<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kathy-griffin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kathy Griffin</a> took a shot at CNN ahead of the network&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Eve coverage with anchor Anderson Cooper and his co-host for the event, Andy Cohen.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can’t wait to watch Miley and Dolly tonight,&#8221; Griffin, who was fired from co-hosting the show, wrote on Instagram.</p>
<p>Fox News reported that the remarks were an apparent reference to NBC’s competing New Year show with Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ugh. Every year someone sends me this clip around New Year’s Eve,&#8221; Griffin said in the post. &#8220;This guy was my boss for years. Decided whether or not I worked at Bravo. Can you imagine seeing your ex boss on TMZ like…this? Ouch! Anyway, I can’t wait to watch Miley and Dolly tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="1">Cooper and Cohen <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kathy-griffin-swipes-cnn-andy-cohen-ahead-new-years-coverage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rang in the New Year</a> on the network by taking shots of non-alcoholic substances.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="3">During a company town hall back in November, CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-cracks-down-on-drinking-during-new-years-eve-live-viewers-mourn-loss-of-hosts-on-air-antics" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-reader-unique-id="4">informed</a> staff that he would put a stop to much of the drinking that has usually been a hallmark of CNN’s New Year’s Eve programming.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="7">At the time, it was believed that hosts like Anderson Cooper would be allowed to keep drinking, but anchors and correspondents like Don Lemon would be prohibited from drinking during the broadcast.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="8">However, Cohen exclaimed during live television coverage, “We can’t drink!”</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="9">Cohen said that he had a pocket of edibles. “Will I take them? I don’t think so,” he said. “I don’t know. It’s a long night. This is a telethon with no disease. Do you understand? We’re here all night! Passing time!”</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="12">Cohen and Cooper instead took shots of non-alcoholic substances.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="13">“What we are doing is we are taking a mystery shot!” Cohen said.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">They took shots of pickle juice and buttermilk, Mediaite <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-andy-cohen-anderson-cooper-address-the-new-years-eve-no-booze-rule-but-its-okay-theyre-drinking-something-else/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-reader-unique-id="15">reported</a>.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">CNN&#39;s Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper kept the New Year&#39;s Eve mystery shots going with a new drink: buttermilk <a href="https://t.co/5MxpKEO1Mh">https://t.co/5MxpKEO1Mh</a> <a href="https://t.co/cBYLkgUP7o">pic.twitter.com/cBYLkgUP7o</a></p>

<p data-reader-unique-id="45">This year will be the first New Year’s Eve show overseen by Licht since he took over the network in February. During the meeting, Licht reportedly told staffers that drinking on-air eroded the presenters’ credibility and “respectability.”</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="46">Last year, the broadcast drew significant controversy when Lemon and Cohen both went on alcohol-fueled rants while on air. First, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-a-grown-a-man-kiss-my-behind-don-lemon-launches-self-pitying-rant-on-new-years-eve" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-reader-unique-id="47">Lemon ranted</a> to fellow host Alisyn Camerota and comedian Dulce Sloan about criticism he receives. “I don’t give a — what you think about me, what do you think about that?” Lemon said. “I’m a grown-a** man. I don’t care what you think about me.”</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="48">“I am who I am,” Lemon continued. “I’m a grown, successful black man who a lot of people hate because they’re not used to people seeing me — and people like me — in the position that I am. To be able to share what I … my point of view on television, it freaks people out. And you know what? You can kiss my behind. I do not care. I don’t care. I really don’t care. I have one life, and this is who I am, and I feel very, um … blessed and honored to be in this position to be able to do this. So all the hate I get? It’s motivation to me. Bring it. I don’t care.”</p>
