Anderson Cooper couldn't stop laughing during John Mayer's appearance on CNN's New Year's Eve Times Square special.
With less than an hour until 2024 rings in on the East Coast, Cooper and co-host Andy Cohen were having fun and getting back to drinking at the same time. Although they were on their best behavior this time, the hosts showed they were having fun when the “Your Body Is a Wonderland” singer tuned in from Tokyo's cat bar Cats in the Box.

Mayer remained expressionless as various tabby cats crawled around him. “That doesn't look hygienic, John!” said a concerned Cohen as Cooper giggled. Mayer remained nonchalant, saying, “I believe it meets all the health regulations, so I think it's totally fine.”
The crooner continued to share details about the bar while the CNN host had to step away from the camera and hold back tears of laughter. “He’s gone, he’s here with the fairies,” Cohen joked. The Bravo personality made his co-host laugh even harder when he remarked, “Just the shot of that cat's ass in your face makes him delirious.”
Nothing, however, could break Mayer, who kept a stoic face while feeding one of the cats – even after realizing that what he thought was a “solid treat” was actually a “gelatinous paste.”
Unsurprisingly, the moment was a hit on social media.
John Mayer being dead serious in a cat bar is probably one of my favorite things ever #CNNNYE'S. They die because of the mere presence of the cats, his blank expression, and himself. pic.twitter.com/OBn3ScupaY
