Andy Cohen Reacts to Demands Over Anderson Cooper’s Hurricane Coverage

Andy Cohen Reacts to Demands Over Anderson Cooper's Hurricane Coverage

As a die-hard fan of Anderson Cooper, I can’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie with this extraordinary journalist. His fearless reporting and infectious humor have made him a beloved figure not just on television, but also in our hearts. The incident during Hurricane Milton was a stark reminder of the risks he takes to bring us the truth. But it’s moments like these that make his New Year’s Eve specials all the more delightful.


Here’s how you could rephrase that sentence using more natural, conversational language: “This is what transpired when Anderson Cooper was struck by debris during his live reporting of Hurricane Milton.

On October 9th, I joined countless other fans in rallying behind CNN anchor Anderson Cooper when he was hit by a flying object during a storm report in Brandenton, Florida. Many of us took to social media, urging the network to make amends by inviting him back to host their New Year’s Eve special – a tradition I’ve always cherished, especially with my longtime friend and past cohost, Andy Cohen, by his side.

One way of paraphrasing the statement in natural and easy-to-read language could be: “A fan suggested on Instagram that Anderson Cooper and Andy should host New Year’s Eve. The suggestion was made because they consider them as national treasures. Andy agreed with this idea by reposting it.

The presenter of “Watch What Happens Live” also reposted a message from X (previously called Twitter), which read: “CNN should allow Anderson Cooper to pass out during New Year’s Eve celebrations for this.

Often, CNN’s New Year’s Eve special provides Anderson an occasion to relax, thanks to some drinks, after covering heavy news. However, the network had earlier mentioned limiting alcohol consumption during the show. Yet, this restriction was short-lived as Anderson and Andy returned in December 2023, still holding full glasses to toast the arrival of 2024.

 

Indeed, Anderson won everyone over when he broke out into a bout of boisterous laughter, sparked by a round of drinks with Andy and the renowned Neil Patrick Harris.

One viewer wrote on Instagram, “I want Anderson’s chuckle as a daily listen,” and another humorously said, “Thank you for letting them enjoy themselves. I rewatched this video six times.”)

But regardless who will be announced to host CNN’s NYE special this year, Anderson and Andy’s friendship will forge on stronger than a double whiskey. 

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “Over the years, my friendship with [Name] has evolved into a delightful public partnership, a journey that’s been equally enjoyable for both of us. This unique bond, nurtured by our shared experiences, is enriched further by being dad to Benjamin, 5, and Lucy, 2.” (Said in an interview for the Table for Two podcast in 2022)

With a touch of humor, she refers to them as “elderly parents.” However, she’s thankful that Wyatt, age 4, and Sebastian, age 2, who belong to Anderson, have become great friends with her children too.

In Andy’s words, “It brings me great joy to think that Ben will grow alongside Wyatt, and one day witness Anderson taking care of both Wyatt and Sebastian as they grow up.

 

But regardless who will be announced to host CNN’s NYE special this year, Anderson and Andy’s friendship will forge on stronger than a double whiskey. 

In the year 2022, Andy, a father of two young children, Benjamin, aged 5, and Lucy, aged 2, shared that our friendship has blossomed into a visible partnership, which he found enjoyable not only for himself but also for his companion. (Table for Two podcast)

In a playful manner, the Bravo personality refers to both of them as “elders,” expressing gratitude that Wyatt, age 4, and Sebastian, age 2, who are Anderson’s children, have become best friends with their own kids as well.

Andy expressed his joy that Ben and Wyatt will grow up together, and that he’ll have the chance to witness Anderson raising both Wyatt and Sebastian.
