LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The recent segment on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' brought forth a delightful exchange between the host and his guests - Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper.

The trio engaged in playful banter, teasing and discussing plans for their upcoming New Year's Eve broadcast.

During the lively conversation, Colbert humorously inquired about the possibility of on-air drinking for this year's New Year's Eve broadcast, referencing previous limitations on alcohol consumption during CNN's annual festivities.

Cooper's playful tease sparks speculation about New Year's Eve show

Anderson Cooper, one of the hosts of the broadcast, playfully hinted at a surprise, leaving the audience in suspense about whether libations would flow on the live show.

Colbert inquired, "Will you be drinking this year?"

Cooper coyly responded, "I think you’ll have to watch to find out." Colbert, seizing the moment, initiated New Year's revelry by presenting tequila shots "just for the holidays."

Later, he showcased headlines discussing Cohen's plea for CNN to "give the daddies some juice."



 

A candid reflection on last year's memorable broadcast

During the conversation, Cooper acknowledged to Colbert that a sober Andy Cohen wasn't 'any less embarrassing' last year than in previous New Year's Eve specials. Cooper recalled Cohen's tendency for bold and, at times, inappropriate questions.

Cooper recounted, "He asked wildly inappropriate questions; we had Nick Cannon on, and he even suggested that Nick get a vasectomy."

Cohen nonchalantly remarked, "I say what everyone else is thinking."

The conversation highlighted the spirited camaraderie and offbeat humor characteristic of their New Year's Eve broadcast.

As Colbert playfully revisited memorable moments from past shows and bantered with Cooper and Cohen, the segment captured the anticipation and jovial spirit preceding their annual on-air rendezvous, promising another night of unpredictable entertainment.

Throughout the engaging banter, the exchange exemplified the trio's playful chemistry and set the stage for an anticipated New Year's Eve filled with laughter, surprises, and, quite possibly, some unfiltered moments from the dynamic hosting duo of Cooper and Cohen.
