Anderson Bravo!!!
Much better darling and i love how CNN had their logo stamp into the cutting board...CNN very nice very nice indeed:)
Miranda
Anderson, you can come and cook at my place anytime and you dont have to cut onions, I hate them!
Hi Anderson!!
I am watching you everyday at 6am ...great way to start my day!
(yes it is saturday for me now and I wake up to watch CNN AC 360)...
*to the CNN Crew: Keep knives away from Anderson!!!! 🙂
Anderson next time use a plastic knife and a foam onion. That way you won't cut yourself.
Very cute Anderson and Erica! Onion tears here~
And now, thanks to the help of Bobby Flay, Anderson won't have the same finger problem as Rahm.
Did Bobby require his name to be that big on the background screen? At least he taught Coop how to chop.
OMG! thank you soo much for having Bobby Flay on the show
who would of thought that anderson didnt know how to chop onions?!
Erica Hill, I love you for bringing Bobby Flay in and showing Anderson how to chop an onion. Food Network and Anderson Cooper...my two favorite things come together!
Anderson now go home and practice cutting onions! LOL
That is your job this weekend!
Anderson,
This is very funny!
We are all here at home laughing too ...
... you murdered the onion! lol
That was cool watching Anderson chop the onion. He did a good job.
If only I could teach you to cook Anderson.....but then again, you might not want a dictator yelling at you....and I don't want you to hate me. 😉
OK Anderson so on Monday Onion Lesson #2. How to cook the Onion. hehehe
Good Job Anderson! A little hint, if you don't want your hands to smell like onions or garlic, wash them with a minty toothpaste when you are done...it really works!
For a family making $500,000 and paying an additional $11,300 in taxes under Obama's budget, my guess is that would mean one less vacation – instead of a winter vacation in Vail, a summer vacation in Europe and a vacation in Disney World, that cuts out Disney!
Anderson chopping onions with bobby, can't get any better than that. It takes 4 ever to get the smell of onions off your hands.
Outrageous! Get that man a cooking show. Really great for y our first time.
Don't give up your day job Anderson.
I just learned how to properly dice an onion! Sweet!
Bobby Flay is great. Went to his restaurant Mesa Grill and there he was cooking away. He wasn't posing and primping; he was working with the rest of the folks!
Obviously Mr. Cooper you do not spend much time in the kitchen do you? I know cutitng onions makes you cry too and the smell never leaves you!! You learn quick don't you? Still love you though Andy!!
Good onion cutting tonight Anderson. We are once again very proud of you.
wow Anderson... do you live on take out?!
wooooowwww
Bobby Flay to the rescue!!!
See Anderson...I KNEW you could do it! BRAVO !!!!!
Anderson! Great job, kiddo! You did it. 🙂
I love Bobby Flay to help Anderson how to cut a onion with knife!!!!! That is so cool!!!!!
Can we just stand on hope? Isnt that why most of us voted for our Pres.? I mean he said CHANGE you can believe in, not Change by tomorrow night. This is America, the place people leave their own country for. To have a shot at freedom, freedom to FAIL, freedom to win. Lets get serious, can we stop relaying on the Govt. to solve our problems, and start tring to solve the Govt. problems? Or am I just a lost cause?
Becareful Anderson... Don't cut your finger off 🙂
oh how wonderful! anderson held hostage on his own show!!
im so glad is more informed and has better knife wielding skills now. lol
OMG, I would NEVER chop an onion that way! That's asking for trouble.
Buy a good processor. Problem solved.
Thank God for Bobby Flay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Onion cutting 101
You're missing the point of the Jindal story. The boating rescue story is true. There were hundreds of boaters who came to rescue Katrina victims that were turned away by our government. Check with the Lake Charles newspaper – the American Press – for story verification.
Wow Anderson really killed that onion this morning. If anyone can teach him how to chop an onion its Flay though! Maybe
Erica–I love your surprises for Anderson ;D
Keep Anderson away from the knives in the kitchen.
Good point, Claudia, about how having our credit cards canceled might affect our score. I recall hearing Suze Orman say something about that - implying that people will get a lower credit rating. The whole system is a mess.
Anderson,
you murdered the onion!
What she did to you? hahaha ...
Didn't vote for him...but, God I love Obama. He's so brilliant and cool. And Michelle...No words other than lovely. ~ L.C.
Wooooooooohoooooooooooooo Go Erica, LOL I love Bobby Flay, throw down Anderson.
Wow those are big knives!
Haha, whoa, Anderson – stressful week? Don't take it out on the poor onion! But seriously, be more careful if you actually chop stuff up at home. Sloooooowly.
lolololololololollolololollololololoolololl! I Absoulutely love the chariots of fire!!!
Anderson, do you cook? and Erica, I hope you're the next guest when Anderson fills in for Regis!
OMG! I LOVE BOBBY FLAY! Good guest, Erica!
YAY!!! Bobby Flay!!! This can't be happening!!!
NICE chopping skills...AWWRIGHT..ambush..I love it...GOOD ONE ERICA
Yay, Bobby Flay – AC needs to go on Iron Chef again...
I think it awesome that the Mayor took responsibility for his action because of the picture!
I love this segment Erica! Wonderful surprise!
@Rickki, I agree, I'm in crush haven, any time I get David and Ali on the same night, I'm excited:) And tonight we get Canty, Tom, Michael and Gary-go CNN.
