This year’s broadcast featured a notable change: the duo resumed on-air drinking, taking a tequila shot at the top of each hour—a practice previously paused due to network policies.
The evening was filled with unforgettable moments, including:
Celebrity Appearances: Guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Michael Ian Black, and Amber Ruffin joined the festivities, with Fiennes delivering a monologue that elicited reactions from Cooper.
Comedic Highlights: Comedian Roy Wood Jr. declined a tequila shot, humorously referencing former CNN host Don Lemon’s departure by saying, “The last Black man to drink on this network got fired.”
Musical Interludes: Rapper Lil Jon led Cooper and Cohen through a New Year’s Eve meditation, adding a unique twist to the night’s entertainment.
