CNN has addressed the drunken jab by the network's New Year's Eve countdown show co-host Andy Cohen at ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve and its host, Ryan Seacrest, which Cohen is also saying he regrets.
While the rock group Journey was performing during ABC's show, a drunk Cohen, who was co-hosting with Anderson Cooper, blasted what he called "Ryan Seacrest's group of losers that are performing behind us," telling CNN viewers, "I mean, with all due [respect], if you've been watching ABC tonight, you've seen nothing. I'm sorry."
Cohen then continued on a rant about Journey being "fake" because singer Steve Perry from the band's classic era is no longer with the group.
During the show, Cohen also drunkenly ranted about outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Cohen said on his SiriusXM show Monday that he regrets his comments about the ABC show -- but only that.
He said, "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. And I really regret saying that, and I was just stupid and drunk and feeling it." CNN said in a statement to E! News, "Andy said something he shouldn't have on live TV. We've addressed it with him and look forward to having him back again next year."
