CNN reporter Randi Kaye, sporting large marijuana leaf styled earrings, lit a bong for a pot smoker during a live broadcast on CNN’s New Year’s Eve show Sunday night hosted from Times Square by Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. She was also seen several times holding lit joints on air.
Video posted online shows Kaye placing an unlit ‘gas mask’ bong to her face while she is reporting from Denver, where pot is legal on the state level, on a party Cannibus headed to a ‘puff, pass and paint’ party. Kaye then hands the bong to a man who tells Kaye the bong is “stuffed” with cannabis. Kaye is then seen on air lighting the bong for the man.
CNN is literally smoking weed on air and 2018 is already going to be amazing #CNNNYE http://pic.twitter.com/zImteIPrbO

Later Kaye does a live remote from the ‘puff, pass and paint’ party where she is holding a lit joint. Kaye then shows a man smoking a pot smoking device called the ‘incredible.’
Video from earlier in the show of Kaye on the bus grabbing a lit joint from someone.
Note: While it is clear a giggling Kaye got a contact buzz, Kaye was not seen directly smoking pot on camera.
While pro-pot people cheered, there was also pushback online as well as astonishment.
really @cnn , this is where your morals have landed in 2018?
Old ladies and gas mask bongs?

Can someone explain why CNN is showing people smoking weed with a bong??!! My kids are watching this for the ball drop and I had to turn it all off! Obviously, they have no idea what to do with the show without Kathy Griffin.

Thought I’d let my kids watch the Times Square coverage on @CNN since it’s only 9pm here. Until they started showing how to use a bong. Wtf CNN?
