CNN anchor Don Lemon's drunken New Year antics

2017-01-02

[New Orleans Advocate] "CNN Tonight" anchor Don Lemon was the most liquored name in news Saturday night.

Lemon, who co-hosted the network's New Year's Eve coverage from New Orleans, ended the night with a freshly pierced ear, a tequila hangover and the distinction of being the first TV personality of 2017 to have his microphone cut off during a live broadcast.

Lemon had just ordered up another in a night-long series of rounds -- pouring some, drinking many from behind the bar at the Spotted Cat Music Club on Frenchmen Street -- when the network apparently had heard enough.

"I need a little more. Pour me a little more. A little more. Perfect," Lemon was heard saying just after the clock struck midnight. "So, 2016 was awful."

Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me

Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home
And I can hear the band begin When the Saints Go Marching In,
And by the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans, I'll be there

I'll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,
The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice
And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,
Make sure that there's a Dixie moon, New Orleans, I'll be there

And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss,
And Claiborne Avenue, me and you Sam Jones and all

And I wish I was in New Orleans, 'cause I can see it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
New Orleans, I'll be there

#1 Somehow "liquored" and "CNN" just seem to go together.
