Some might call this blasphemy. Others might simply think it uninspired. But as far as I am concerned, Anderson Cooper is this generation’s Walter Cronkite. He’s about the most trustworthy and earnest reporter on the air, with an appreciation for both severity and humor. So, with great pleasure, I deliver the news that Cooper’s daytime talkshow, Anderson, has been renewed for a second season.
Anderson debuted this past September, and has been airing on the WPIX 11 station. For its second season, Anderson will move to WNYW, the local Fox affiliate.
Whereas the Cooper of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360º is the man with whom the public is more familiar—the journalist who, for instance visited Port-au-Prince almost immediately after the earthquake in Haiti, and rushed to the attention of an injured young boy—the host of Anderson offers us his lighter side, the side that has the liberty to speak about topics of cultural interest. Cooper remains adroit at delivering hard news with his always wise and unique perspective on 360º. But in all honesty, he could be reading the weather and I’d still call it a broadcasting triumph: the more of him on television, the better.
