If you don\u2019t remember, while co-hosting New Year\u2019s Eve 2022, Andy <\/strong>had a bit of an on-air mishap.<\/p>\n While co-hosting at the time, Andy <\/strong>said, \u201cIf you look behind me, you\u2019ll see Ryan Seacrest<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s group of losers performing. I\u2019m sorry but if you\u2019re watching ABC, you\u2019re watching nothing.\u201d After this, it was said that CNN might have banned them from drinking on air, which was later clarified by Andy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, Andy <\/strong>is speaking out about NYE 2025, which he\u2019ll be back to co-host with Anderson<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll be sipping tequila. We usually do a shot at the top of every hour, and then I will be sipping Fresca Mix during the show,\u201d Andy <\/strong>confirmed to Delish<\/a>. \u201cThe truth of the matter is, if I wasn\u2019t on TV, I don\u2019t think I would be doing a shot an hour. But there is something about the adrenaline. I have so much adrenaline during that four and a half\/five hours that I\u2019m standing there with Anderson. We have a lot to do. It\u2019s almost like the adrenaline is a little bit of a barrier for me to actually get impaired. I can still host the show.\u201d <\/p>\n See how Ryan <\/strong>responded to Andy <\/strong>calling his New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve group a bunch of \u201closers.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
