The “dump” button involving a 7-second or so delay would not have made sense on New Years Eve. Imagine those poor suckers who watched CNN on a delay? No, the real idiocy is having the b1t¢h Griffin on in the first place.
Makes more sense than hiring Griffin. And they could've axed the delay right before the ball drop. They could've gone to commercial, dropped the delay, then come back after telling Griffin to lose the filth for a couple of minutes.
