In preparation for the countdown to 2023, let's take a look back at these embarrassing and gasp-inducing moments of all time during the live broadcast of New Year's Eve.
- January 1, 2023
AceShowbiz - KDOC "First Night" 2013 New Year's countdown appears to be remembered by many as the worst new year countdown of all time. The event, which was riddled by technical errors, f-bombs, missed cues and dead air, was hosted by Jamie Kennedy. So thorough was the chaos that even the countdown to midnight was off by 10 seconds.
One of the few videos of the event, which also featured appearances from Macy Gray and Shannon Elizabeth, surfaced online begins with the broadcast appearing to return from a commercial break and no one, including Jamie, was told they were live. At one point, a woman in the background of the camera mocked comedian Stu Stone. At another, the camera held for 40 seconds on a confused-looking Jamie, while audio of two men's rather vulgar conversation was accidentally broadcast.
