New Year’s Eve is all about parties and celebrations, but the real deal is the countdown till the ball drops. On TV, there are several New Year’s Eve countdown shows that have given us unforgettable moments over the years. This article is about reliving these moments. After all, we’re about to enter another new year. So, here are the craziest and weirdest New Year’s Eve on-screen moments.
Can someone ever be so generous?
On New Year’s Eve, everyone’s emotions are always supercharged; people cry over different memories and make many impractical resolutions. This explains why people kiss without much thinking on that night. Well, this was more than a kiss.
In 2013, Ryan Seacrest kissed Miley Cyrus on New Year’s Eve in Times Square. Fans almost believed the 18-year age difference didn’t mean anything to the duo, but the fact that he also kissed Debbie Harry, who was beside him, shows Ryan was just being a ‘generous kisser.’
Entering the new year on a not-so-good note
Entering the New Year in high spirits and positive energy just feels so good– no superstitions involved. For Mariah Carey, welcoming the new year wasn’t so much of a great experience in 2016.
During her performance on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest, Mariah experienced different technical issues. She was pacing awkwardly on stage, clearly feeling horrible. Mariah’s team accused Clark Production of intentionally setting the singer up to fail.
Can someone describe ‘awkward’ in a clearer way?
Even if you’ve not experienced it before, you understand how awkward it can be in the same room as a recent ex. Imagine how it’ll feel to be around your ex on live TV! That was exactly what Taylor Swift faced in 2008.
Some months after Joe Jonas and Taylor broke up, they had to stand beside each other on national TV. The crazy thing is, he allegedly broke up with her over a 27-second phone call. So they were surely not cool. Bad blood!
There’s gotta be something cool about the blue uniform
Many of us consider uniformed people more attractive, from doctors in scrubs to soldiers. But some people just show this admiration in crazier ways. After she made out with a cop in 2012, we thought Jenny McCarthy probably liked cops.
However, her shocking action in Times Square a year later confirmed that she had a thing for the blue-uniformed men. While others were screaming and jumping, Jenny bent over and started to twerk in front of different cops!
You’re weird if you didn’t roll your eyes at this broadcast
If other days are allowed to be dull and uneventful, New Year’s Eve is not. In 2017, BBC’s New Year’s Eve program anchored by Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper was a boring torture. It raised countless complaints on social media.
Their banter came off as lackluster to many viewers in that year. Well, the story did have a good ending. The duo still anchored the program the next year and did wonderfully well. Their ‘party hard’ vibe has also become so popular.
