TV: Think Your Family Is Crazy?
Cody Daigle

You can’t be out of the house every night of the week soaking in the entertainment that Acadiana [it's a Lafayette, Louisiana thing] has to offer. So we’ve decided to devote some space to the tube — what you’re watching, what you’re talking about and what you can’t get enough of on television.

New Year’s Eve with Anderson Cooper
CNN Thursday

Yeah, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is a staple, but even die-hard traditions can wear out their welcome.

This year, we’re getting our New Year’s Eve coverage where it’ll count: CNN.

The network’s hunky-serious anchor Anderson Cooper is once again guiding us to midnight, and this year he’s sharing hosting duties with Kathy Griffin, who infamously made CNN censors turn purple.

The pair will be joined by ex-N*Sync-er Lance Bass via satellite in Vegas (he’ll be covering the shenanigans on the West Coast). And a hanfdul of other CNNers will round out the coverage.

Cooper is, despite his “serious journalist” schtick, a really funny guy. And with Griffin on board, anything could happen.

And let’s do the math: Cooper, Griffin, Bass. Are we still wondering whether ol’ Anderson is gay?
