Ryan Seacrest made it clear that he thinks Andy Cohen snubbed him when they taped their New Year’s Eve specials side by side in New York City’s Times Square on Saturday.
The 48-year-old American Idol veteran said on the morning show To live! with kelly and ryan that Cohen did not recognize him when he was standing only 10 feet from him. He later added that Anderson Cooper, however, was cordial.
But Ryan’s co-television host, Kelly Ripa, who is close friends with Cohen, interrupted Seacrest, arguing that Andy tried to say hello but couldn’t get Ryan’s attention after several attempts.
Fight! Ryan Seacrest made it clear that he believes Andy Cohen snubbed him when they taped their New Year’s Eve specials side by side. Ryan said on the morning show Live With Kelly And Ryan that Cohen did not recognize him when he was standing just 10 feet away from him.
It all seems to come down to what he/she said in what has been an ongoing feud between Cohen and Seacrest over the years.
The topic came up when Ryan seemed upset by the alleged slight by Cohen, the host of Watch What Happens Live on Bravo.
“It was fun because my big stage was right in front of Anderson and Andy,” Ryan began. “When I wasn’t working, I was trying to get his attention.”
Seacrest then explained that they were so close that they could have been on each other’s screens.
Ryan’s Story: Seacrest shared, ‘It was fun because my big stage was right in front of Anderson and Andy. When I wasn’t working, I was trying to get his attention.’ Spotted with Liza Koshy
‘I thought maybe I was in the [CNN camera] shot,” he added. ‘I just wanted to say hi and say hi.’
Next, Ryan gave support to Andy’s co-star Cooper.
‘They have a great show. And Anderson, the best. He turns around and says, “Have a good show.” Class. Class. Andy didn’t turn around,” Seacrest said.
Ripa didn’t seem to think Seacrest’s story was valid. She said it didn’t play out like that.
The morning show queen was not on the scene as she had no hosting duties on New Year’s Eve; she was rather at her house in New York with her husband Mark Consuelos.
But Ryan Loves Anderson: Next Ryan supported Andy’s show and co-starred with Anderson Cooper. ‘They have a great show. And Anderson, the best. He turns around and says, “Have a good show.” Class. Class. Andy didn’t turn around,’ Seacrest said.
She says no: Kelly Ripa, who celebrated at home with husband Mark Consuelos, said Andy tried to say hi
But she said she talked to Cohen. ‘That is not true. She said that she was trying to get your attention,’ Ripa chimed in.
‘Really?’ Ryan answered. “Honestly… we’re 10 feet from each other doing the show.”
This comes after Ryan and Andy had a fight over alcohol. A week ago, Seacrest told Entertainment Weekly that it was a “good idea” for CNN to ban alcohol consumption on the air.
Last year, Cohen, 54, said he had been drinking on air. And he caused quite a bit of controversy when he referenced the ABC broadcast Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve when he referenced Ryan Seacrest’s ‘group of acting losers’.

“I’m not advocating drinking when you’re airborne,” Ryan said in what was thought to be a jab at Andy.
‘I don’t know how that started as a tradition, but it’s probably a good idea [to scale back]CNN’.
Seacrest then went on to reference Andy and co-host Anderson.
The media personality said: ‘There are some pretty respectable people or at least one, right? I think there’s a serious journalist and then a friend of mine who has a lot of fun, but it’s probably a good idea. Though viewers would probably wish they had more to drink.
Ryan Said Stop Drinking: In November, CNN decided to tone it down as Ryan supported the move, saying, “I don’t advocate drinking when you’re on the air.” I don’t know how that started as a tradition, but it’s probably a good idea. [to scale back]CNN’
“But I think at one point they had something to say about my show, and I’m sure it was because of the alcohol because I don’t think they would say what they said about our artists if they weren’t drinking.” But, you know, I think our show is bigger and broader and we won’t drink until 1:05 in the morning.
Seacrest then showed that he had a sense of humor when he joked that he would try to appeal to his fellow hosts.
He concluded: “Although maybe I’ll send them some Casa Dragones Tequila just to tempt them while they’re on the air.”
During last year’s broadcast, Cohen launched verbal jabs at Seacrest during his live broadcast while theirs were occurring simultaneously.
“If you look behind me, you’ll see Ryan Seacrest’s bunch of losers performing,” Cohen told CNN viewers while co-hosting with host Cooper.

Bad Call: Cohen (seen on WWHL) later expressed regret and admitted he was “overfed” as he claimed he was “stupid and drunk and sorry.”
“I’m sorry, but if you’re watching ABC, you’re not watching anything,” Cohen added rudely.
Cohen later expressed regret, admitting that he was “overfed”, as he stated that he was “stupid and drunk and he was sorry”.
He later said on his SiriusXM show Andy Cohen Live: “My only regret is to say, my only thing is that I criticized the ABC broadcast and I really like Ryan Seacrest and he’s a great guy.”
This comes after Kathy Griffin shared an old TMZ clip from five years ago.
Lashing out: Kathy Griffin lashed out at Cohen for the way the Real Housewives creator treated her after he replaced her as co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live five years ago by posting ‘Phew. Every year someone sends me this clip on New Year’s Eve’
It showed Real Housewives creator Cohen trying to be funny by filling in for the comedian on the CNN broadcast, in which he pretended not to know her.
The cut became a scar that continues to ache for the Emmy winner who wrote on Instagram on Saturday: ‘Ugh. Every year someone sends me this clip on New Year’s Eve.
Referring to the Watch What’s Happening Live host, he continued: “This guy was my boss for years.” I decided whether or not he worked at Bravo. Can you imagine seeing your ex boss on TMZ like this? Oh!’
She referenced rival show Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with posts on Seacrest and guests including Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus wrote: “Anyway, I can’t wait to see Miley and Dolly tonight.”
