Will Anderson Cooper host The Early Show?

Anderson CooperThat's the buzz from "insiders" at CBS News. FOX News is reporting that CNN's Anderson Cooper could become the new host of the morning show, along with NBC's Campbell Brown, who is unhappy that she didn't get the Today gig when Katie Couric went to host The CBS Evening News.

It's not such a crazy idea, since Cooper is already working on 60 Minutes. But what would happen to Anderson Cooper 360? He'd have to give that up. Maybe Harry Smith can take that job if Cooper goes to CBS. Nah, Harry Smith 360 just doesn't have the same ring to it.

What do you think? I think Anderson Cooper is good, but would he want to give up the harder news that he does at CNN to host a morning show again, especially after early morning gigs on World News Tonight and American Morning? I'm not convinced, though I think it would finally give CBS' morning program the personality it needs.

It's hard to imagine the gig would be attractive to Cooper, outside the enormous salary. Morning shows are all about being comfy-cozy over coffee on a sofa, and face it, the boy's in Kabul, Afghanistan right this minute.

I think anything that Anderson Cooper hosts will most definitely be well done and with class. Plus, he so easy on the eyes to look at for 2 hours. As for Campbell Brown, she has an arrogant and stuck up attitude, and needs to get that chip off of her shoulder. Matt Lauer, is just about as arrogant as she is, and he is a dirt bag, and self-centered, and in love with himself. He feels he is untouchable, and he is do incredibly pushy with interviews. That is why I stopped watching the Today Show. The Early Show has so much more class.

Not for nothing, but I wouldn't use anything Fox News said for the basis of a blog post.

The Early Show is America's morning TV ghetto. Why would Cooper go there?

Campbell Brown should have been passed up. She's wooden on camera. Plus, she married Dan Senor, Bush apologist. She shouldn't be reporting on any national news with Dannyboy in her bed.
