Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper quickly jumped into their old rapport during CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” on Tuesday, with the two hosts and real-life BFFs teasing each other and breaking out the booze.

Cohen excitedly brought tequila to take a shot at the top of every hour with Cooper. While Cooper, a light drinker, took the first shot in stride, the second one left him gasping for air.

The hosts remained jovial during the show, talking about having giggle fits during commercial breaks and FaceTiming with Hoda Kotb, who was hosting NBC’s New Year’s Eve special, “A Toast to 2024.”

A silly second-hour costume contest, set in front of the duo’s Madame Tussauds wax figures, featured a series of 2024 pop culture get-ups — including pygmy hippopotamus Moo Deng, viral French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati and a sad Glasgow Oompa Loompa — which left Cooper in a fit of giggles.
