Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper have been friends since the ’90s, but the CNN host didn’t like him at first. In fact, he told Stephen Colbert yesterday on The Late Show that when they first met, he “really wanted nothing to do with him.”
So, how did they become friends? They were set up on a blind date (that didn’t happen) by mutual friends. And as time went on, the two men kept hanging out with those mutual friends on vacations and such.
The more time they spent together, the more Cooper “found he [Cohen] is actually a wonderful person and the life of the party.”
Cohen didn’t like the use of the word “actually,” so he responded with, “And I found you are actually more lifelike than you appear.”
And that caused Cooper to do that adorable giggle that he does.
Thankfully, they became friends because that means we get to spend New Year’s Eve with them on CNN. So, on that note, will they be able to drink this year? To hear their answer, then click here!
Kenan Thompson wrote an autobiography, so he is doing a press tour to promote it.
Earlier this month, he was on The View, and he didn’t bring his mom with him. So he called her on the phone so that she could say hi to all the ladies.
Well, the Saturday Night Live star learned his lesson. And that is, don’t leave your mom at home. Therefore, when he was on The Late Show yesterday, he brought her with him.
And she loved having her time on camera when he announced that she was there.
Although, Stephen Colbert felt terrible that she had such bad seats. It wasn’t his show’s fault. She just ran late! But at least she got there.
And Kenan proved that he is such a good son, and his mom raised him right.
Case in point. As soon as Kenan walked out, he couldn’t stop praising the host. Proving that even though he has been acting for almost 30 years, he is still as humble now as he was when he started on All That in 1994.
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Stephen Colbert wasn’t feeling well. But he decided to tape that night and the following night’s Late Shows. And that turned out to be a big mistake.
At first, the pain was manageable. But then it would hurt if he moved, and if he didn’t move. However, being the trooper that he is. He completed both shows without letting the guests, including Bradley Cooper or the audience, know that he felt like he was dying.
Finally, it was time to go home, and his driver, Pablo, said I am taking you to the hospital. And the host was like, “I can sleep it off.” Eventually, his wife, Evie, was like you are going to the hospital, and I will meet you there. And husbands don’t mess with an insistent wife.
It is a good thing he went because he found out his appendix burst, and he needed surgery.
Since that night, he has been on the road to recovery. And now that we know how he was in such bad shape, we can understand why he had to take off two weeks to recuperate.
And it worked because he is looking as healthy as he did when he had an appendix. Actually, he looks even better than that. Because since that night, he has lost 14 lbs. So he declared, “Ladies and gentlemen. You heard it here first. Appendicitis is the new Ozempic.” However, don’t try it at home!
Welcome back. We are so happy you are feeling better!
Last week, Stephen Colbert suffered a ruptured appendix. Because of that, he had to miss a week of The Late Show and was expected to be back tonight.
However, he posted on Threads yesterday, “I’m listening to my doctors and continuing to rest and heal. Thank you for all your well wishes and I’ll see you soon. – Stephen”
Hopefully, he will be better soon and back to what he loves doing, making fun of that former New Yorker who moved to Florida after a four-year stay in Washington, D.C.
This is not the first time that Colbert has had to take extended sick leave from his late night show this season. He also had to take time off because he caught COVID-19 again.
Stephen Colbert is taking this week off from The Late Show, and it is not because he partied too much during Thanksgiving.
“Sorry to say that I have to cancel our shows this week. I’m sure you’re thinking,
‘Turkey overdose, Steve? Gravy boat capsize?'” he wrote. “Actually, I’m recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix. I’m grateful to my doctors for their care and to Evie and the kids for putting up with me. Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas.”
Hopefully, he will be better soon and back at work next week.
This is not the first time he has missed a week of shows this season. He also missed a week due to COVID in October.
