Kathy Griffin Tries To Undress Anderson Cooper For CNN New Year's (VIDEO)

It's not New Year's without Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper on CNN. Every year, Griffin tries to ruffle Cooper's rather un-ruffleable feathers, and 2010 was no exception. As 2010 drew to a close, Griffin was trying to lick and undress Cooper on-air ("for America," she explained).

WATCH:

She also accidentally tossed one of Cooper's new pairs of glasses over the podium the two were standing on (though it's not clear if they were the glasses he was wearing during his Valium-heightened interview with her a few days earlier.)

WATCH:

Here's a CNN summary of how the night unfolded (and of course, Griffin went for a "ball dropping" joke about three seconds in):

Don't think anyone wants to undress Katie, but i see your point. However, if it were a male comedian, Anderson might have gone along with it, lol

Funny in parts, but ridiculous in others; if CNN wants a real comedic team, Stephen Colbert and Craig Ferguson would have far more professional. Cooper and Griffin are cute together, but just seem awkward.

Now if only HP gave as much skin coverage to Anderson as they do the Kardashians...

If Kathy G. Wasn't popular she wouldn't be there with Anderson Cooper!

I would rather see Anderson Cooper and James Franco on New Years. No offense, Kathy, cuz you're hilarious. I'm just saying.

That's the only way she can get her hands on a man.

Of course she did. It would be weird for her if she didnt.

Anderson Cooper is also great as a co-host with Kelly Ripa.

Anderson Cooper is HOT, and I don't blame Kathy for trying to get him to show more skin...too bad she failed.

Cooper is a stiff and the contrast between him and Griffin makes great entertainment. But, isn't this supposed to be a news channel?

not when Griffin is there. Although for truth she is on par with Stewart.

Really? Unlike Stewart, she is rather apolitical.
