Despite some rumors circulating around social media, CNN has not fired Andy Cohen but released a statement saying Cohen was talked to and that he would be back as a host next year.

Alongside Anderson Cooper, Cohen was hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve countdown when he poked fun at ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve broadcast while referencing the smoke coming from “Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers that are performing behind us.” He added, “I mean, with all due [respect], if you’ve been watching ABC tonight, you’ve seen nothing. I’m sorry.”
