Hellooo Anderson and Kathy!!!!
I wish have a great new year to you!!! I love you and Kathy, you guys are my huge favorite fans! I love Kathy is picking on you and you made me laugh so hard!!! I love his giggle so bad!!! LOL!!! I am so exciting to ready new year 2009!!!!! Happy New Year to the world, Kathy, Erica, best bloggers and you!!!! that was my favorite in the year " drum roll" Tina Fey!!!!! I hope you have a great year 2009!!!! See you tomorrow night!!!

Keep warm Mr. Cooper its cold out. Havea happy new year to all the 360 crew.

Freezing or not, I'm a little envious of anyone who gets to experience New Year's in Times Square–I would love to do that just once, but I'm not complaining since I'm sure to be well entertained by Anderson and Kathy Griffin–thanks for the great preview pics.

Just how c0Ld is it out there?

I soooooo wish i was there!!! I'm having a pretty lame new year's eve, oh well... Here's hoping that 2009 is a lot better than 2008! Happy new year everyone!

Wishing Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffith a Healthy and Happy New Year! Hope all goes well with new administration coming in. Hope they can help others that really are desperate and in need of help. Currently celebrating the birth of my two Grandsons Killian and Hayden on December 17.2008. Great Grandmom also thrilled with the new event. She also sends her best to Anderson Cooper she thinks you are really cute and you have been in her dreams. Try to stay warm this evening and thanks for entertaining us as you do. Also thanks for enforming us of events that happen around the world.

Wow! Looks everything in a state of preparednes!
How is Ms. Griffin? Keep warm!
I look forward to countingdown of New year's Eve!

Hey Anderson, you look like you're a tad cold up there in NYC. Happy New Year and STAY WARM! I think CNN needs to put more heaters up around your stage area! BTW, it's still 32 deg down here in "hotlanta" at 10:30 est – just a tad warmer than up there

I think it's timely that a whisky billboard is in the picture with Anderson. Anderson and Kathy may need a Saint Bernard to rescue them with a full shot glass of the stuff. It will cure the hypothermia long enough to utter Happy New Year.

Think WARM thoughts Anderson!

Anderson,
Happy New Year! Stay warm. I'm looking forward to the broadcast–the behind the scenes photos are great–as is the live video from Times Square and New Orleans.

Happy New Years, Anderson!

Happy New Year Anderson, Kathy, Jack , Erica, Gary, et al :

One degree with the wind chill? Whoa Nelly! I am a liitle worried about you guys. Anderson, sweetie, maybe you should consider either wearing a hat, or taking Kathy up on the spooning offer. LOL. No kidding, that is darned cold. Bundle up kids, we will think "warm" for you.

Be well! All the best to you!

Good evening Anderson, Kathy and all Bloggers. I know it is cold up there but it is not much better here. Only 76 degrees right now. Hope you guys have fun bringing in 2009.

Hey Anderson and Kathy,

Andersons lips are not moving do to the weather I hope and not due to Kathy. Just Kidding.
Love you

Terri Reed

Erica looks like she is nice and toasty warm. LOL Poor Don Lemon is so cold his hearing froze up too. LOL

Happy New Year Anderson and Kathy , and CNN staff members.

Happy New Year!!!

This is my first time being completely alone. Snowed in at Cortland, NY.
But now that I see you Anderson and Kathy, freezing for us...my heart warms...
I don't even have a nice glass of Moscato...Drinking cranberry juice of all things..
I wish all those at Times Square a safe trip home and thanks for being there.. I am originally from Brooklyn and stood there in the early 60s..had lots of fun...enjoy.
Also want to wish everyone a peaceful, joyous and healthy new year...Especially my five children and 9 grandchildren...God Bless!
Anderson be safe and thanks for conducting yourself as a true gentleman...You are so refreshing....You are the best in the news!

Hey Anderson & Kathy,
Happy New Year to you and everyone else. Kathy please let Anderson complete his sentences. Take turns on talking.

Loving the show so far. Andy you look delicious! I love Kathy–I don't know why "Mary" the lady who commented earlier is dogging on her. She loves Andy too and I've never heard her speak ill of him. They have great chemistry.

Peace & Love for Everyone–Happy New Years!

Anderson and Kathy have the best chemistry on tv and should definitely do more shows together. Keep up the great work Anderson and Kathy!

a very happy new year to u anderson cooper......wishing u all the best for 2009....u do an amazing job and always look fantastic:)

OMG....that is too cold.

I am headed out to an Authentic Irish Pub to ring in the New Year.

Stay Warm.

Oh my goodness, I LOVED Don Lemon's hat. They should be required wear for all of the CNN crowd!

Hope everyone is staying warm! But I must say...Anderson even sounds cold...you can hear the cold in his voice! Brrrr!

Anderson – drink some hot coffee or cocoa! If it feels like 0 degrees, its time to let go of the hot-drinks fear/avoidance.

Your face is frozen! So is Erica's!

Anderson, Congratulations on a successful 2008!
I look forward to watching you on CNN in '09.
The dynamic between you and Kathy is a riot to watch!
Keep up the great work!...
Please continue to 'keep it real' and 'keep them honest'!

Cheers!

I love Anderson, & Kathy is great, but it really bugs me how she constantly interupts Anderson!

My new years wish is to meet anderson cooper!!!

Happy New Year Andrson and CNN family.

I would like to wish all my friends and family a wonderful New YEAR...2009

Kathy, I love your show and your show too, Anderson.

Hi Kathy and Anderson. You two make a great news team! So funny. Kathy, lay off Wolf just a tad. Just a little... Stay warm and safe both of you. Happy 2009!

Anderson, I'm worried! You are SO COLD!

Thank you so much for having Kathy with you, she makes New Year's Eve!

I think Andy and Kathy should go on the road together! Maybe play vegas!!

OMG!!! I am in hysterics watching you two. I have not stayed up to watch the ball drop in several years but you two are so funny, I think I will make it this year. Kathy, you are the best commedian out there today and who would have ever thought you and Anderson would be great together. Anderson, just to hear you laugh is priceless. Happy New Year. LL – Denver, CO

Hi Anderson & kathy & Crew –
Its freezing up there so let the critics yep keep moving as it gets you warm hahaha tell Kathy to spray her mouth with that banaca stuff haahhah blow kisses to America its going to be a great year. Just loved you Anderson in those swim trunks, I laughed so hard. Its been in the 80's here in Daytona Beach looking forward to meeting you one day. Hurray to you honoring the troops.

good evening. great show. led=light emitting diode

Kathy Griffin – such a great choice for tonight's event. Please bring her back with Anderson every year!

hapy new year

Happy New Year to you!!!! Anderson and Kathy, you're both awesome! Keep it up and stay warm!

HAPPY nEW YEAR, ANDERSON! I've got a bet that you are a twin.
Because no one person can be everywhere. I have no doubt that if a crisis arises tonight, you'll be live at the scene in the morning.

Which is more nerve-wracking, covering wars, famine, hurricane's or co-hosting with Kathy. I love her, but she makes you so tongue-tied.

I am SOOO loving watching you guys!

It makes New Year's Eve extremely entertaining!

PS-There is HUGE positive energy between you two! (You have never laughed so hard, Anderson–at least not on camera!!) Have a wonderful New Year!

Happy New Year to all.
I really enjoy AC 360. Make sure Erica stays warm

Hey everyone, good evening and: HAPPY NEW YEAR from Berlin !
Good to see you bloggers and CNNers here again. All the best for you and your loved ones.

Happy New Year Anderson from John & Margaret from Tupelo

Tandie, Hanoi (Vietnam)

Happy new year's from South Korea! It's about as cold here as New York . But anyways, best of luck to everyone in the new year!!

Love you guys!....And yes WAY better than Ryan!.....Love the shoe drop in Key West wish we where down there. We just moved to Florida........sorry your freezing your bums off up North! ..........

HAPPY BLESSED 2009!

I'm having so much fun watching Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper ring in the new year – especially how she makes him soooooo nervous!

Happy new year from whippoorwill Dr

am watching the show right now. we just welcomed 2009 about 13 hours ago. have a blissful year everyone!

Happy New Year Kathy and "Andy"!

Hi Anderson,

From Sydney Australia here, I love your 360 program. Happy New Year to you. I am now watching you and Kathy live in TV. Kathy can be annoying at times, she's funny though.

Love you both! Kathy – when will you be back to Sacramento, CA – ?

Happy New Year to everyone in Corpus Christi, Texas

Anderson... your counting was a little off...

Happy New Year!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! .....ok so....As the ball was dropping...we couldn't help but notice...TOSHIBA!!!!! Hello! Is this America or what? ..........

I am sooo happy to see AC and Kathy G. So much fun!!!!!!

Andersen & Kathy are fantastic, I've laughed out loud several times
Happy New Year everyone, may this be the year our troops come home safe and healthy!

Mr.Anderson and Kathy wishing you and the entire world a very happy new year May God bless us all.....

meanwhile...it's a mild 54 degrees in san diego and we're still partying the night away

Happy New Year's to all my loved ones in the U.S.A.!!!

Good, lively show.

Anderson,
You are really great, but Kathie Griffin is rude, interrupts you constantly and screeches offensively.
I believe your best teammate is Erica!
PLEASE ditch the redhead!

Happy New Years Anderson and Kathy !! from Prince Rupert BC Canada, Sunny, Pam, Melissa, Rene and Rita!! 2009 is gunna be a beautiful year!!!

2009 will be better than 2008, Anderson is the man, bring us a smile, we need more of that...too much saddness in the world...and yes, I drank...but at home

Kathy is just too funny. I think she's in love with Anderson (who isn't). Anderson, where are your gloves??????

Guys, Really loved the comedy. The chemistry was really good and watching Anderson try to reel in Kathy, like that is possible, was very funny! I hope you team up again next year. Its a nice switch for us.

Love you Anderson, Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!!

p.s. CNN - NEVER bring Kathy Griffin back. She's crass and her voice is annoying! Plus she doesn't let people talk!

Kathy, this is not a game show or quiz show? What's your point to ask Erica and Anderson questions out of the blue? Please let other people finish their sentences!

Happy 2009 everyone. I'm bringing in this new year baking gingerbread cookies.Sloppy Sue lol. Kathy and Anderson should host every year!!!

Anderson: Love your laugh! It's so cute.

The longer I'm watching Kathy and Anderson, the more I've impression that it's like Anderson talking to a "hyper-caffinated" Elmo

Get down there and keep the weirdos away from Erica Hill!!

A cold weather with a warm New Year Wish from Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffith from New York. I wish you to appear at Las Vegas after three hours. Let it be the end of worst year and the beginning of hope to America and the world.

Belay Gezu

OMG Anderson and Kathy are awesome, I am laughing my head off... You never know what kathy will do next... Happy New Year everyone....

Happy New Year from Moldova, Europe!

Please tell me the purpose of Lil Wayne? It certainly wasn`t entertainment.

best New Years show in YEARS !!

Happy New Year Anderson, Kathy, Erica, CNN Staff and Everybody!

Thanks for sticking around for us Central-Time Zoners!

Now go inside and warm up! Have a Great Night!

Happy New Year to Anderson, Erica and all the AC 360 Staff. Looking forward to watching you all in 2009. You do a great job with the programming on the show.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Get warm as soon as you guys can.

It is sooo awesome to see kathy griffin and anderson cooper together hosting the new year's eve live this year. They did so well last year together and this year was also great. i really hope cnn would let kathy griffin and AC host new year's eve live again....they are awesome.

Great job AC and Kathy!

Hi Kathy & Anderson: You 2 did a good job. I sent a comment to you both in the feedback of AC360. I said while you both shouting about the NEW YEAR Ball falling about some 20s seconds left, I saw instead the big signs 2009 TOSHIBA barring the falling ball. I know it was NOT the Toshiba New Year... HEY, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO U Both from Cambodia!

hi anderson,
i always watch cnn and i love watching new year's celebration with you guys.
i hope i could experience it there in new york, the center of the universe! Its been a dream eversince.
I live in the Philippines. Happy new year!!!!!!

We love you Anderson and Kathy! HAPPY NEW YEAR from Las Vegas, Nevada

Loved watching Anderson and Kathy together!!
The best New Year show ever!! You guys were too funny!:)
Happy New Year!

I enjoy seeing NYC but oh to be warm out in Hawaii, or even in key west with Sushi.

GREAT JOB CNN ANDERSON & KATHY

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Anderson, you are simply precious. Keep up the good work. I don't think I could have made it trough 2008, if not for 360. Hope your finally getting warm! Great job......If you ever get to K-Town, dinners on me. You look like you could use some home cooking. Love y'all at CNN.

im glad i forced myself to watch it, i had to pick myself up off the floor when anderson said 'pap smear'!!!!

also, i am somewhat jealous that kathy got a partial spooning and a dance!!!! lucky girl!

Love Anderson Cooper, but Kathy is really annoying. Please pick someone better for next year! I agree with the other blogger that she interrupts Anderson too much. Sorry, but shes annoying.

It is midnight at Disneyland, Ca

My wish is to meet Anderson Cooper in the future........ Happy New Year New York City from Shoreline, WA..... enjoy your day!!!

Hey Anderson, that goofey woman you had on last night with you did not do you justice. Erica Hill would have been 1000% better

LOVED Kathy and Anderson last night. I too actually stayed up to watch the ball drop because of you guys. Kathy, love the D-list and Anderson, love 360 with you and Erica.
Hope to see more of you and Kathy soon!
