“2021 lookin up” seems to be the general verdict on CNN ending the old year and ringing in the new one with, among a slew of clippable moments, co-host Andy Cohen suddenly launching into a short, spontaneous burst of hot fire directed at Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Social media was chock-full of clips featuring Cohen and Anderson Cooper putting on their own unique show. The two drank it up, and Andy Cohen was especially on, even managing to upstage Snoop Dogg, as perpetually surprised Anderson Cooper, the perfect straight man, utterly lost it.
One of the best and most unexpected riffs was the sudden flash of righteous anger from Cohen directed at the New York City mayor, and the reactions came from all over, including political conservatives, New York residents, journalists and everday folks. A real coming together of hating de Blasio (and what his mismanagement during Covid represents) to kick off 2021.
The clip was as instant hit. The words “hero” and “icon” popped dozens of times for Cohen in Twitter searches. And it got big reactions with a lot retweet action from all sorts.
From news watchers, writers, and hosts…
I’m not gonna lie — an absolutely plastered Andy Cohen torching Bill de Blasio as a terrible mayor of New York City is the absolute perfect start to 2021.

Andy Cohen Torches de Blasio: “That’s how I felt when I saw mayor #deBlasio dancing, just now. I just don’t need to see that at the beginning of 2021. Do something with this city! Honestly, get it together!” @EveningEdit https://t.co/1LAUTXhGNi

A classic, bi-partisan moment.
By the way, here’s de Blasio dancing with his wife, in a nearly empty Times Square, enjoying the echoing emptiness of the city as its residents, his royal subjects, watch from behind locked doors.
