 2018 #52

My husband flipped over to it now & then & said there was no humor & they seemed stiff. CrispyQ Jan 2018 #53

It was probably on lots of tv's but with few really watching: lindysalsagal Jan 2018 #55
