Reflecting on the journey, Anderson clarified that he didn't have an immediate liking for Andy. "I wanted nothing to do with him," he joked. "We went on vacation together and discovered that he is actually a wonderful person and the life of the party." Andy chimed in, noting that he "found" Anderson to be "more lifelike" than he initially appeared.

The dynamic television duo initiated their collaboration as co-hosts of the New Year's Eve show, stepping into the role vacated by Kathy Griffin. Over the subsequent years, their on-screen partnership has garnered widespread attention and virality, particularly for the entertaining and funny episodes where they engage in live shots of liquor during the broadcast.
