CNN's Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen broke the tradition of staying sober on New Year's Eve by consuming tequila shots live on air, marking a return to the previous unseemly conduct that was banned. The act garnered attention and criticism, with a GOP representative citing it as a sign of CNN's decline. However, the move seemed to have resonated with viewers, as the network's New Year's Eve special saw a 12% increase in total viewers compared to the previous year, reaching a record high of 2.33 million.
