There is only one thing that every host is required to do when they are hosting a New Year’s Eve special. And that is to do the countdown to midnight.
However, a sober Don Lemon missed the one for the central time zone because he was singing and dancing with everyone in New Orleans. And you know what, they didn’t care because they could drink, unlike Lemon.
It is pretty sad when the most trusted name in news can’t even get the countdown right. But that was not their worst offense of the night. Keeping all of their on-air people sober was their biggest mistake.
Here is hoping they get rid of that policy next year because it was a big fail, just like everything the new head of the network has been doing since he started there.
