Cohen will be taking Kathy Griffin’s place next to Cooper as co-host. Griffin co-hosted New Year’s Eve with Cooper since 2007, but was fired from the gig in May due to the controversy surrounding her photo shoot with a bloodied mask of President Donald Trump’s head.

The Bravo host and the CNN journalist have been friends for years. Cooper has even appeared on WWHL, revealing that the two nearly went on a blind date together!

“Andy and I were first set up on a blind date, which never happened because we had a phone call and after two minutes, I said, ‘I’m not dating this guy,'” Cooper recalled. “He broke my cardinal rule… he mentioned my mom [Gloria Vanderbilt] within the first four sentences of meeting me.”
