Anderson Cooper and Gayle King were guests on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last night. Cooper and Cohen are famously good pals, so perhaps the latter felt able to push the envelope a little with his quips and questions.
In one part of the show, Cohen asked Cooper was his dating deal-breakers are.
For example, would journalist Cooper date someone who asked him to make a personal sex tape?
“No,” replies Cooper.
What about someone who “asks to bring a third into the bedroom?”
Again, Cooper replies “No,” which prompts a disbelieving “Oh really?” from his pal.
When Cooper laughs, Cohen says, “I forgot we’re on TV,” suggesting there’s more to this story than is being shared.
“Zaddy”
Cooper goes on to share that he doesn’t like “baby talk” in the bedroom, and he also doesn’t like it when a guy insists on splitting a bill at dinner. He prefers to pay for it all himself. This leads to Cohen calling him a “Zaddy.”
Cohen asks Cooper how he feels about a guy who’s into heavy nipple play, which prompts another snort of giggles from the newsman.
Cohen then asks Cooper if he’d date someone “20 years his junior”, but jumps in before he can answer to say, “Oh, she don’t care!”
After Cohen finishes his questions, King wants to return to the questions about threesomes. She says to Cohen, “Can I ask how you know that Anderson is open to threesomes in the bedroom?”
A shocked Cooper immediately spits out his drink.
Watch below.
When Cohen recovers from his shock at Cooper spitting out his drink, he tells King his insight is merely “mother’s intuition.”
In another part of the show, Cohen makes it clear he’s a fan of edible cannabis products and has occasionally given them to Cooper.
Watch below (it’s near the start).
Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen have been good friends for many years. They’re also now dads to two young children each and have spoken before about their kids having play dates. Cooper is co-parenting his two sons with his ex-boyfriend, Benjamin Maisani.
Cooper and Cohen will be back to host the New Year’s Eve coverage from Times Square on CNN.

After an interview with Ivanka Trump where she refused to answer ANY questions, Gayle King threw all journalistic norms and integrity out the window when somebody mentioned not knowing any of Ivanka’s opinions and Gayle says, Oh, well you know she’d have to care about women’s and children’s issues.
1. Not True,
2. Very sexist to assume all women would care about those, especially when 53% of white women voted for Trump.
3. Ivanka worked for an administraion that worked against women’s and children’s issues.

Why are you surprised? Corporate “news” and media thrives on sexism and pushing a feminist agenda.
barryaksarben
a feminist agenda? please that sounds to freaking close to the gay agenda. No doesnt exist and if it did Im fine with women taking over since men have certainly Fd things up good for the last couple thousand years
bachy
Ivanka’s interest in women and children ends with herself and her kids.

Anderson’s late mom, Jean Queen Gloria Vanderbilt had “three-ways” with Sinatra, so what’s the big deal? Ol’ blue eyes enjoyed tossing the salad with a blonde and brunette. We use to call those gals “utility girls.” Frank eventually settled-down with one. Not so sure about his bi-dad Wyatt Cooper?
Mr.Gavin Elster
Anderson’s mom Glo use to shack-up with Sinatra. Ronan Farrow is suppose to be Frank’s son, via Mia. Would it be incestuous for Anderson and Ronan to “hook-up?” Cohen and Gayle could watch, and take notes. Might be a little boring, and frustrating, if you know what I mean?, wink! wink!

Ronan is so cute/handsome/beautiful. There is NO way he’s NOT Sinatra’s son. He fortunately looks nothing like Woody Allen. The resemblance to Sinatra is quite obvious.
MikeM
Sinatra had a vasectomy in the seventies.
Joshooeerr
The Ronan/Sinatra thing has been thoroughly debunked. Sinatra biographer James Kaplan points out that at the time Ronan was conceived Frank and Mia were on opposite sides of the country (she in NYC, he in Palm Springs) and Sinatra was recovering from serious abdominal surgery, fitted with a colostomy, being nursed around the clock, and not expected to live. And, yes, he’d also had a vasectomy some years earlier. There’s just no way. Ronan looks like Mia – blond hair, blue eyes, pert looks – there’s no big mystery.

How sad that an interview which could have provided greater insight into the day to day lives of gay parents (like I am) and perhaps break down some stereotypes devolves into a Q&A about Anderson Cooper’s sex life. Does Gayle King now freelance for Pornhub? I mean if Anderson Cooper was fine with the questions that’s one thing; but honestly – he’s a respected journalist and a gay parent….he has a voice to the American public – why waste your time perpetuating the idea that the only thing gay men care about is sex?
inbama
Yes, especially with anti-surrogacy feminists making their case, it would be interesting to see more of gay parenting other than good-looking celebrities just doing publicity photos with their kids.

You’re whining because the comedy show wasn’t a public service announcement?
winemaker
Who really cares about anderson cooper’s sex life? Really to ask such a rude and inappropriate question begets a rude or curt reply. My late mother used to have a saying ” Classy people don’t discuss personal business in public”. That said, she also said when someone asks a rude or personal none of your damned business question, you have the right to reply thusly ” why do you want to know or why are you asking? She also said you can be abrupt and curt by replying. ” it’s none of your damned business”. The dolt that asks such a question deserves the silent treatment or an answer at all.
Mr.Gavin Elster
Sinatra SAID he had a vasectomy. (in the 70’s) Even if he did, they don’t always take, especially with a horn-dog like Frank.

I’ve known several friendship pairings like this, where one is loud and vulgar and the other is quiet and uptight. It’s like they balance each other out.
Brian
Meh. A threesome isn’t really that scandalous. The source of the taboo is from heterosexuality — treating women like property so that paternity would be easy to establish. Gay men, of course, can’t get pregnant, and so there’s no reason to follow the old rules that heterosexuals made for themselves.
bachy
I feel the same way about marriage.

They would never ask a str8 person about their sex life but gay/trans/ bi etc. is so deeply interesting to them they cannot prevent themselves. It’s the equivalent of asking a person of color if you can touch their hair. Gross and shame on Gayle. He should have asked her if she ever went down on Oprah
