Anderson Cooper to host daytime showYes, everyone, it looks like the rumors are true: Anderson Cooper is indeed moving to daytime. The CNN host has signed a deal for an hour-long daily daytime show that is set for national syndication in Fall 2011, according to a statement. The aim of the show is to cover the stories everyone’s talking about around the “water cooler,” and will focus on everything from social issues to pop culture, human interest pieces to trends and events. On top of hosting this new daytime show, Cooper will still man the desk on CNN's “AC:360” weeknights at 10 p.m.
By interviewing a mix of celebs, newsmakers and real people on the daytime program, Cooper aims to “create a daily destination for multiple generations of women looking to be informed and entertained, gain perspective, and stay connected to each other and the world around them,” the press release said. He’s also expected to host town hall meetings on engaging topics like race and infidelity. “Over the course of the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a number of daytime programs,” Cooper said in the statement. “It’s fun and interesting to work in daytime television. The format is unique and you can really go in-depth on a wide range of fascinating and compelling stories. With this new program I hope to relay important information and relate to people and the audience in a completely different way."

Gotta love all the AC bashers. You guys can't even articulate one good reason as to why you don't like him. This guy is as professional as they come, period. We would get better quality news if every journalist was like him.
Anderson Cooper is the best reporter on CNN he goes to where the action is and cares about the people. He still goes back to New Orleans and reports on the progress since Katrina, I quit watching Larry King several months ago, and will not watch any news if have to watch FOX. Hope he does continue to be on 360.
I like your sense of humor,,,,CNN host has signed a one-hour Daily Show during the day is set for national syndication in the fall of 2011, according to the statement. The aim of the exhibition is to cover the stories of all the talk around the "fresh water", and focuses on all social issues and pop culture, human interest pieces for events. On top of hosting a new daytime show, Cooper continues to man the desktop on CNN "AC 360" at 10 pm on weekdays, a combination of interviews with celebrities, newsmakers and people during the day program is designed to Cooper, "to create a daily destination for generations of women want to be informed and to be born, to get the perspective and connect with each other and the world around them," said the press release. He also looks forward to hosting town hall meetings to pursue subjects such as race and infidelity.

I think we have reached the era where we no longer have to announce that we are gay just like we don't have to announce that we are straight.

i totally love anderson cooper. besides espn sportscenter, ac 360 is my favorite news program. he puts his all into the stories that he reports on and tries very hard to be fair to those who appear on his program. he is not afraid to get down into the trenches and report on the stories that really affect mankind. i watch his show every night and i am glad that he will continue to do ac 360. i wouldn't mind if they just put him in the 8pm-12am slot. great journalism, keep up the good work anderson!
Anderson looks like the cat that ate the canary in that picture above...lol
Good grief, do you all work for CNN and are providing free advertisement for Cooper's new show? "Oh, I just love Anderson." "Oh congratulations, Anderson" "You're so hot"........GAG, enough already. He's just another CNN
"reporter" that's the male version of Joy Behner (sp), but who cares....she's a pain too! Talk shows and reality shows...
more wasted air time.
I converted to CNN on 9/11/2001 because I was moved by the reporting of Aaron Brown. He was intelligent and emotionally connected with what he was reporting. I was not a person who used to watch news shows but I was riveted to his reporting. I stayed with CNN when he left but kept thinking I'd leave CNN because I didn't like AC. I kept hoping CNN would agree with me. AC started to improve for awhile but then, "Keeping Them Honest", a self-righteous angle that encourages the ire of the audience, began. Pairing this with CNN Heroes does not balance out the negativity of his nightly self-righteousness. Now you're giving him a daytime show but keeping him on at night plus Thanksgiving and New Years' Eve!! Can't you find anyone else besides him other than Elliot Spitzer? With "keeping them honest, how can you give a big job to Elliot Spitzer?!?! What hypocrisy. Where are your values CNN? Can't you find anyone else intelligent besides Spitzer? If AC is going to focus on where folks are letting us down, why put on Spitzer and then give AC a job like Heroes? With finding it harder and harder to avoid AC, now Spitzer is the last straw!! I'll tune in for Fareed Z and for Sanjay G but you've finally lost me.
Well, I guess those of you who choose to make the topic the fact that AC is/or might be gay clearly demonstrates the bullies of the adolescent age continue to be bullies.................only grown up now. You are no better than those children who bullied that 13 year old until he killed himself........
Gay or straight- AC is a respectable, compassionate, honest, intelligent person...........
Anderson, you do realize men also watch daytime TV, don't you? Good luck and glad to hear you are still on in the evenings, even when women of all generations are watching!
Syndication: KACHING!
I've been "In Love" with Anderson Cooper since his days on "The Mole"! He is so cute and his laugh makes me smile. Gosh what is Kelly going to do without her Anderson to fill in when "The Reg" is off? Anderson is a top notch journalist, he gives it his all when doing his stories. The bottom line, he is a really nice guy and does so much for people in need! I only wish him the best when he starts his new show, I'll be watching! Love you Anderson!
I can see him doing a lighter show, as he does on Regis. But please no more celebrities. How about more of the CNN heroes type thing- something that might have some redemptive value, please....
Anderson, YOU ARE THE BEST....CONGRATS!!!!
The news as I read this article says it will be the perspective of what conversations are going around the "watercoolers" in the business world. Women were mentioned, but there are more than woman home during the day. Sr. citizens from 55 up to 100 are listening to TV, too. Some students that haven't got classes all the time, also. Anderson Cooper's night show is up there with interesting stories. I love his keeping them honest, there is so much dishonesty in our society today.
Anderson's the main reason I watch CNN (other than Larry). DON'T EVER LOSE HIM, CNN!!!!! Best of luck to you, AC, on your new gig.
Anderson Cooper is the people's reporter. I LOVE him. I'm watching.
Anderson Coper is a true gentleman -not too many of those around these days, You can always rely on him to be truthful and not dodge the important issues. Keeping them honest is so helpful to keep us all informed. I'll be watching his new show. Thanks CNN
Anderson Cooper is the people's reporter. I LOVE him.
Yay Anderson!! Best of luck and I'll be watching you and cheering<3
Unlike everyone else on this blog, I loathe Anderson "I'll agree with you as long as you're not white and conservative" Cooper.
What a horrible waste of talent. Human interest, pop culture and events? How sickening.
Anderson Cooper likes it in the pooper.
I love Anderson Pooper, he is the next Oprah !!!!
I hope he comes out of the closet before his new show starts. Once and for all.
Where have you been? He has - it's public knowledge.
Oh!!!! I just love Anderson Cooper.....................Yippee!!
Well! At least I'll know where my wife is for ONE hour during the day!!! She is lovin' that man!!! I was interviewed on CNN about the King Monument fiasco and she went down to the station with me. She told me to my face she was only going with me so she could find Cooper's dressing room. She told me that's where she would be. LOL
when arron brown refused to stop his vacation to report on katrina anderson cooper replaced brown and we all got a bargain. anderson cooper is a true journalist. his delivery is through and interesting..his manner is gracious. when complemented he is humble. this charmer will do well wherever he decides to go. as for "is he or isn't he" who cares. i just want to enjoy him-my sleeping arrangements are private and his should be also.
Mr. Cooper ROCKS! I hope his professional integrity will not be compromised.
yay for the gays like me in daytime....Andy,Nate,Sara,Ellenjudge Alex!!!!
I'm sure AC will keep it real on the new show. I also hope it doesn't get a little out of hand in terms of being too "The View" or Ellen with all that clapping and hollering and silliness.
AC does have a great sense of humor and I love his honesty, intelligence, I just hope his reputation doesn't get affected by stepping into that more mediocre strange daytime slot. He's the best out there in the business.
HE LIKES BLACK MEN ONLY. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IS TRUE.
He likes black men only.
Love Anderson! He has such a great personality!! Politically he's very balanced unlike some other 'news' shows!!!! Looove everything he does!! Can't wait for the show! I'll be sure to set my DVR!!! I wouldn't mind if he replaced Regis either! haha sorry regis!!! LOL
A fraud is a fraud no matter what. Get a life.
I miss Aaron Brown.
if anybody deserves their own show it's Anderson... Smart, cute, talented and does an excellent JOB. Smart move CNN.
i'm sure all those "women" are busting at the seams. i wish you the best.
YAY! It's about time. I love Anderson Cooper and DVR Regis and Kelly, just case Anderson will be co-hosting. This is fantastic!
Ho Hum, He can lie with the best of them. The bought and sold out media has another golden boy and this is supposed to be some kind of news. He has been groomed for this and it comes as no surprise.
U R A doooooosh.
Excellent! I hope he maintains his standard of excellence and humor. Plus, he is so cute (couldn't resist).
Why is the show only aimed at women? Do they still think women are the only ones home during the day like good little housewives?
He will certainly improve the daytime scenery.
I'm sure it will be STYLISH just like him....
http://www.thethrifters.net
I love Anderson too. Maybe in this format he'll feel more comfortable coming out of the closet without jeopardizing his journalistic integrity. And he's so fun to watch on Regis and Kelly. He'll do great in daytime. Yay Anderson!
Wish you the best you are number one well! 3ick Sanchez is number one too.
I really liked Anderson Cooper....until the last 3 interviews that he did.....what is going on? .If the individual interviewed thinks like him, then the interveiw is delightful....if it opposes his opinion, he is brutal.....I don't want to hear his opinion, I want to get a sophisicated revewiof the news...that is why I watched him in the past.
Is Anderson Cooper getting caught up in the hype?
What a surprise. We love Anderson, and now we will be literally getting a double treat. I appreciate his honesty and resilience in the midst of chaos. I think he's gonna do well on daytime. I still love watching 360, I hope he doesn't leave CNN. It would really be a valuable loss.
What impresses me most about Anderson is that he lost a brother due to suicide and has moved on to have such a successful life. I lost a daughter to suicide and I see Anderson has a fabulous inspiration to myself and others who have endured this horrific tragedy.
Margery
I bet he will be taking Oprah's time slot. Fall 2011, hmmm That's when Oprah ends!!
Hehehe – so he's taking Geraldo Rivera's and Maury Povich's route – of course, of course, it's promotion, after all the teabagger will now compete with Oprah's audience, known for thir astuteness. Hehehe – Anderson Cooper's gotten his broadcast TV day show – love it –
Women? Why does he assume only women watch daytime TV? Seriously, will men never get the subconscious put downs? And I like Anderson Cooper......disappointing.
Good Luck on your new daytime show. I know you'll do Great..
I don't know about you, but I find it highly insulting for the press release for the new daytime AC show to characterize it as “ a daily destination for multiple generations of women looking to be informed and entertained." Apparently CNN is under the misconception that only females must be home during the day (and lazy and stupid ones at that), certainly no males at all. They might want to reconsider the fact that millions of men AND women are home during the day, some unfortunately due to job loss. And today, almost all households are two-person breadwinners, with women pulling equal weight working sometimes two jobs during the day to make ends meet. Get with the twentieth century, CNN. This assumption is insulting.
Oprah will be gone. Someone is trying to fill up the void.
Congratulations Anderson Cooper! You have integrity. Please cover stories that real people care about. Please expose the names of corporations that ship jobs overseas one by one and let us know what products they make. They are ruining america. Please expose them even if they advertise on your shows or on other CNN shows. Please question why everything is now made in China. Why are we just consuming products and not manufacturing. Next time a new holiday gadgets come out, please tell the american people where they are made before we all go crazy over them. Please continue to hold politicians accountable for the claims they make so that american people aren't confused and we need to know their ties to corporations. Please expose the role of Swiss banks in allowing african politicians to loot the continent, keeping the money overseas wny generations suffer.
Lastly, a little advice for CNN. I also watch Rick Sanchez, love the show as well, but can CNN let him come on his morning show 1 hour later. STOCKS SEEM TO TANK DURING HIS FIRST HOUR. JUST AN OBSERVATION. But I love watching him as well.
GOOD LUCK MR. ANDERSON COOPER! FYI! My daughter attends UCLA and she keeps your 8 by 10 photograph in a picture frame by her window. She just has a lot of respect for you.
I respect Anderson Cooper's work unless he starts interviewing wanna be "stars." You know like Kate Gosselin? He couldn't nail her on the tough questions. Everyone hates Kate Gosselin but he was schmoozing with her right along with Kelly. Be a real journalist and do the tough questioning even if the HIGHER UPS tell you not to. Don't be a pawn.
i love it if u can continues like this
I love Anderson Cooper. He is a great host of his news show as well as a "roll up your sleeves and get into the fray" kind of guy. His work after Katrina and again after Haiti was stellar!!!!! He grew up a privileged child yet has compasssion for all those that have less. Anderson – you are wonderful!
ANDERSON! I know are going to get more money, but now you are leaving us all to the "non news land"
Without you in the national news market how are we going to know who is championing for right?!?!? I wish you would stay and "keep them honest" you were my last newscaster I could trust to deliver the important stories and not the fluff that brings ratings. You were my new Dan Rather and Peter Jennings. As a 30 year old I will now have to search for hours to find the real answers to my questions- I will miss you asking the hard questions. Now you will have to bow to the almighty advertiser. 🙁 You will be missed!
Anderson Cooper is a mouthpiece for the far left.
Why is it immature to speak about one's orientation? Is it immature to mention Anderson's blue eyes? Both can be considered features of someone. To suggest that it's immature to speak about one's orientation not only suggests that you feel it's solely used in a negative context, but also suggests that you might think being gay is bad.
"Hollywood" Cooper? I sent CNN an email about Hollywood using a "fake" video in one of his shows. I saw the same video the next day and it had nothing to do with Hollywood's report......Never recieved an explanation. Since than my posts don't seem to get listed. The Controlled News Network doesn't like it when it gets caught. Cooper is a fraud.
Hey idiot.. This isn't FOX! Where the whole news cast is fake! Go cry somewhere else!
Raving Lunatic
Your name sz it all. No further questoins STUPID I mean LUNATIC!

Nowayjose71
what do you care what other people support??? This story is about someone getting a new gig. No a forum for don’t ask don’t tell....
I like how something positive has turned into everyone else opinion about don’t ask don’t tell / isn’t he gay? What’s he trying to be the next Oprah? Next time one of you has exciting news to share with your family or loved one, you're wont be met with they same nonsense and horrible feedback..
Thank god for you Andersons authentic reporting.!
I like Anderson Cooper's interview style and hope he has great success with this new show.
Congratulations Anderson! I totally called this move months ago when he switched the format of his Friday shows...the ONLY person who could actually replace Oprah! Cannot wait!
There is a war going on PEOPLE.
Yes, there is and CNN is covering it just fine over on the U.S, World and Politics pages. THIS, is an ENTERTAINMENT blog stupid!
So Anderson... I take it you will be the new Oprah!?
Well, I live on Earth, where racism, bigotry and hatred run unchecked. Welcome to Earth!
Dont you people have anything else to do?
No, we don't, but obviously, you don't either.
Anderson Cooper's "orientation"( as cnn wont allow me to use that S*x word) is no ones business but his own, same as yours...think about that. We all love AC. He is a compassionate, intelligent individual(and yes HOT,lol) He was born into $ and could do anything he wants yet he cares about people and issues and is an asset to society in general. All you haters, go get a life.
The man does one hell of a job.He has more balls than all who is bashing him.If you get a chance read his book,if you can read!
I'm very happy for Anderson Cooper. He's one of my favorite people on t.v. He drills down into a story to get at the truth. He cares, most of the time. I miss him reporting on hurricanes with John Zarella. Those two reporting together were very good.
Also, the reporting about Katrina, the oil spill, the earthquake in Haiti, the tsunami were phenomenal! Great reporting!
Personally, I wish they would put AC360 at an earlier time slot so I can watch it in the evenings. Right now it's on too late, I have to get up early in the morning and I'm not a morning person. I have been following his show at 5 a.m. the following morning.
Also, his new show should not only be aimed at women. It should be aimed at women and men. Women have concerns, likes, disklikes and so do men. It just isn't fair to leave them out.
Who cares?
RU kidding??! Coop, you're like Obama - you can't form a complete sentence without a teleprompter. Geez, what happen to basic speech skills.
Anderson Cooper is H.O.T!
I have totaly stopped watching CNN but AC could make me tune back in
I love Anderson! He always presents both sides of an argument or situation with intelligence and humour. It will be great to watch him in both time slots in 2011. Big fan from Canada! Thanks Anderson for your special style...
Anderson is such a liberal tool, the only people who like him are women and gay guys. I for one am glad to see him gone from the evening time-slot.
@ roscoe... what an insightful comment. Though I should expect it from a teabagger like you. You are obviously uneducated because you can't read...he is not leaving his evening time slot.
I think Anderson Cooper's new syndicated daytime show will replace Oprah's time slot.
I used to see this gorgeous man at Reebok Sports Club. I wanted his white butt then... and I still do. Hey, Anderson... CALL ME!
AC just lost all journalistic credibility with me.
AC. I like your AC360 and LKL, only two program I can hold some time to watch on CNN. When you move other shows don't loose your genuine brand of honest news, please bring real people to your show not this so called fake celebrities and cooperate giants.
Anderson very nice guy heart in the right place. However it is time we had a real world news not a program that includes reporting on celebrities. Americans are not informed because the like of CNN does not do its job, News on the Cheap how about sending reporters out into the world and giving us information that informs. Instead of these panels that discuss politics how about getting the politicians on and holding there feet to the fire. Anderson three nights of repeating the same subject usually after Larry King has already bored it to death as well. Come on CNN dont make me go over to FOX that will be really plumbing the depths.
I certainly hope Anderson's new show is much, much more then "entertainment TV", god knows there's more than enough of that around. Hopefully he will continue to investigate the types of stories he has in the past. I don't think I could stand another "fluff" program.
Also, why would his daytime program be directed towards women only? Don't men watch TV during the day ? If you're looking to draw women only, watch Lifetime TV or one of the networks devoted to women. As a woman, I'm insulted and appalled to think I would need a special program to "create a daily destination for multiple generations of women looking to be informed and entertained, gain perspective, and stay connected to each other and the world around them", rather then watching regular TV programming. Do the networks think women watch only the soaps, game shows and programs like Dr. Phil, Oprah or Jerry Springer? Programs like "60 Minutes", "Dateline" or "20/20" seemed to be watched by both genders. It's really unfortunate a journalist of Anderson Cooper's caliber has been reduced to "fluff" and entertainment journalism.
I really like him, I enjoy his show 360 even though when it comes to Islam issue he doesn't invite people pro Islam that are qualified to speak and explain the truth of Islam, he only invite that Somalian Woman who convert from Islam or somepeople who are not qualified to talk Islam. Anderson be fair.
That's because he's a Conservative. Contrary to what people think Anderson is actually a Republican. He never puts those redneck guests on his show in check; he just lets them go on and on and on. And he hates Obama.
I used to like Anderson Cooper. That was until he almost single handedly destroyed the Gulf Coast economy by his negligent and over the top reporting of the Gulf Oil spill. Because of Anderson Cooper, and those like him, it took a big problem and turned it into a tourism and lodgin catastrophe. Why else would beaches and resorts that were in no way physically affected by the oil spill be empty? Negligent reporting. His "keeping them honest" section often put the most outspoken people on air, but they rarely were actual experts. One of his go-to guys was actually a history professor at Rice, and not an expert at all. Lost a lot of respect for him. He made it up by reporting his own over sensationalism of the even near the end of the crisis however, but not nearly enough.
Anderson grows on you...I like his tenacity and systemic darts when he argues with the bad guys...he really strips them exposes them to all of us.
As a security advisor to the Government on critical infrastructure and university educator, I would like to have few minutes with him on TV.
"By interviewing a mix of celebs, newsmakers and real people, Cooper aims to “create a daily destination for multiple generations of women looking to be informed and entertained, gain perspective, and stay connected to each other and the world around them.” So Anderson is aiming to be the new Oprah? Who woulda' thought?
Him announcing that he's gay will be like Ricky Martin. They don't have to; everyone already knows it. He can still get it though.
"Coop" is one of the BEST, that CNN has EVER had. Best of luck in the new endeavor "Coop".
I love Anderson Cooper! Can't wait to check out the new show.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE ANDERSON COOPER!!! I would rather sleep with a gay Mr. Cooper than a straight dude any day. He's got so much to offer....looks, brains, intelligence, wit, and a wonderful sense of humor. I wish I could turn him straight! haha oh well
Anderson, Congratulation! Wonderful news... and I look forward to more Anderson! Keep it factual! Not talk show!!! Thank you.
Hey guys, will you visit SaveStan.ORG a friend of mine with 4 young babies is fighting for his life.......Thanks
Anderson, Congratulation! Wonderful news... and I look forward to move Anderson! Keep it factual! Not talk show!!! Thank you.
Humanistic, humble,forthright = integrity.....we'll continue to get this from Anderson. So what was CNN thinking when they signed Spitzer?
Maybe CNN will bring back Aaron Brown for some real journalistic work.
Tell him to take his 37 viewers with him.
Anderson Cooper needs to learn some more facial expressions. He always looks like hes stumped on some math problem or something..
congrats thats my guy AC360 is superb keep the good work up
I don't care if the guy's a little light in his loafers, I'll still watch Fox!
Smart, professional, approachable, confident, courteous, visually appealing....and maybe gay ! sounds like a win win for anyone.
Mr. Cooper has come a long way since his days of hosting The Mole – which he did very well. I love his reporting and am glad he will not be leaving 360. He an Christianne Ammanpour are two of the best on television.
Apparently, this is 1950, and only women are home during the day (and DVRs haven't been invented).
No, it's 1980 and my VCR still blinks 12:00.
Not only is Anderson brilliant, but is knowledgable, charming and will be a wonderful asses to daytime TV
Come on...the only reason he gets these gigs is he is Gloria Vanderbilt's son! His live reporting is a joke. They better have the teleprompter ready or he will be studdddering and sammmmmmering througout!
What I'm getting out of this is that he's doing two shows?
It say's he's still doing his 10pm show, but that he's also going to be doing a daytime tv show next year. If that's true, people can get their fill of crap and celebrity stuff (along with a little news) on his daytime tv show, and then get the news and all the issues more in depth on the nightly show (as per usual).
Should be interesting to see how this all pans out. And if both his shows are going to be on CNN or if the new show is going to be on a different channel (ABC/CBS/NBC)
i didnt even read this article i just think he's soooooooooooo fine!!!!!!!!!!!!
So do his boyfriends!
How wonderful ! No doubt about it ,it will be an interesting and enjoyable hour. He has class, has a sense of humor and what's most important is that he is intelligent .
He only seems intelligent to the less intelligent, when in fact he is naive.
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU IN YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVOR!!! I want to take the opportunity to say a Big THANK YOU!!! because of the way you covered the earthquake tragedy in Haiti...Please ,Please we need you to continue on exposing the corruption in Haiti. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF FANS IN THE HAITIAN COMMUNITY!!!
THANKS A MILLION!!!
Thank you for all you have done to the Haitian People. You and Dr. Gupta are the most popular in the Haitian Community after the earthquake
I should have said For and not To in the previous text
Does this mean he's going to dress like an actual professional reporter or is going to continue wearing those painted on shirts just to show off his upper torso? Talk about vanity.
I'm just crazy about Cooper, and not just because he's a silver fox. He has interesting people and subjects on 360 and I hope that his daytime show will be as good.
Hmmm. Was hoping he was going back to doing 'The Mole'. Oh well.
Anderson Cooper is one of the classiest guys and I watch anything with him in it.
Always fair, always balanced and not bad to look at either.
He is not fair and balanced, he is a lackey for the far left.
Why does every conversation have to do with someone is gay or straight. People in our world waste so much time on this. Anderson Cooper is one of the most honest and hard working journalists we have.
Ann, couldn't agree more. The fact that this is even a point of discussion just shows the extreme immaturity of the human race. Grow up people! I find it interesting that these comments are coming primarily from males....jealous much?
Hey, ann-in-taos...are you really in Taos? What's a good place for lunch there?
What? A gaytime show? For Anderson??? ;>
I enjoy watching Anderson on 360 and news shows... but this.... I'm sure the show will do well, but I think it is a bad career move... I'm shocked that he would even think to do this. (perhaps he is tired of working nights?) re: "for multiple generations of women looking to be informed and entertained, gain perspective, and stay connected to each other and the world around them,” the press release said. ummm, in case no one told anyone: WOMEN already have all that shtuff.
if I were psychic: I would tell him, this is a bad move. I cannot say what a bad bad move I think this is. It's going to put him in the frying pan. But, people arent really psychic are they? Good luck, Anderson. Dont let Kathy G. on your show... its what made CNNs ratings go down.... wow.... i i am sad : (
I couldn't agree with you more teresa.
Most excellent! (Our new Oprah)
Anderson Cooper is the only true journalist in the United States today. He is fair and anchors a fair news show that everyone can relate to. I like how you grill politicians from all sides when they lie about something or when they misinform the people. Anderson good luck in your new Endeavour we really love you for what you do for America, common sense and true journalism that is who you really are.
Agree. Very good at what he does. Keeping them honest fit for him. He's smart. Not fluffy. I like that. 😉
A little bit fluffy is ok. He seems to have the right balance. But, there are WAY TOO MANY seriously important things that this country needs to concern itself with that are completely glossed over. That's not good for our country. Campaign reforms to stop corporations from corrupting our government beyond recognition is one. (Agencies that we thought were protecting us are directed elsewhere...our kids won't recognize any of the agencies that our parents had to protect them...we didn't have them in our generation...we just got sick anyway. If we can't swing this back to something with a conscience, I'm afraid we are doomed in a generation or so.) Our health care is something close to the worst in the world in countries that claim to have much for a health plan. We need a national health plan. We can't compete in a worldwide market with countries that have a national health plan. This plan being proposed sounds more like something the insurance companies cooked up. They never come up with anything that makes sense and we have to spend more money to get rid of the things they come up with. Same with professional licensing boards that are holding people up in school (more money for them) to protect wages and not meeting the needs of the people. So, once again we are at the dangerous side so someone else can make money. We won't even go into pharmaceutical companies (Read Selling Sickness), or manufacturers that try to influence policy to put more money in their pocket over protecting our health. It's pretty bad actually. Some towns are so highly specialized because hospitals compete so bad that that doctors are split between several and people suffer and die in those towns due to inadequate and incompetent health care (see Sioux Falls, SD). There's plenty to be concerned about. Helicopters...look at how many crash.
And getting off of oil...dealing with our energy consumption problem. Hands down...most important.
I love Anderson Cooper!!! He speaks extremely well and makes his stories interesting. I also love it when he replaces Regis. Plus he's easy on the eyes!!!
Amen to that! 😉
i totally agree! he is such a cutie. He is a very handsome, intelligent man who does a great job @ CNN. He is my CNN hero for the true heart and soul that he puts in to his job!
With Ocra leaving, he'll be Queen of Daytime!
You are so NOT funny. Jerk
Neither are you, jerkette!
LOL....Oh, good come back! Loser.
You love me, i can tell.
Busted!
You two need to get a room already.
And we know you'll be watching... 😉
Dag Nabit! I guess this means Anderson won't someday be taking over Regis's position with Kelly? Bummer, they make an excellent team and I always look forward to the Fridays when he's the guest Co-host. Good luck Anderson and congratulations!
Good for him. He works hard and deserve it. He is actually a Vanderbilt. Its a very rich family with a lot of history. He decided to use Cooper so he won't be associated with that infamous name. I guess he wants to make a name for himself and do it on his own. Very humble guy.
Wrong dummy. His Father's name is Cooper, his Mother was Gloria Vanderbilt. Geez, if you're going to act like a know-it-all, at least get your facts straight.

All joking (I'm not really joking) aside, the man seems like a good candidate for daytime on one condition. He does not allow the system to manipulate what he feels is important. What ever the format, make sure truth plays a large part of what is discussed and presented. Just because group A gives money does not mean group A's agenda should be exalted. There is quite enough puff in politics. We don't need it in talk shows.
How amazing it would be to know Anderson read our comments, right? Anderson, don't be one of the untouchables bro. Reach out to your fans (me personally) and let us know you appreciate the support. I'll be sure to tune in and watch Mr. Cooper's new show. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Now help me get where you are! I'm jealous!
Anderson is always a joy to watch - even when he's reporting on bad news. I'll definitely check out his new show. Did you all know he's Gloria Vanderbilt's son?
wasn't his mother the one who said that she didn't design her jeans for black people?
Love Anderson Cooper, I know Anderson will do great. He is a great person and great journalist. The media needs more like him.
I love those blue eyes and his silver hair!
I LOVE Anderson. He is the most credible down-to-earth person CNN has on its journalistic staff. AC360 is my favorite CNN show and I never miss a night. Anderson covers all stories with honesty, no bias, and with same questions and concerns I as a viewer would want to ask on the issues of the day.
More Anderson is a GREAT thing for CNN. Lord knows cable media needs all the honesty, integrity and character it can get! Anderson is the most trusted name in news.
What a waste of a good journalist.
Anderson clearly understands solid journalism and intentionally and deliberately abandons those principals when he wants to advance his agenda. Perhaps one of the more dangerous journalists because he knows how to turn it on and off.
I suppose he will continue in his usual style of talking through anybody he doesn't agree with.
When Anderson Cooper comes on I switch channels. Aaron Brown was better.
I am a fan of Anderson, but I really enjoyed Aaron Brown at 10.
By interviewing a mix of celebs, newsmakers and real people, Cooper aims to “create a daily destination for multiple generations of women looking to be informed and entertained, gain perspective, and stay connected to each other and the world around them,” the press release said............................. What about the generations of men also? LOL I mean I like watching his shows afterall.
rob, how do you know he's gay? Mind your business, I love Anderson Cooper, I really enjoyed AC360. Good Luck with you're new show.
Dolores - he and his boyfriend share a home in the W. Village in NYC and his boyfriend owns a gay bar called Eastern Bloc - it's not really a well kept secret that he is gay and has a partner, he just chooses not to discuss it publicly because it's nobody's business but his own.
Cant wait to see you and Kathy G. for New Years Eve!!
Mr. Cooper has officially lost me. What happened? He used to be one of the best. This greatly saddens me.
No matter what anyone says, Anderson Cooper is a great journalist whether he does AC360 or the daytime show! He's got what it takes so stop the bashing. And since when did it matter if he were gay or not? It doesn't matter because he does a great job. Congratulations Anderson! I'll definitely be watching and I can always tivo so I won't miss a thing!
I'm glad to hear about his daytime show. However I panicked when I was reading it and thought he was leaving CNN. Thank God I can still see him on AC 360. I look forward to seeing him when I get home from work. I just love Anderson Cooper. Keep up the excellent work.
James Harvey Robinson: Inspirational Quotes on Greatness
Each of us is great insofar as we perceive and act on the infinite possibilities which lie undiscovered and unrecognized about us.
Love Anderson, he's the best of the best. They could not have picked a better person. Love him on CNN hosting AC:360 at 10pm look forward to seeing him in Daytime.
I like Anderson Cooper. He is one of the top hostes. I am sure he will do a wonderful job and his show will be very informative and will be great to watch. Looking forward to see more of him.
I read this with some hesitation as I thought Cooper was stepping down from 360 but as it turns out, we just get more time with him. Big fan, keep up the great work!!
"By interviewing a mix of celebs, newsmakers and real people..." There you have it, celebs and newsmakers are not real people, admitted by none other than a newsmaker.
Queen of the pole smokers!
Rasta, you really sound like a d*ck.
So? What's your point?
Just an observation...
alrighty then....
Anderson, Anderson how cool is that? I think you have enough class to make this a great show! Love ya!
Anderson, I love you man. You do a great job, you really understand ALL!
unlike you, eh Chico?
Rastas, for someone who claims to dislike Cooper... you're still here. 😀
DianD, I never said I dislked him. Just making fun of this guy Manuel.
I was just thinking the other day what a great interviewer/journalist this guy is. I wish him success in all his endeavors. The media needs more like him.
Sounds like a demotion to me! I had a lot of respect for Anderson until he came out with that totally biased story a few weeks ago "Do Illegal Aliens Really Take Jobs No One Wants?" and used farm labor for the example! That's the one job they are supposed to be allowed to come here and do! How about all the other jobs "no one wants" such as anything that doesn't require a college education nowadays?
That snivelling illegal maid that they unsuccessfully tried to scandalize Meg Whitman with yesterday (it was the employment agency that passed her through with the phony I.D.) was whining that she was abused because she was only getting paid $24 per hour. Really??? I am only making $30 per hour here in the Bay area and during the crash I was doing maid work in order to survive for $10!
No, I don't respect Anderson anymore, his reporting is biased according to whatever the person with the paycheck wants him to say...
Rally... So Anderson would really get soooo much more respect if he insists that imingrants NOT take any sort of high-paying job; God forbid seek and education after paying taxes. I mean, they can still be our landscapers and toilet cleaners... right?
I thought CNN already has A.J. and Brooke doing that. The life, the rise, the fall of these celebrities cannot be related to by regular folks, CNN viewers could not care less. Anderson Cooper has such a beautiful mind why waste it on Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Whitney Houston. Anderson is a real journalist one of the rare ones on your payroll. Such a disappointment..... I guess it is all about milking the cow, isn't it?
Bounce Rick Sanchez!
Agree, can't stand Rick Sanchez......
Yayyy for Anderson! Can't wait, love 360!
love 360? That's what his gay lover said.
Perhaps he can run a story on the reverend eddie long...they could do their own knuckle shuffle and special sauce ploy!
He would be a great addition to the Village People. He can be the raving journalist in a rainbow speedo
Hey RWl - what's your f-ing problem?
Whats a matter, envious of others careers and sucess? be glad he has made a name for himself instead of the usual screaming drunk flaming gay they put on TV....that does not portray alll of us you know........Im happy for him and respect him in or out of the closet...
You would know that better than anyone... :O are you in youtube dancing YMCA by any chance?
It seems like many people need a scapegoat. Hate is hate and people who are jealous or not happy with themselves find happiness in holding on to their small minded ways. I pitty people who fill their lives with hate when happiness and love make you feel so much better. Anderson I wish you the best! You are a good person who is making the world a better place.
Oh good and bad thought he was leaving CNN and Press and Carlson would fill the 10 pm time slot again. Cooper is to wishy/washy of jounalist to take seriously.
Anderson is a great guy, gay or not, and he deserves this daytime show. I hope that he discuss topics like the ones on his nightime show but please do not bring celebrities that are a waste of everybody's time; just bring good subjects, news of great importance and topics that are always great to hear about. If he wants to bring someone good bring great personalities with a good topic to discuss like Dr. Gupta, Colin Powell or someone like Mandela, but do not bring celebrities that are discussing pictures, music or other stupidity. I know Anderson will do great. He is a great person and great journalist.
I totally agree with marie richards comment . He needs to have TV show that deals with "stories or news of real substance". Not about some celebrity's drug habit or some other kind of "fluff" content. Good luck AC.
And he is a "HOTTY"!!!
I'm sure his guests won't be tabloid story topic. I remember when Paris Hilton was in the news all the time he wouldn't even say her name. Erica Hill used to refer to her as the one who shall remain nameless..lol
Love Anderson Cooper,,,,,great news for CNN......
How about telling the Senators and Congressmen to take a patriot stand on company’s offshoring jobs. Corporations that offshore jobs are traitors and should be taxed on goods produced overseas and IT services performed outside the country. You don’t hear companies from India, China, Philippine or even the European block knocking at my door for jobs offers. In my opinion the U.S. should eliminated H1 visas and the L1 and L2 visas plus others. These visas where provide because of the lack of specialized talent that could not be found here at home. With so many people unemployed I am certain the specialized talent can be found here in the U.S.A. At least the $5,000.00 application fee for the H1 lottery visas pool companies pay should be raised to $50,000.00. This will force the companies to train U.S. workers with the specialized talent that they desperately need.
Gimme a break! He's hosting a talk show not running the country...lighten up..lol
I agree with Susan-Canada. I hope it's in the Oprah time slot, not too early in the afternoon so I can't see it, but late enough when I'm home to watch while I'm making dinner...about 4 p.m. Pacific Time...please.
Straight/Gay, who cares, Anderson is a positive reporter who does a great job. Good for you Anderson, keep up the good work and look forward to the daytime show next year.
The other night, Anderson Cooper ran a Youtube clip of a news lady picking her nose and eating it. It was very gross and ruined my dinner, but I could only imagine what this must have done to this woman's career and her life in general. I thought about her kids and how this could affect them at school, how cruel the other kids could be. Then last night, he did a segment on the kid who killed himself due to excessive bullying. I wont miss him.
Blah Blah Blah. Who cares? The freak shouldn't eat out of her nose.
Yahoo chat's down the hall
I generally think of Anderson Cooper as a serious journalist and reporter. But this new show sounds like the white man's version of Oprah. No hard-hitting news here. How disappointing.
AC impressed me as a newsman when he first came on line. Glad to see him get the recognition he deserves.
Good for you Anderson.. You're always fair and balanced in your reporting. Day time TV is fortunate to have you.
My sincere congratulations. In addition to currently presenting one of the best shows currently in that genre and time he will now have the opportunity to show a new audience what they've been missing. A good host and objective journalist.
I personally like to call him Anderson Pooper, after the famous kitty.
What a waste of talent to have this incisive journalist doing schlock TV. AC does a great job, but I hate to see him moving from hard journalism to pop culture. Cable needs more people like AC and Rachael Maddow who know what they are talking about, do their research and ask tough questions. Any no talent can do what Oprah and Regis do.
According to the report above, AC will still host AC360, and we hope he continues his journalism as he does now.
Jay if your looking for great questions and solid research on the topics I suggest you turn off CNN and MSNBC and watch The Factor with Bill Oreilly.
"Multiple generations of women" Is this show aimed only at women? What is needed is content that surprises, informs and above all, is unpredictable. Anderson's current home, CNN has become the National Inquirer of 'news' shows. Thank God for the BBC!
Good for Anderson! Any reason it's a show for women? Kind of assumes women are the only ones home to watch it. I'll dvr it and test it out, though 🙂
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing, Why are they targeting a female audience? Then it dawned on me, Oprah will be leaving a huge void that his new show can take advantage of. Nothing wrong with that. I look forward to it.
I love Anderson – he's a breath of fresh air for someone who grew up privileged (and not without tragedy). As a journalist, he breaks it DOWN for us (Keeping them Honest) and attempts to give every one their air time. I love those blue eyes and his lovely silver hair!
He is such a handsome guy! I love him! YES! Daytime talk show would be number one on my TV viewing list! Do it Anderson!!!!
Why didn't they pick Anderson Cooper to replace Larry King?
Are you kidding me. All his questions are stupid, there is no content and most of the time the answer is in the question,... but hey, he is good looking,....
Yes! I agree, no one could replace Larry, except Anderson Cooper!!! I was so hoping he would. I hate that he'll be on daytime tv because I work for a living and will miss him, but I am so thankful he's staying on 360. I couldn't bear bedtime without his honest, thorough, and sometimes intimidating reporting! He's the best tv journalist we have in this country I think! Love, love you Anderson!!!
i have been thinking the same exact thing. i won't watch that show now. i don't know who the guy is anyway. anderson would have brought a new and upbeat feeling to the show. i am glad that he will still continue to do AC 360!
i dont care what comes outta his mouth, I just love watching him speak...........hooooooooottttttttt
I don't care if he's gay and not out he's still HOT!!
Oh yesssss
I don't care if he's gay. I want to look at him, not marry him. Droooooooool.
Amen to that!!
Here Here!!!!
It's not like he's "in". He doesn't hide it, he just doesn't take out a full page ad. He is very relaxed and open around the city. He just keeps his private life where it belongs.... off the job.
Silver Fox 😉 . I love his personality and honesty.
I love Anderson Cooper. He is going to do very well. He has such a great personality and I enjoy watching him on Ac.360. Congrats!!!!!
Anderson is a wonderful personality! More of him makes life better!
I look forward to his new show!
Are you his mom or something?
ummm... good one Eric.... a real zinger.
I love Anderson Cooper. I often watch him at 10:00 p.m., and I love it when he replaces Regis on Regis and Kelly. But, I do hope his show won't be all tabloid crap. Also, I'm so sick of these shows that bring on celebrities to promote their movies, music, books, etc. I do hope though, that he is in Oprah's time slot when she leaves. But....I won't hold my breath on that, because I think I heard Dr. Oz say he was moving into her time slot in some areas of the country....oh well...
is anderson hoping to be the new oprah?
Actually, I don't mind if he replaces Regis all together. He's been great with Kelly.
If he wasn't the great grand child of the billionaire Astor's he'd be working on the Geek Squad at Best Buy. This is "trust fund baby" x 1000000. That is my opinion.
What does his $ have to do with anything? He got an education and is working for good in the world. He doesn't go around advertising his family. Just like every other part of his private life, he has chosen to keep it private.
You're the best AC!
he isn't an Astor – his mother is (was) a Vanderbilt (Parents: Wyatt Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt) if you are going to trash someone at least get your facts straight! lol

I love him, too. He' smart, very intelligent and tackles big issues. I really hope he doesn't leave AC360. After all, he is a really popular guy.
