Ryan Seacrest claims he was ignored by Andy Cohen as they hosted their respective New Year’s Eve specials last weekend.
“It was funny because my big stage was right in front of Anderson [Cooper] and Andy,” Seacrest, 48, told Kelly Ripa during Tuesday’s episode of “Live With Ryan and Kelly.”
“When I was not working, I was trying to get their attention.”
The “American Idol” host then showed Ripa, 52, how he waved to Cooper and Cohen, who were hosting CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live.”
“I thought maybe I was in the shot. I just wanted to wave and say hi. They have a great show,” Seacrest explained.
“And Anderson, the best. He turns around and he says, ‘Have a good show.’ Very nice. Andy did not turn around.”
Ripa, however, refuted her co-host’s claims and alleged that Cohen, 54, did try to say hello to Seacrest.
“That’s not true. He said he was trying to get your attention,” the “Live Wire” author said.
Page Six has reached out to Cohen’s rep for comment.
Last year, the “Real Housewives” producer dissed the ABC broadcast team for “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” which is hosted by Seacrest.
“If you look behind me, you’ll see Ryan Seacrest’s group of losers performing,” Cohen joked during the 2021 New Year’s Eve show. “I’m sorry but if you’re watching ABC, you’re watching nothing.”
After Cohen’s comments went viral, the “Watch What Happens Live” host issued an apology for his remarks.
