They barely acknowledge each other when Cooper hands off to Cuomo but Cuomo tells Don Lemon "I love you" every night.

Anderson Cooper is a huge cunt OP. Nobody likes him.

by Anonymousreply 1October 30, 2020 1:29 AM

Cooper lost an hour of his show to the golden boy, Cuomo so I bet Anderson is bitchy about him. Chris is 100x hotter and is overall a better broadcaster and he gets bigger guests. Anderson is probably bitter

Anderson is better than Cuomo. He seems to have warmed up to him a little, but he definitely doesn’t love him.

by Anonymousreply 3October 30, 2020 1:34 AM

Cooper loathes douche-bro Cuomo. You can see it in his body language when he hands off his show to Cuomo. Completely understandable and justified reaction by Cooper, as Cuomo is an insufferable, pontificating, smarmy, and snarky goomba.

My suspicion is that Anderson wasn't pleased when the network gave Cuomo the second hour of AC360 - and then threw AC the bone of an online-only program, Full Circle. And anyway the 'throws' are just devices meant to hold viewers on the channel. The Cuomo-Lemon throw has become a little over-the-top in its fawning, best buddies banter often ending with "I love you, bro".

I agree but notice that the show-throw each evening between Anderson and preceding show-host Ms. Sourpuss -- I'm sorry, actually I meant Erin Burnett whom I'm sorry to say I can't stomach -- seems even more obviously frosty to me.

The uncomfortable hand-off between these two makes me laugh. It's the equivalent of the bookish, theater geek being paired with the wrestler jock for chemistry lab in high school. Neither knows exactly what to say to the other b/c they come from polar opposite worlds.

Then, the hand-off to Lemon basically makes me want to chuck.

by Anonymousreply 7October 30, 2020 3:28 AM

Did Anderson want to keep his extra hour now that he's a single father? (Yeah I know he probably has a posse of nannys)

Chris Cuomo comes across as insincere, calling everybody brother and using pretentious affirmations like "Let's get after it" and "Together, as ever, as one." His bro chats with Don Lemon have gotten longer to the point of annoying. I can't watch him anymore, he's become way too phony and self-important.

by Anonymousreply 16October 30, 2020 10:03 AM

Ugh, I used to like Chris but he just bullies the guests he doesn’t agree with but talking over them and it’s just obvious. Just let them speak and THEN refute what they say. Even O’Riley on the Spin Zone or whatever did that.

And the whole “my bruthaaaah” with Don Lemon is just grating, as is their primly shaking their heads and implying that anyone Chris had on who didn’t agree with was RACIST.

I don’t need to be spoon fed “wokeness” by CNN. I still enjoy AC, though.

And yeah, Burnett is a sourpuss, lol. I guess she’s just trying to be taken sersiously.

Anderson is appalled by Cuomo in terms of social class, ethnic origin and his general borishness but still wants Chris to pound him with his big thick Sicilian cock. Normal WASP behavior. That explains the dynamic.

by Anonymousreply 19October 30, 2020 10:33 AM

Anderson’s serious interviews are good. His day to day stuff is tiresome with so many “ you know”s thrown in nearly every one of his remarks. Don’s Take has to be among the most embarrassing 10 minutes of TV. Cuomo’s mannerisms are repetitive and irritating. However, when Cuomo listens to one of his guests, he reminds me of a Chaturbate Host waiting for tokens.

I can’t speak to Cooper but I’ve worked with Cuomo. He’s awful. Horrible temper, arrogant and really nasty. I’m surprised how many of you are defending him. If you had to spend any time with him you would quickly change your tune. The looks quickly fade when you have to deal with his behavior in a professional setting.

Even if Cooper is bitchy and quiet, I would take that any day over Cuomo who gets off on screaming and humiliating people.

Anderson Cooper was best when paired with his late mother.

They were charming together.

Anderson Cooper is at his worst paired with Andy Cohen.

They are obnoxious together.

Chris Cuomo is a hot and ruff straight guy . He's a total alpha that makes Anderson look and feel like a skinny white woman.

I think Chris sends Anderson back to high school.

It never really goes away.

It's very obvious that Anderson does not like Chris in the handoff.

But Chris got Anderson's second hour and then got better ratings.

by Anonymousreply 27October 30, 2020 2:04 PM

Its something like R19 but I don' think Cooper hates non-blue-blood hotties at all. But he is probably shy and waits to see if he has any pull on the hotties. Like his longterm boyfriend was a swarthy French hottie. If Chris prolapsed Anderson a couple times, Anderson would get over it. In stead, Chris got 1 of AC's hours, and AC didn't get Chris's sausage and sauce, so, he's all clammed up about it. Anderson takes himself seriously as a TV journalist and achor. He did ALL the work, it's true. Followed all the steps. Cuomo has done the work as well, but not for as long as AC. Journalism is is ACs lifelong career. They are rivals.

I find both Cuomos hard to take. They both address the public as through we are all morons. Very condescending. No one cares about Andrew Cuomo’s daughter’s boyfriend.

by Anonymousreply 30October 30, 2020 3:18 PM

Cuomo the younger is a ridiculous joke, who has only had his career because of his background, his decent aging and plastic surgeried looks, mafia connections, because he is a normalish straightish Mediterranean guy, the not caring about journalistic standards of the newer CNN leadership, a few other things and that even political TV has become very much about popularity and looks; also the elite has become pretty dynastic vs meritocratic. He is really incompetent and hasn't learned his craft well, and would fit in better in a The Real Housewives of Long Island type of show, job: son.

A few months ago, there was a thread about Chris Cuomo losing his temper on some guy (in a restaurant) who called CC "Fredo." There was video, too. I'm not Italian and not sure about how much of an insult "Fredo" is to an Italian. But the reaction did seem inordinate. He must blow up on his family for some stupid shit, too.

by Anonymousreply 32October 30, 2020 5:39 PM

I think sometimes Anderson's upbringing,--however free-spirited and artsy his mother was, she was *still* a Vanderbilt, and her kids were raised as one, not as a Cooper--gets in his way. The older he gets the more uptight he seems. Thank god for the occasional snarky eyeroll, or I would wonder if he had become a pod person.

That said, he's been in the inner circle since birth, and a lifelong New Yorker, so maybe he has something on the Cuomo's that we don't know.

by Anonymousreply 33October 30, 2020 6:01 PM

R33 Free spirited and artsy upbringing? His father had a heart attack right in front of him and then died when he was ten and Anderson had such heavy anxiety that he became a child model to make money because he was worried about his family finances despite his mother being wealthy beyond belief. Then his brother jumped out the window of their high rise and committed suicide in front of his mother when he was a young adult.

by Anonymousreply 34October 30, 2020 6:58 PM

And their mother didn't feed them and kept them hungry throughout their entire childhoods. That made Anderson develop a lifelong eating disorder.

Chris Cuomo is insufferable. Anderson is rightfully brief and professional with him. No faux bros required.

Anderson is a vey serious journalist. There's genuine affection between him and Wolf Blitzer. There's respect with Tapper, Gloria Borger, John King, Dana Bash, etc. But he doesn't like Erin Burnett or Chis Cuomo. And Lemon isn't that bight. Anderson likes Laura Coates the African American lawyer. Cuomo is an asshole. I wonder who likes him. He and his brother are so obnoxious. I think Andy likes intelligent, competent people.

Erin Burnett doesn't seem to get along with anybody. There is never any banter between her and Anderson, nor between her and Wolf. Anderson and Chris have the rare chatty exchange, but it's always tense and extremely awkward. The last tepid one I recall was Chris congratulating Anderson on the birth of his son.

I don't get the tension since Anderson's type is the good-looking, hot-bodied alpha type. And Chris obviously doesn't mind the gays; he and Don give each other virtual brojobs at every handoff. And he loves the body worship comments on his Insta. Anderson has the better sense of humor of the two, and despite his privileged upbringing, he seems to be the more down to earth of the two. He was friends with Kathy Griffin for crying out loud. Chris seems to be very controlling and even domineering. He and AC probably had a few disagreements that just left AC in permafrost mode when it comes to Chris. AC and Don Lemon don't seem to get along either.

I wish we had some insider gossip on the whole dynamic.
