The news anchor, who became a fan favorite after his drunken rant last New Year's Eve, spent the final hours of 2017 at The Spotted Cat bar in New Orleans knocking back drinks with Brooke Baldwin at his side. Celebrating the New Year in style, the 51-year-old didn't hesitate to take his first shot of the night.

Leading up the broadcast, fans had been hoping that drunk Lemon would make another appearance, and they weren't disappointed.

Drunk Don Lemon is the best Don Lemon. This is hilarious.

Last year, Lemon rang in 2017 by knocking back drinks on live TV and getting a piercing.
