Anderson & Kathy on CNN: Funniest New Years Eve Show Ever!

Share article:

Seriously. It’s hysterical. If you happen to catch this in time to turn it on, do. Kathy Griffin is hysterical. (And psst…I voted right after her in line on November 4th, and she asked me how she should vote. I’m sure she disregarded my suggestions.)

Nice to see CNN with its pants down for a change. Good work Kathy! Eat it, Seacrest!

So what are you other homebodies doing on New Years Eve? (And why aren’t you watching CNN?!)

    It’s almost 2:00 am here… the small family party’s over. I’ve got a beer with a bottle of diet coke for a chaser, two kiwi’s (the friendly furry fruit from hell), a fast home PC, a lousy rural DSL connection, it’s dark outside and I’m wearing sunglasses… Let’s roll!

    Happy New Year!

    Anderson and Kathy were cute, but definitely NOT the funniest new year’s eve show ever! And, hello, Kathy… time to clue in that when millions of people are watching *live* and you think the camera/sound is not capturing you anymore, they still just might be — I’m sure some families and conservatives were aghast at the “knock the dicks out of your mouth” comment! Overall, however, while Anderson and Kathy were palatable, CNN’s coverage was boring and just downright lame! There are millions of people watching… can’t CNN do a better job than that? Mmm… sure I love to watch tons of footage of nearly-empty Times Square after the ball has dropped… oooh, love the coverage of people standing around doing not much of anything on Bourbon St and in Key West… and yeah, love the other footage of a bunch of bands I’ve never heard of… That’s true cutting edge!! … Ok, I’ll step off my soapbox.

    Not for nothin’, but “do I come to where you work and…” is the oldest, hack response to a heckler there is. And “knocking the dick out of your mouth” isn’t even as fresh as some of the variations I’ve heard over the years.

    I prefer “(Do I come to) where you work and fuck with the Slurpee machine?” …

    That said, wishing all my adored Bradbloggers bags of joy, love, prosperity, transparent elections and impending Bush convictions in the coming year. I love this blog/ adore the minds that frequent.

    Absolutely LOVE Fantasy Fest. It totally rocks. 🙂 Too bad I don’t get there that frequently now. I went several years in a row in the early 90’s. What a blast.

    Happy New Year everyone!
