Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are jumping from New Year’s Eve shots to Fourth of July fireworks.

The duo, who have held forth the past several years as hosts of CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage from New York’s Times Square, will now do something similar on July 3.  “Independence Eve Live with Anderson & Andy: Celebrating 250” will feature the dithering duo in the Crossroads of the World, counting down until a ball drops to honor the nation’s semi quincentennial.
