CNN's favorite New Year's Eve tradition is to reduce their prized anchor and professional silver fox Anderson Cooper to uncomfortable gigging at comedian Kathy Griffin's ridiculous on-air antics (which have previously included dropping the F-bomb and stripping down to her bra). Cooper, who has ducked rocket bombs in Gaza and pulled a Haitian child from a riot, faces Griffin each year with palpable anxiety.
A few minutes after midnight Tuesday (around mark 1:50), Griffin bent down and smooched Cooper's pants zipper after CNN correspondent Gary Tuchman, reporting from Eastport, Maine, explained why local townspeople kissed a giant sardine statue every year.
