CNN was providing live New Year’s Eve coverage from across the country as we rang in 2017. For anchors Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin, that meant enjoying their time in New Orleans.
Lemon was the life of the party throughout the night, pounding tequila shots and entertaining the crowd.
As the night went on, it was clear that Lemon was, as the kids call it, “lit.”
Lemon even went as far as to get his ear pierced live on the air from the bar CNN was broadcasting from.
A completely hammered Don Lemon just got his ear pierced on live TV. That’s some quality television. Take care of him please, @BrookeBCNN. 😂 pic.twitter.com/d7rMJl5v9q

As the night went on, Brooke Baldwin got to play therapist as a hammered Don Lemon spilled his heart out for his “New Year’s Resolution.”
Don Lemon is so drunk right now he’s spilling his heart on #CNNNYE for his New Year’s Resolution. 😂 pic.twitter.com/52npFU7Pmc

There was even some singing.
Sing it, @donlemon! #CNNNYE pic.twitter.com/1pi40lldiq

I guess the realization of a Donald Trump presidency finally hit everyone at CNN.
Stay thirsty, my friends.
