Andy Cohen revealed what it’s really like co-hosting CNN’s New Year’s Eve celebration alongside Anderson Cooper.

The Bravo executive said that the “most annoying” part of hosting the event from New York City’s Time Square is that Cooper can get the “giggles” toward the end of the night.

“Well, [it’s] that I have to be the straight guy,” Cohen recently told People.

“Literally, he’s in a puddle of giggles for the last 90 minutes of the broadcast, and I’m the one that’s hitting all the commercial breaks.”

Cooper — who has been a part of CNN since 2001 — will return with Cohen to co-host the special for their eighth consecutive year.

“I kind of turn into Mr. CNN for the last 90 minutes, and he turns into Mr. Bravo,” Cohen, 56, said of his longtime pal.

Cohen — who has been with Bravo since 2004 — went on to call the end of their NYE bash a “very funny role reversal.”

“Literally, he’s in a puddle of giggles for the last 90 minutes of the broadcast, and I’m the one that’s hitting all the commercial breaks,” Cohen further explained of Cooper.

A few days before, Cooper appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” and revealed his pet peeve when it comes to co-hosting the NYE broadcast.

“Just who he’s gonna insult and what the clean up on aisle 3 is gonna be in the morning,” the journalist, 57, said on the Dec. 16 episode.

“Fair!” Cohen replied to Cooper’s comment.

The duo has been promoting their return as co-hosts to CNN’s extravaganza via social media with several comedic skits.

In mid-December, Cohen roasted Cooper for previously being hit with debris while covering a hurricane for CNN.

Cohen joked that he and Cooper need to be “ready” for New Year’s Eve and any possible weather conditions.

Last year, Cohen went viral for reacting to Nicki Minaj’s New Year’s resolution during the live event.

“My New Year’s resolution is to keep my foot on the bitches’ necks!” the “Anaconda” rapper said, to which Cohen replied, “Wow. Who is she referring to?”
