Lemon and Brooke Baldwin returned to New Orleans for the 2nd year in a row.
On New Year’s Eve in 2016, Don Lemon downed shots, got his ear pierced, partied at the Spotted Cat and slurred talked about his readiness for a real relationship in the coming year. Oh, and it was all on live TV.
So color us excited when we heard the CNN anchor got re-hired for another “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin Eve” gig to ring in 2018.
It wasn’t yet 9 p.m. in New Orleans, but Lemon had already ticked off a few boxes for another raging good time. Cruise along in a pedicab on Frenchmen Street? Check. Visit the Spotted Cat? Check! Suck the head of a boiled crawfish handed over by a stranger? Check-check! Chug beer on live TV? Check-plus!
Followers of the show, which airs on ABC, posted on Twitter their enjoyment at watching Lemon’s antics using the hashtag #DrunkDonLemon. With a few hours still to go ’til midnight, it just might get more use yet. And we’re gleefully grabbing the popcorn.
