Seacrest leads coverage of “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” for ABC, while Cohen co-hosts CNN’s counterpart show with longtime friend Anderson Cooper. During the previous year’s show, Cohen had roasted ABC’s programming and referred to the “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” lineup as “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers that are performing behind us.” Cohen later apologized for the jab.
