AC360 Digital Producer
Ok so now we’re cookin’! Thanks for watching the ‘360 Webcast’ last night! The viewers are growing more and more each day. If you watched our online show last night you now know what all the fun is about.
We had our first repeat customer: Suze Orman. She came back to help us make sense of the lastest moves on Wall street. A day when the market ended UP 400 points doesn’t mean we are out of the woods yet… and we asked Suze some extra questions about the market and your money during the break.
We talked birthdays too…. If you watched the show last night, Anderson talked about how embarassed he was for something he asked erica during the ‘360 Webcast.’ I think it was an honest mistake, but hey, I’m not going to tell you what happened - its best you just see for yourself!
For those of you who didn’t catch it - be sure to watch tonight - during commercial breaks!
all you have to do is click here - and the rest is magic!

September 19th, 2008 5:18 pm ET I saw the webcast last night and thought the reaction to Anderson’s question was hilarious. Mentioning it on air without revealing what happened was a genius way to get people to want to check it out. You should continue to refer to the webcast with inside jokes. |

September 19th, 2008 5:31 pm ET I saw the birthday section of the live webcast and really enjoyed it. So Anderson was going to bring coconut cupcakes, forgot to do it, and used the “old timers” excuse to bail himself out? Ha Ha!! Well, I really should’nt be laughing because I have used that excuse before and I am only a few months older than Erica. Are Zagnuts really “all that”? I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. but I am willing to try new candy. |

September 19th, 2008 6:02 pm ET By the way, I think that the webcast should be called: “Behind the Curtain”. I like that. Maybe they can also do some magic tricks. |

September 19th, 2008 6:23 pm ET You put your foot in your mouth this time Anderson, don’t you know any better then to talk to a Lady about her age!?! Bad Anderson! Erica should have clocked you over the noggin with that hand held mic! |

September 19th, 2008 6:35 pm ET I didn’t see anything wrong with the question of ‘do you remember your 30th birthday’ if Erica said it was ok then it was. Not like anything was revealed that shouldn’t be, isn’t Ericas age public knowledge with Wiki and all? She’s a young’un and she at least remembers hers, some of us over 40s including myself on the other hand, good luck lol |

September 19th, 2008 6:37 pm ET I thought AC would have said Erica had not yet seen 30…. isn’t there something about being 29 that is eternal? like always being 29…? |

September 19th, 2008 6:47 pm ET So this is what I’ve been missing? Since the night is still young when 360 is broadcast here on the West Coast (7 PM), I’m usually doing other things besides watching the show (cooking, paying bills, going out with friends, etc.). So I normally don’t live-blog or watch the webcam or webcast because I’m so busy doing othing things (I live-blogged when it first started, but not anymore). So it’s nice to see this now, after-the-fact, in this website. Thanks for the laugh. Lilibeth |

September 19th, 2008 7:00 pm ET Too funny! I don’t remember what I did for my last birthday either but I was pregnant too when I hit the big 30! |

September 19th, 2008 7:41 pm ET After Anderson said that to her and then stated that he did not remember his 30th birthday, I thought about my 30th and I’ll be darned, I do not remember mine and I’m only 38. I wish I could say it is because I went out and partied, but that is not the case, sadly. It was funny, but I did not think insulting to Erica. She is a good sport and can dish it out just fine. Our family loves the Webcast. |

September 19th, 2008 7:44 pm ET How about calling it ‘AC360: Extras’ |
|

September 19th, 2008 8:03 pm ET That is funny - Anderson should be careful what he says! Also is there a way to put the webcast online after AC360, so that people who missed it or CNN.com/live is blocked in their country can still watch the webcast? |

September 19th, 2008 8:22 pm ET Sorry about your blunder Anderson. |

September 19th, 2008 8:47 pm ET OK, so I don’t see what AC was apologizing for. I guess I’m just slow…or something–I dunno. Anyway, it’s fun when Anderson gets his buttons pushed, or at least when he PRETENDS that his buttons are being pushed. We get to see facial experssions that you don’t get to see everyday from an anchor. Hmmm, I guess reporting is a step away from acting, or something like that. |

September 19th, 2008 8:54 pm ET How about calling the webcast ‘What Else is Cookin’? |

September 19th, 2008 9:05 pm ET Awhhh… I didn’t see it but that means Miss Erica is a September baby! |

September 19th, 2008 9:30 pm ET And what is Erica anyway, 32 or 33 or so? It would be more sensational if she were 41 or 51. But she’s not. |

September 19th, 2008 9:58 pm ET David Thanks for posting this - it was fun to watch. Anderson is a good sport even when he gets himself in mock trouble by saying something in a way that comes out wrong - it was a good laugh with him. Annie Kate |

September 19th, 2008 10:22 pm ET Zagnuts are awesome ! Hard to find though. Maybe now that we Zagnut lovers have Erica and Anderson on board they (the Zagnuts of course) will be seen all across America |
