For six years she has been shocking audiences across America as they prepare to ring in the new year. But this year, Kathy Griffin really surpassed herself during CNN's live New Year's Eve broadcast when she simulated oral sex on co-host Anderson Cooper as well as making jokes about his 'sack'. Even when Cooper had to take a minute from the upbeat, lighthearted show for some serious news on the fiscal cliff negotiations in Washington, Griffin told him it should be called 'the fisting cliff'.
Viewers continued to be shocked and appalled at the comic's continuous racy jokes and outlandish behavior - which CNN have come to expect from Griffin. CNN hired her again? National correspondent: Gary Tuchman reported live from Eastport, Maine, right, where the custom on new year's is to kiss a statue of an eight-foot sardine that they drop from the town's museum.
To which Kathy responded: 'I don't know what Anderson has been doing this past year. I assume he has been sitting, eating Bon Bons in his mother's apartment [while] watching reality TV, while I was helping spread democracy in Egypt or Syria or whichever. About ten minutes into the program, the year-old told the CNN host she was going to 'tickle his sack'. As he giggled nervously back, Kathy quipped, 'You can say sack, that's not bad.
Trying to cover her tracks, Cooper said: 'I don't know what you're talking about. I have no sack of gifts here,' to which Kathy responded, 'You're calling your privates your Christmas presents?
But it was after the ball dropped at midnight the real fun began. National correspondent Gary Tuchman reported live from Eastport, Maine, where the custom on new year's is to kiss a statue of an eight-foot sardine that they drop from the town's museum. As the people of Eastport kissed the sardine, Griffin dropped to her knees in New York's Time Square and kissed Cooper's crotch over and over again.
