The CNN anchor, 53, took shots on live television Thursday night as he celebratedNew Year’s Evealongside his friend and fellow television personalityAndy Cohen, and his reactions got more hilarious the later into the night they went.
“I have not had a shot since, I think, the last time we were here,” Cooper told Cohen, 52, before their first drink.
After they took the shot, Cooper pursed his lips and coughed in seemingly slight discomfort, though he otherwise held it together.
“You’re getting better at it! I would argue that you’re getting better at it,” theWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohenhost told his pal.

The guys then took another shot withStephen Colbert, who joined them via a video call from his home, and Cooper didn’t hold back his distaste, shaking his head vigorously and eventually putting his forehead in one hand as Cohen laughed.
“That’s delightful. That’s lovely,” said Colbert, 56, asking Cooper, “And how many of these have you done now, Anderson?”
As Cooper remained speechless while he continued to recover, theBravostar told their guest, “About five, I think, maybe. Four or five.”

Thursday night was definitely a departure from regular life as of late for Cooper, who became a dad last year to sonWyatt.
“I don’t think I would have made the decision if I didn’t feel I was really ready, and I definitely feel like this is absolutely what I should be doing. I wish I had done it sooner,” he said. “I’ve been able to spend whole days, all my time with him really, during this pandemic. It’s been amazing.”
“I’ve never woken up early in the morning, but I now bolt out of bed at 7 without an alarm clock and I want to be there when he wakes up at 8:45,” added Cooper of how his life has changed since entering fatherhood. “Ijust love every aspect of it. It’s truly the greatest thing ever. I feel like what was I doing before? I don’t know.”
