Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are leaving their winter coats and scarves behind, but are keeping their unhinged New Year’s Eve energy alive to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
The longtime CNN anchor and Bravo host are set to helm a new event for the United States’ semiquincentennial on CNN from Times Square.
What to expect:
According to the press release, Independence Eve Live with Anderson & Andy: Celebrating 250 will air from 8 pm ET through 12:30 am ET and will feature New York’s unique midnight ball drop honoring the nation’s semi-quincentennial and ushering in a landmark year for the country.
Throughout the night of July 3rd, “Anderson and Andy will be joined by an array of special guests — including celebrated American icons, cultural legends, and inspiring everyday heroes whose stories reflect the spirit, resilience, and diversity of the United States. In addition to the festivities in Times Square, CNN correspondents and reporters stationed across the country will bring viewers into cities and small towns nationwide, spotlighting the people, traditions and celebrations shaping this historic moment in communities coast-to-coast.”
On Saturday, July 4th, CNN anchors and correspondents will be fanned out across the country for The Fourth in America: Celebrating 250, CNN’s nonstop special coverage of the unique events defining America’s 250th.
