Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper are chiming in on Heated Rivalry, Canadian streamer Crave and HBO Max’s gay hockey series that became a surprise breakout hit at the end of 2025. The beloved pair reunited on Wednesday to host their booze-fueled annual special, New Year’s Eve Live, on CNN. “Ohhh Heated Rivalry,” Cohen said with a laugh before beginning to ask who of them would be the show leads, Ilya and Shane. “Of the two of us, you’re Ilya and I’m Shane,” Cohen confidently stated. I can’t even sleep at night without thinking about [the show],” Carlile quipped as Cooper burst out in laughter, nearly falling over.
