Anderson Cooper Reveals What Hit Him During Hurricane Coverage

As a lifestyle expert with a knack for discerning the intricacies of public figures’ lives, I must say that Anderson Cooper has once again proven his mettle as a resilient journalist. The hurricane coverage incident, though seemingly trivial, showcased not only his unwavering commitment to reporting but also his good humor in the face of adversity. It is indeed impressive how he handled the situation with grace and wit, turning what could have been an embarrassing moment into a light-hearted joke on late-night television.

Anderson Cooper is here to report what exactly went down during Hurricane Milton

Last October, as I stood on the storm-tossed frontlines of Hurricane Milton in Brandon, Florida, for my Anderson Cooper 360 hosting duties, I found myself squarely in the path of an unexpected projectile – a piece of airborne debris that left me with a surprising headshot.

And now, he can confirm exactly what it was.

During an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Dec. 4, alongside friend Andy Cohen, Anderson shared that something had struck him, causing him to reflect on his career. He mentioned that despite believing he had achieved significant milestones, there were moments in his career that he thought were noteworthy or memorable. The following day, Andy called him and suggested he search for himself online, so Anderson obliged.

Anderson confessed that he was taken aback by the multitude of articles concerning the viral incident, yet felt compelled to set straight one particular matter.

He pointed out that there were many other headlines similar to ‘Anderson Cooper struck by debris,’ which is exactly what happened. The object that struck him turned out to be Styrofoam.

Emphasizing the nature of the debris at hand, he commented, “What I’d like to highlight is that, unlike many of the hundreds of reports, this wasn’t Styrofoam.

Stephen couldn’t help but joke about the public’s perception of the anchor.

He jokingly said to Anderson, “It seems that people lack confidence in your bone structure. They believe your head is as small as a sparrow’s.

Regarding Andy, he mentioned that the public’s reaction to Anderson’s viral blunder led them to request that he ensure his co-host can enjoy alcohol during New Year’s Eve. In essence, Andy was told, “You need to provide this man with plenty of alcohol on New Year’s because of what he has experienced this year.

It was the public’s desire that came true: Anderson and Andy, who were prohibited from drinking on-air by CNN in 2022, will be able to enjoy some drinks while hosting this year’s New Year’s Eve party.

In October, Andy made it clear that he intends to ensure his cherished friend will be well-stocked with alcohol as they celebrate the new year in 2025.

In a recent interview with Variety on October 20th, the host of Watch What Happens Live confirmed it enthusiastically: “Absolutely!”, he said. “Following Anderson’s stunt during the hurricane, not only will I offer him tequila, but I’ll even aim to throw it at him!
