'Literally, he's in a puddle of giggles for the last 90 minutes of the broadcast, and I'm the one that's hitting all the commercial breaks.'. 'I kind of turn into Mr. CNN for the last 90 minutes, and he turns into Mr. Bravo,' he added. 'It's a very funny role reversal.'.

The son of designer Gloria Vanderbilt was likely referring to the 2021 broadcast when Cohen, who was drunk at the time, insulted Ryan Seacrest and the ABC New Year's Eve broadcast. Cohen called Seacrest's show a 'group of losers,' which led to him having to face the music the next day with a hangover.
