''New Year's Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Special Co-Host Kathy Griffin'' is an annual program broadcast on CNN. It originates live from Times Square in New York City.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cooper, Griffin To Ring In CNN's New Year )〕 It covers the traditional ball drop live, but also reports on other New Year's Eve celebrations across the country and around the world. It is a competing program to similar shows such as ''New Year's Rockin' Eve'',''All American New Year'',and ''New Year's Eve with Carson Daly'' in the United States. Overseas, the program is simulcast on CNN International and available around the world. The program has drawn controversy and attention, largely with respect to Kathy Griffin's antics, comments, and double entendres. ==History== The show first aired in its current format on December 31, 2001 with CNN correspondents in Times Square hosting an informal, news-based, New Year's Eve celebration show. For New Year's Eve 2002, Anderson Cooper took over as host from Times Square. It was originally 30 minutes, but expanded to 90–120 minutes starting in 2003. Originally it featured live look-ins of several concerts, but by 2007, the musical acts had been eliminated. In contrast with other nationally broadcast New Year's Eve programs, most of which focus solely on the celebrations in New York and/or go off the air shortly after midnight Eastern Time, ''New Year's Eve Live'' features various CNN correspondents in the United States and abroad reporting on the celebrations marking the New Year, including continuing coverage of New Year celebrations past midnight Central Time. The Pacific Time Zone is covered only by tape-delaying the East Coast event coverage, and there is no coverage or countdown for the Mountain Time Zone. Among the annual locations include: *Times Square *Key West - Where Gary Marion (a drag queen who performs as "Sushi") rides a ruby shoe down to ring in the new year.〔(Key West's ruby shoe is coming down! )〕 *Nashville and New Orleans - Brooke Baldwin reports from one of the two. *Gary Tuchman rotates between numerous smaller celebrations across the United States. Among the guest correspondents over the years include: Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow, Ed Henry, and John Zarrella. The show currently airs after a special edition of ''Anderson Cooper 360°'', which also originates live from Times Square on New Year's Eve. Unlike ''New Year's Rockin' Eve'', the current framework of the show does not feature any musical performances, nor any pre-recorded party scenes. The coverage of the ball drop itself and the aftermath are typically done without commentary, and the atmosphere and sounds of Times Square are the only audio for several minutes. As such, the customary playing of the songs "Imagine" by John Lennon just before the drop, "Auld Lang Syne" as recorded by Guy Lombardo just after the ball drop, and "Theme from New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra, "America the Beautiful" by Ray Charles, "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, and "Over the Rainbow" by IZ, all after the ball drop, are usually covered. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Year's Eve Live (CNN program)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
