OK, Kanye. You give me the words and I'll give you an intro to Anderson Cooper.
So do you still think George Bush doesn't like black people?

USA!
See Anderson, I told you I was cool, Kanye said so!
Excuse me Mr. West while I show you how its really done.
Haven't you heard? No more gray haired white guys get to hold the mike!
haven't you heard? no more gray haired white guys get to hold the mike!
Mr West how did you get the first lady's dress to fit in that little bitty pocket?
Gary: I am going fix that Mic! then you and I will sing the theme " Beat 360'!
Kanye: Yes, we will sing the theme "beat 360!"
Reporter Gary Tuchman pleads with Kanye West not to smash CNN's $10,000 dollar camera.
"Yes Gary, I did listen to your new demo tape, you have a very pretty voice ...I'll pass it along to Randy Jackson.."
Let's sing "The Spirit of America!"
Gary,
There are things we can not talk here. Behind The Scenes With Gary Tuchman lies not in parties, night, drink, food, women, men!
I see the HANKY but not the PANKY !
Very true! don't look at the president alike it the eyes
Tuchman: To tell you the truth, I'm not sure why I was assigned to the Youth ball. Can you give me some hip phrases that I can use on the audience?
Kanye, off the record, your song " Be the Change" touched me much, I think I need to hug you in a big way
Don't worry, the mike was off.
Kanye West reacts to CNN's Gary Tuchman singing with him, "Don't touch the amp, Gary the volume on your mic is supposed to be that low."
Cat got your tongue...well next time maybe CNN will send some one under 35...

Ya, Anderson, give me a few moments before we go live. Kanye is so cool, he needs to thaw out.
Mr. Diddy. can I have your thoughts?
Thanks, Kanye. That's a "rap".
Mr West, with all the awards you've won, you have yet to win the "Best 360" Challenge. How incompete do you feel about that?
Excuse me Kanye, may I borrow your hanky, I have a bit of a cold.
So, you're saying I just go out and sign and no one will even notice if I'm dancing bad?
I don't care who you are Mr. West, this is not open mike nite. We have a schedule to keep.
Kanye West preparing for an off Broadway remake of the Godfather, makes Gary Tuckman an offer he CAN”T REFUSE.
"Garry, what part of 'black tie' don't you understand?"
Mr West, since this is "Youth Ball", don't you think the Jonas Brothers would've a better fit to perform?
I think that white hankie would look better in my pocket!
Yes Gary, this Kanye original "hip hop pocket protector" will take the nerd population by storm!

Kanye, do you think that you can teach Anderson some of your dance moves?
Kanye, in your song "Be the Change", what was your Inspiration? Dimes, Quarters, Pennys or Nickels?
Kanye, can you tell me who designed your pocket square?
Man,
After Flying with the United States Air Force, standing at Ground Zero after the morning Sept. 11, talking with the daughter of Fidel Castro or the royal family this party is easy, easy. Anderson Cooper, wait for me ... I will have my own show.
The best part of the night was Barack's rap featuring Michelle and P.Diddy.
I'm guessing Sasha and Malia would probably prefer a White House puppy over a White House "dropout bear," Mr. West...
So given your new single "Love Lockdown" may we assume that you are opposed to closing down the Guantanamo Bay detention center?
Calm anticipation of the CHANGE to come....
Gary asks Kanye if he can have the pocket handkerchief after the show
Kanye, may I use your hanky? You're song " Be the Change" made me weap like a Fox News Anchor after the election returns came in.
Hey Kanye
Can I borrow your “hankie”?
or
Hey Kanye
Did that hankie come with the tux?

I ain't sayin' you're a gold digger, Gary. But you a'int reaching for a cheap pocket square.
"Thank you for being here tonight and supporting the President. So, who exactly are you, again?"
Kanye to Tuchman: Hey, man, you look pretty good for an old guy! Maybe a little botox ...
Well, I always thought it was called hip-hop...but I guess it's waltz music now!
