You only had one job, CNN

The CNN crew might have been stone-cold sober this New Year’s Eve, but that didn’t completely protect their broadcast from mishaps. Host Don Lemon completely missed the clock striking midnight in New Orleans, tossing out beads to the crowd as the band played “Back That Azz Up.” …

As midnight approached, Lemon had made it onto a stage and was merrily tossing Mardi Gras beads to the crowd as Juvenile’s 1999 hit “Back That Azz Up” blared.

The countdown clock on the screen ticked down to zero and CNN’s split screen showed fireworks going off in Nashville as Lemon seemed unaware it was midnight for a few moments and then trying to hear something in his ear monitor.

“Y’all ready for this countdown?” Lemon shouted as the crowd cheered.
