In New Years Eve coverage news: Kathy Griffin made some odd simulations on Anderson Cooper during CNN's broadcast New Years Eve. We'll just say she tried to kiss Anderson's crotch. In Kathy's defense Anderson was asking for it, when after a few minutes into the broadcast he brought up a Twitter comment that there could be a drinking game whenever he giggles at Kathy's jokes...then this conversation happened... "I'm going to tickle your sack," his comic co-host immediately said. "You can say sack [on air.] That's not bad.” “I don't know what you're talking about. I have no sack of gifts here," Cooper stammered. "A sack of Christmas presents. I did not bring a sack of Christmas presents."
