STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Students at WFBN-TV, Monsignor Farrell High School’s very own television studio, recently had the pleasure of meeting Anderson Cooper, anchor of the CNN news show, on the set of his new talk show, “Anderson.” The young men, along with executive producer Brother Paul Hannon, interviewed the seasoned TV personality, and even got some tips about a career in journalism.
In addition to meeting Cooper, the crew got to see Aziz Ansari, who spoke about his role on the show “Parks and Recreation,” as well as his own stand-up routine.
Said Adam Bavaro, a senior, “It was an honor to meet Anderson,” and fellow senior Austin Krauza said, “The advice that Cooper gave was so insightful into the vast world of television media.”
In between commercial breaks, Anderson made a point of speaking to the audience, especially the students from Farrell. After the show’s end, seniors conversed with Anderson about their aspirations for the future and posed questions about the show. Anderson also spoke about his work as a war correspondent around the globe.
