Ryan Seacrest is raising a (nonalcoholic) toast to CNN for its decision to scale back the booze during its New Year’s Eve broadcast.
The television personality, who has long hosted ABC’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he thought the network’s move to sober up its coverage was a step in the right direction.
“I don’t advocate drinking when one is on the air. I don’t know how that started as a tradition, but it’s probably a good idea [to scale back], CNN,” he told the magazine on Monday. “There’s some pretty respectable people or at least one, right? I think there’s a serious journalist and then a friend of mine who has a lot of fun, but it’s probably a good idea.”
