On New Years Eve, I actually kind of feel sorry for Anderson Cooper. Gay or not, being stuck with the ugly Kathy Griffin is pure torture. Griffin threatened to appear topless on this year’s New Years Eve show. That might be a reason why ratings dropped by 40% over 2013 levels.

No matter how much pancake makeup you throw on a pig, it’s still a pig.
To compare, this year’s New Years’ Eve (or 2013’s) had just 1.4 million viewers. Check out the numbers going back to 2008:
2008: 2.31 million.
2009: 1.673 million
2010: 1.532 million
2011: 1.605 million
2013: 2.3 million
Apparently the threat promise of seeing Kathy Griffin topless backfired on CNN. The Fox News Channel’s New Years Eve special not only beat CNN in total viewers, but Anderson Cooper and Griffin’s viewership plummeted nearly 40% over last year — from 2.3 million viewers last year to only 1.426 million
