While many viewers found Cohen's drunken rant hilarious, others slammed CNN for allowing the duo them to drink on live television and for letting Cohen speak disrespectfully about Blasio.
After the incident went down, many thought Cohen would be fired. Radar reported that the media personality would not "be invited back" to host the New Year's Eve special.
The outlet claimed that senior CNN staffers were "embarrassed" to work with the news network and happy that Cohen would not return.
But a spokeswoman for CNN debunked the reports. She acknowledged to People that the host said something he shouldn't have on live tv.
But they have since addressed it and were looking forward to having him back again next year.
It appears Cohen was not fired.
