CNN celebrated New Year’s Eve with an intoxicating broadcast that featured Don Lemon getting drunk and one of the network’s correspondents hitting up a “canni-bus” where she partied with stoners. Anderson Cooper was also there as the usual main host with his new co-host Andy Cohen, who replaced Kathy Griffin after she was fired by CNN for her beheaded President Trump “art.” But the main attraction without a doubt is drunk Don Lemon.

You may recall that Don Lemon got hammered last New Year’s Eve off of tequila shots and nearly got his nipple piereced. “People are saying that I’m lit,” Lemon said last year. “Yeah, I’m lit. Who cares?” After pounding a few more tequila shots, Lemon talked about relationships before CNN cut his mic. Lemon was still drinking this NYE but didn’t get to the blackout levels that he did in 2016. Lemon was in New Orleans on NYE with his co-host Brooke Baldwin, who bragged that she has bigger balls than him.

Meanwhile, CNN correspondent Randi Kaye reported from the festivities in Denver. She passed over the tequila for weed. Kaye was broadcasting from a “canni-bus” which is a party bus where people smoke weed. Kaye’s investigative journalism skills found stoners, a lit joint, and a gas mask bong. “Kush Kaye” (her nickname, not mine) later checked in from a puff, pass, and paint party. Kush Kaye didn’t actually take any hits, at least not on air. But she definitely got a contact high.

Is CNN hiring NYE correspondents for next year? Monday marks the first day that recreational marijuana was legal in California, so expect CNN’s next New Year’s Eve broadcast to go down in Cali.
