Sure, Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora might have an impressive celebration going on over at ABC with Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest. And it looks like things are looking festive over in Tennessee for CBS's Christmas in Nashville. But there are two very important things that both of those year-end specials lack. Yup, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. Thankfully, the duo will be back on our screens tonight for CNN's New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. Returning for their ninth consecutive year, Cooper and Cohen will be broadcasting live from the heart of New York City's iconic Times Square with an evening filled with music, laughter, and live coverage of celebrations from around the world. But it's our two silver-haired ringmasters who make the night special, year end and year out – with Cooper's alcohol-fueled giggles being just one of the night's highlights. Well, for those of you worrying that CNN might be imposing a dry New Year's Eve event, Cohen took to social media, making one thing perfectly clear: "YES! TEQUILA TONIGHT!!!!"
