CNN's Anderson Cooper proved he is more than just a newsman when he pinch hit for Regis Philbin on Friday's "Live with Regis and Kelly" . He told a story about running into drunk girls at a deli (who he then imitates), taking fake cell phone calls to seem busy and then being mistaken for John McEnroe. All before he stole the drunk cab.

Whether Anderson's 40 or 50, I wouldn't mind looking as good as he does now.

Got news for you Anderson: YOU look 50.

I'm surprised it took Anderson so long to finally show his true colors. Journalist? Nahhh. Wanabe entertainer is all. I have no doubt, though, his act will be widely received as clever and amusing. Americans are so vapid.

Looks like Cooper is a little full of himself.

Cooper was very amusing. I don't watch TV if I can help it, but CNN liked it so much they replayed it several times late that night... as they replay everything ad nauseam while writers are on strike.

I thought Cooper's imitation was a scream, and hope some of those who emulate Britney, Paris, and others were tuned in to see what they look and sound like from a third party point of view.

"McEnroe stole my cab," was the end of it and the best part of all.

I think he's fine. Seems like a nice guy. Cares about New Orleans still when everyone else thinks it's old news. Now Glen Beck, well, he's just the worlds biggest douche who should be fired tonight and be accountable for spreading hate and lies.

Why does Kelly Ripa keep moving forward and back in her chair like a simulated sex act? It is not sexy, just disturbing. Anderson Cooper is boring and overexposed. Why do all newscasters now look like Barbie and Ken and think they are celebrities just because they can look good while reading a teleprompter?

Hilarious. For those who hate Anderson Cooper, his show is a pure invention of the guys at the top at CNN as an attempt to compete for viewers. What he says on the air is pretty much scripted, and he's probably heavily discouraged from taking one side or the other of an issue. I'm not sure why people dislike him personally so much, aside from it being simple old fartery.

That said, I used to get off work during the early hours of the morning and watch his show (sometime around 3-4 am, it's a bit hazy) back before CNN decided to make him into a walking advertisement. Back then, it was too much of a hassle for CNN to write a script for someone with almost no viewership, so the guy was sometimes kinda entertaining and generally reasonably decent as a newscaster. You could tell he really wasn't working from a script, and that he full well knew that hardly anyone was listening, so he'd have some fun with it. When CNN decided to make him the face of the network, people suddenly only THEN began to take notice...but what you were really noticing was the script that was handed to the guy. They tried to make him into a reporter in some attempt to give him legitimacy...that's purely a CNN trick.

Unless it's Glenn Beck or Paula Zahn, hate CNN, not the newscaster. Now with Fox, it's a different story...they intentionally staff up with people who zealously defend the company line at the extreme cost of news accuracy.

Regis & Kelly isn't a show I normally watch since Regis annoys me for some odd reason but I have tuned in a number of times when Cooper is guest hosting and I think he's adorable. His giggle (the most awkward laugh ever) cracks me up and he's always entertaining. He's an excellent match for Ripa and together, they make the show watchable for me.

Anderson Cooper is an intelligent, talented and well-rounded guy. Sure he can sub for Regis and then go right back to his own program and be SO serious and focused about the day's news that you forget all about his activities outside of 360. NBC's Brian Williams appeared on Saturday Night Live as an ACTOR and no one seemed to mind, so what if Anderson subs on this show every now and then.

Funny....Cooper seems to have NO humour on his show....I remember cringing when Bill Maher was on and Cooper was doing this strange, forced sounding laugh....reminded me of Rex Banner on The Simpsons "Well you all know what laughter sounds like"
