I keep seeing a commercial for Cascade Total Care DishSoap where Anderson Cooper plays a news anchor interviewing users of the dish soap and it makes me think that Anderson Cooper is planning to be a spokesman for Cascade Dish Soap by launching a deal to star in commercials for Cascade, Is that… More really Anderson Cooper in the commercial?, Tiki
The is reason is cause he goes to were the action is!
I've been watching both shows Journeyman and Anderson Cooper 360 and I can see that they look the same Kevin McKidd and Anderson Cooper.
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Anderson Cooper. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
All you cable news junkies must now decide between a young upstart and the granddaddy of all news networks. PLUS see who won last week's shocking showdown!

this guy has is handsome even with gray! he is one of the few that look better with age. he is an intersesting anchor to watch; he's the only way you'd ever get me to watch the news. i liked him on the mole, he was funny and cute...i found his outfits kinda creepy tho ((inside joke)) i love his laugh, like a stoner, its adorable. his news reports shows that he cares about people and that he's not afraid to put himself out there in dangerous situations. i love him
Anderson Cooper 360 is one of the best if not the best night time news show. Anderson and associates cover many and varied topics from the Iraq War to bedbugs. When there is a discussion of topics Cooper acts as moderator, never giving his opinion outright. He lets his viewers see both sides of an issue and then decide for themselves which side to take. At times you can see Mr Cooper wants speak his mind, but remains silent, which in my opinion is the trait of a good reporter.
AC360 has changed a lot during the past few years, but rest assured the show retains it's edge and great reporting style.
Let's face it. Television is a visual medium and Anderson Cooper looks great on TV. In this sense he is very appealing. Beyond that, the reasons to admire someone can be many and varied. To pinpoint that reason can be clear and easy or profound and complicated. My admiration for Anderson Cooper falls into the latter category.
I started like everybody else: I saw a pretty face, a cute smile, beautiful blue eyes... Oh, and some talent to report the news. Then, the more I admired him the more I realized I wasn't his only admirer, not even one of a small group, but that there were dozens if not hundreds of web pages and groups devoted solely to him. And twice as many blogs discussing his whereabouts, his impeccable clothing, his gray hair. Oh! and yes: whether he is gay or not?
When it comes to Anderson Cooper, thousands of people all over the world, like me, are infatuated with that person who pops up here and there on television: during the hurricanes in Florida, for the tsunami in Indonesia, to report about the war in Iraq, during the floods in New Orleans, at the mine disaster in West Virginia. Wherever there are important news to report, there you can see that close-cropped head of gray hair with a microphone near his lips interviewing somebody related to the event.
It takes a few seconds, perhaps a few minutes — and for some people it takes days and even months before they can pass through their initial surprise of seeing Anderson on their television screen before they can pay attention to the news.
I've heard Anderson announcing the news since about the time he started at CNN in 2002, which was also about the time People magazine named him one of the sexiest men alive. But I must admit that I really, really didn't hear the news coming from his mouth until about 2004.
What happened at first was infatuation, next came admiration, then envy, and finally a tremendous desire to understand the fascination with this seemingly normal — beautiful, but normal human being.
Then it was my turn to start thinking — or rather, I was able to pass the exterior and start looking to what might be inside the mind and soul of Anderson Cooper.
I have never met Anderson in person but I feel I know him by observation and by reading the many articles that have been written about him, his family and how he came to be one of the most respected and admired reporters/anchors on television.
I began to change my admiration for Anderson Cooper from "teenage" adoration (and I am a 55 year old man) to regarding him as an authentic and reputed reporter when I learned that he lived in the Chelsea area of New York City, but I saw him reporting from all over the world, often at a moment's notice, and all the time his demeanor was very professional. I started thinking that if it had been me I would have been very angry with my boss or bosses for sending me all over the world when there were other reporters to send. I would have needed some home time sooner than later. But Anderson kept going and showing up wherever he was needed. Then I realized that by the way he was reporting, so effortlessly, so professionaly, so in charge and for such long periods of time, that he was actually enjoying himself; or at least enjoying his job, if not the news he was reporting.
From a young age — when his hair was still dark, and when, according to legend, he bought his own video camera and went to Burma and Somalia to freelance his first job, he was so comfortable being himself that his effort turned out to be very productive. From what I've read about Anderson, I understand that this remarkable quality to be at ease doing what he loves most, reporting, has translated into an appealing trait that most people see as attractive and sexy, as friendly and professional. It's not that he isn't all these things but that he IS all these things because of the comfort that transpires from doing his chosen profession.
One more testament that he is very comfortable with himself is the fact that nobody really cares whether he is gay or not. As I mentioned above, there are hundreds of web sites and blogs dedicated to this debate — some agreeing some disagreeing; but all united in one fact, whether he is gay or not they all still like him.
His easy smile, his painful frown, his contagious laugh, his sincere handshake when he is trying to assure somebody that his thoughts and prayers are with them is unmistakably natural, honest and adept not only to the people he is interviewing but to the public at large as well.
The reason I admire Anderson Cooper most is twofold: because, at such young age he has accomplished a milestone that most people can't accomplish in a lifetime: to do what he enjoys doing most and getting paid for it. And because he is so comfortable in his own skin that whatever he does looks effortless — and for him, it probably is.
Oh, and one other thing. He really does look great on TV!

Anderson Cooper 360° is the only TV news program I watch .. I was never a news buff , But one night I was just flipping through the TV channel's , And bam .. There was Anderson Cooper on AC360° , I never seen it before , But he was hot and that's all I cared about at the time .. Now , I watch it becuase he's so gd gorgeous , But also becuase when he's reporting something , He gets to the important information and fast .. There's no stalling to tell you something .. When theres something heartbreaking to him that hes reporting about , Youll know it .. He's not afrade to show the real him .. He dosent put on a show and pose as someone else , Or pretend he's someone else , He's himself at all time , And for that I will always admire him for .. There's to many other ancormen out there who are posers and arn't blunt enought .. Not Anderson hes 360° blunt
Anderson Cooper is one of the best newscasters I have ever seen because he's not afraid of facing the harsh elements (his hurricane coverage is one of the best I've ever seen). He also goes where no other primetime newscasters EVER go. This week he's in Niger focusing on the horrific famine that is going on there. Do you see Brian Williams there? Anderson cares about all these issues and you can tell just by looking at his face how he feel about what he is talking about and I appreciate that from a newscaster. He is simply the best!
