Cohen and Seacrest Address New Year’s Eve Waving Incident

Andy Cohen and Ryan Seacrest have been rivals for years, with both men hosting popular New Year’s Eve specials on different networks. This year, the rivalry heated up when Seacrest accused Cohen of not waving to him during a broadcast.

According to Seacrest, Cohen ignored him while filming the show on New Year’s Eve. But Cohen’s story is different.

Cohen defended himself by saying that he simply “didn’t see him” on Wednesday’s episode of Radio Andy. He then asked his CNN co-anchor Anderson Cooper to support him. Cooper affirmed that Cohen was indeed preoccupied during the broadcast and, despite his best efforts, was unable to wave at Seacrest.

“[Seacrest] said on the show that you very politely turned around and waved to him and mouthed to him, ‘Have a good show,'” Cohen shared with Cooper on the show. “And that I didn’t turn around.”

Cooper, who waved to Seacrest, said it was because he “just happened to turn around” at the right moment to see him.

“There were a couple times I looked to see if he was around, and I hadn’t seen him,” he stated. “And then there was one time I just turned, and he was there over by where they, you know, do that hourly-like countdown.”

Despite the drama, the burgeoning controversy was nothing short of a hoot. Cohen and Seacrest have a history of friendly rivalry, and have even appeared on each other’s shows.

It’s clear that the two men have a lot of respect for each other, even if they do sometimes playfully poke fun at each other.

In the end, the dispute has been put to rest and Cohen, and Seacrest can go back to focusing on their successful careers and exciting New Year’s Eve specials.

However, Cohen insists that he missed the interaction because he was “dealing with the show.” 

His CNN co-anchor Anderson Cooper backed him up, saying that the moment passed by quickly and it wasn’t a big deal. Cooper added that he assumed Cohen had already waved to Seacrest earlier, and he was catching up.

Despite the controversy, the waving incident was a misunderstanding.
