Andy Cohen Reveals Only Regret From Viral New Year's Eve Rant

Andy Cohen has just one regret from his drunken New Year's Eve tirade last week.

On Friday night, Cohen, 53, and Anderson Cooper, 54, co-hosted CNN's "New Year's Eve Live" from Times Square in New York City.

During his SiriusXM show "Radio Andy" Monday, the Bravo producer recalled criticizing a competing broadcast, ABC's "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," which Ryan Seacrest was hosting from elsewhere in Times Square on the same night. Cohen said he regrets taking a jab at Seacrest and attributed his comment to his intoxicated state at the time.

"The only thing that I regret saying, the only thing is that I slammed the ABC broadcast," Cohen was quoted by People as saying. "And I really like Ryan Seacrest and he's a great guy and I really regret saying that and I was just stupid and drunk and feeling it."

He continued, "I was continuing the Journey rant and I just kept talking and I shouldn't have and I felt bad about that, so that is the only thing."

Cohen also called out the headlines regarding his quotes about Seacrest that made it seem like he "trashed" the host and said he hopes Seacrest gets the chance to hear his original comment.

During the live broadcast Friday night, the "Real Housewives" executive producer and reunion host said ABC's performers were a "group of losers."

"If you look behind me, you'll see Ryan Seacrest's group of losers performing," Cohen was quoted as saying by Us Weekly. "I'm sorry, but if you're watching ABC, you're watching nothing."

Cohen's drunken criticism was also extended to Journey, saying that the rock band, led by Arnel Pineda, was "not Journey" without original lead singer Steve Perry.

"We were doused with confetti from fake Journey on ABC. If it's not Steve Perry, it doesn't count! You get it? It's not Journey!" he reportedly said. "It's propaganda! It's propaganda! It's not Journey! It's not Journey! No, that was not Journey. Steve Perry is Journey."

Cohen took to Twitter the following day to acknowledge his drunken rant.

"Good morning!" he tweeted. "Um, I was a bit overserved last night."

CNN, through a spokesperson, also released a statement about Cohen's behavior during the New Year's Eve event.

"Andy said something he shouldn't have on live TV. We've addressed it with him and look forward to having him back again next year," the spokeswoman told People.
