After shading Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooer’s CNN hosting gig from 2021, Seacrest said it was probably a good year for CNN to cut back on the on-camera drinking, the ABC host has sparked a back-and-forth that we absolutely can’t wait to witness. Naturally, Cohen has promised that the partying will continue to commence over on CNN, but only time will tell. Meanwhile five and a half hours of this year’s best in music are in store for viewers of ABC and Dick Clark Productions’ “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2023,” which is being celebrated across the hemisphere.
