Lunch Break Video: CNN’s Anderson Cooper explains to Seth Meyers why he assumed he was gay

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper paid a visit to Seth Meyers’ new NBC late night talk show on Monday and shared with viewers why he once thought the host was gay.

It seems Cooper, a well-known gym rat, once saw the former Saturday Night Live writer and news anchor at a gym in Manhattan and jumped to conclusions.

‘It was pretty much the gayest gym on the planet,’ Cooper said, ‘And I assumed you were gay, ’cause… there weren’t a lot of other reasons to be there.’

Ironically, Meyers had assumed Cooper was straight until he came out publicly a few years ago and said: ‘I assumed (the gym) was straight because you were there.’

Meyers, who married a woman last September, added: ‘Now that we’ve set the record straight that I’m not gay…’

Joked Cooper: ‘Oh sure whatever, if that’s how you want to play it Seth, go right ahead.’

There is a bit of a gay connection between Cooper and Meyers, however.

The two literally fought to marry the gay Stefon character played by Bill Hader on an episode of Saturday Night Live during Hader’s send-off from the show last spring.

You gotta admit, Anderson is tons more fun since he came out publicly in 2012!
