- I watch a whole lot of CNN. It is normally a continuing stream of doom and gloom — besides on New Yr’s Eve.
- That is when Anderson Cooper, information anchor extraordinaire, will get delightfully tipsy and says petty issues.
- This time it was in regards to the cage battle that by no means occurred between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.
Anderson Cooper, CNN anchor and CBS Information “60 Minutes” correspondent, doles out the information with the gravitas you’d count on from an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist.
However on December 31, we get to look at Cooper in Instances Sq. with the king of Bravo, Andy Cohen, getting delightfully tipsy — and somewhat bit petty. (Thanks for letting them drink on air once more, CNN.)
Such was the case on December 31, 2023, and his zinger was aimed squarely at Elon Musk over the MMA battle with Mark Zuckerberg that by no means was.
And — as any person who consumes rather a lot of CNN due to my job as an editor — I can’t cease watching this clip.
Cohen and Cooper, at 10:10 p.m. ET on New Yr’s Eve, are enjoying “Can we ‘Vanderstump’ Anderson?” during which Cohen quizzed him about whether or not a quote is from a information story or the fact present “Vanderpump Guidelines” when the subject arose of the cage match battle that by no means materialized between the “shredded” Zuckerberg and Musk.
“Are you saying Elon Musk just isn’t in fine condition?” Cohen requested Cooper.
“Sweetie, I imply, have you ever seen the yacht pictures?” Cooper responded, referring to pictures revealed by Web page Six of a shirtless Musk on a yacht off the coast of Greece.
It is not the dig at Musk’s un-shredded determine that has me watching over and over: The pictures are over a 12 months and a half previous, X’s CEO mentioned final 12 months that she noticed Musk coaching, and who amongst us does not have “get your self to the health club” as a New Yr’s decision?
The clip jogs my memory that Cooper, who typically delivers somber information from warfare zones and different websites of tragedy, is human: getting somewhat tipsy and saying one thing salty about feuding billionaires’ bods.
“I am certain he has a whole lot of high quality attributes,” Cooper added after Cohen switched topics, then supplied Musk a last piece of sartorial recommendation: “Put on a gown on the tender, is what I am saying.”
