Comedy News Network screws up New Year's Eve countdown again

"I don't know if I spilled my drink or peed myself"

Another year, another CNN clusterfrack. It seems they can't get anything right, even the countdown to the New Year. Either they're too drunk or too distracted to do what they came to do: take their viewers seriously.

As the clock struck midnight, Don LeMon and his fellow celebrators in New Orleans were dancing and twerking to Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up," in the spirit of "Wet A** Pu**Y" by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion rather than doing their job: celebrating the start of 2023 with toasts, maybe some resolutions, predictions, and kisses.

The professionalism they showed on New Year's is the same they bring every day, which is to say they have their heads up their nether regions when it comes to being professional. The only reason Don LeMon would sing and dance to "Back That Azz Up" is because he needs to remove his head from it.

"CNN has redeemed itself by ringing in the new year in New Orleans with ‘Back That Azz Up’ and not acknowledging the stroke of midnight in any way," Timothy Burke tweeted.

"As the clock ticked over, Lemon is seen throwing beaded necklaces into the dancing crowd, only moments later seeming to realize that the countdown and announcement had been missed," Business Insider reports.

It would have been perfect if the network could have arranged to have gotten Michael Avenatti out of the slammer and Jeffrey Toobin to dance with him, while Kathy Griffin comes on to Anderson Cooper and Brian Stelter sings WAP as the Times Square glass ball came down.

If it isn't booze with CNN hosts, its something else.

Anyhow, Happy New Year! Stay safe and I wish you all health and happiness.
