Cheatsheet reported that Cohen promised on Instagram to continue his tradition of getting Anderson Cooper drunk on live TV. Cohen has joked before that Cooper is a lightweight when it comes to drinking.
Cohen had COVID a second time in December, Cheatsheet reported, leaving quarantine just before Christmas and in time to participate again this year. He first had COVID in March 2020 and was both vaccinated and had the booster.
At first, Cohen said, he thought he was sick from his booster before he was diagnosed with his second bout of COVID, People reported. He said he had to send his young son to stay with the nanny because he couldn’t understand why he couldn’t be close to his dad.
“I had gotten a booster that Thursday, and so then I thought I was sick from the booster — that I was having a reaction to the booster. And then two days later I was like, ‘Wait a minute, this is quite a big reaction.’ And I got pretty sick. But I’m all better now,” he said.
