LOL: "Kathy Griffin" Showed Up on Fox's New Years Special

A day old, but worth a watch even if you've already seen it.

CNN had a hell of a night. Brooke Baldwin, who had herself a nice little aneurysm over a guest saying the only two things he believed in absolutely were "the first amendment and boobs" -- she was so distraught over this throwaway line she had to terminate the interview -- made a crude joke about having bigger "balls" than deeply stupid man Don Lemon.

So, Brooke Baldwin is a very special snowflake about things said in her vicinity, but feels free to get a little naughty herself.

Baldwin said during CNN’s News Years’ Eve coverage, "By the way, my balls are bigger than your balls."

Lemon said, "probably."

I'm not sure which of them has bigger balls, and I'm not sure I really care to know.

CNN then embarrassed itself still further by what can only be called pro-pot propaganda, with lots of giggling from its hosts.

During the liberal cable news network's year-end broadcast from Times Square, reporter Randi Kaye did several, um, "hits" from Denver, where marijuana is legal. At various points, she held a joint, lit a bong, marveled over a special gas mask used by stoners and wondered where she was. Kaye didn't partake herself while on the air, but the bit was enough to appall some viewers and confuse people who might be locked up for doing the same thing.

"CNN is trying to trademark the debauchery as its brand for New Year's Eve coverage. I mean that quite seriously," Media Research Center President Brent Bozell said on Tuesday, while explaining that the network no longer has comic Kathy Griffin using obscenities to attract viewers. (Griffin was famously fired after she posed with a fake decapitated head made to look like that of President Donald Trump.)

CNN then welcomed the new hosts of its Crossfire reboot, "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong.
