In new talk show promo, Anderson Cooper talks about growing up as the son of Gloria Vanderbilt
Busy Anderson Cooper has a daytime talk show set to debut on Sept. 12 and to promote it, he’s been answering Twitter questions. Someone asked The Silver Fox: “What was it like growing up with a famous fashion designer as a mother?”
His mother is, of course, Gloria Vanderbilt, who was already a famous heiress and socialite when she launched a staggeringly successful line of jeans.
“I didn’t really realize my mom was famous until probably when I started to be a teenager and started to suddenly see her name on people’s butts,” Anderson says. “That was a little strange. My brother and I actually used to have a game where we would count how many people we saw wearing her name when that whole thing first started.”

I met Miss Vanderbilt once. She was fabulously nice. I was very impressed. It sounds like he inherited her humor, and good natured spirit.

WELL…THAT PRETTY MUCH EXPLAINS HOW TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE GUESTS ON HIS “SHOW”. HE SEEMS TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF UNFAMILARITY. IT ALSO EXPLAINS HIS INSENSITIVITY TO THEIR PLIGHT…HE INVITES A FAMILY TO HIS SHOW AND THEY POUR THEIR HEARTS OUT TO HIM, EXPLAINING WHAT A DIFFICULT TIME THEY HAVE WITH OBTAINING PEOPLES RESPECT….COOPER LOOKS THEM STRAIGHT IN THE EYES(I THINK HE’S BEING COACHED) AND PRETENDS TO “UNDERSTAND” AND THEN I WAKE UP THIS MORNING AND THE HEADLINE READS “THE SEVEN DWARFS” REFERING TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ON HIS SHOW AND SAID TO HIS PRYING EYES THEY PREFER TO BE CALLED LITTLE PEOPLE. HE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO CNN THEY GET HIM…..HIS SHOW SHOULD BE CANCELED IMMEDIATELY AND HE SHOULD BE “TARRED AND FEATHERED” OH! SORRY THAT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE…
