Drunk Andy Cohen Hilariously Calls Out Anderson Cooper For Clueless Remark About Wealth

LOADINGERROR LOADINGEven the rich are keen to eat the rich.Or at least that’s what went down during Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen’s live New Year’s Eve special for CNN on Tuesday.Toward the tail end of the night, the duo — who have been covering New York City’s annual ball drop in Times Square for the past eight years and typically pass the time getting progressively drunker on air — were waiting for musician Diplo to arrive for a DJ set.

… I want one day to have a lifestyle where somebody says, ‘Oh yeah, he’s late.His helicopter’s running late.’” Advertisement Cooper’s remark immediately came off as clueless considering the lifestyle he was born into.

The journalist is the son of the late heiress Gloria Vanderbilt.The wealthy and influential Vanderbilt family built a railroad empire during the Gilded Age and are considered by many to be American royalty.
