Anderson Cooper apparently loves kids. Offering up a perspective on Nadya 'Octomom' Suleman and her 14 children, Anderson Cooper offered up the chance to babysit the kids on his Monday night’s edition of The Ridiculous. Sharing that the Suleman’s haters are adding to the pressure of Suleman, he mentions that kids aren’t that bad but gave us a look into his kid watching past with Nancy Grace’s child screaming on camera.

The nightly The RidicuList on Anderson Coopers CNN Program 360 is becoming one of the best intellectual gems on television. Focusing on issues of society that perhaps are a bit extreme and reminding us that both sides of the issue could learn to bend a little he gives the viewer a chance to smile. Cooper brings out the linguistic insight of a journalist but finds humor in such a sporadic second that you have to listen carefully. In layman terms this segment has the intellectual elements of the New Yorker Magazine in a visual capsule that makes the viewer’s fill with glee. Couple this by his hard to decipher vocal inflections and viewers must ask is he being a journalist or just a dude pointing out the obvious?








Over the past weeks Cooper has shared just a few nuggets that appreciate the pop culture of our society. Of course there was the concern of helping with Nadya Suleman’s babysitting, but it appeared to be hinged on some improbable variables, yet the Suleman haters should note at least Cooper offered. Other The RidicuList subjects included the Intensity of Kim Kardashian getting her butt x-rayed, the swearing pilot with Coopers commentary littered in-between and our personal favorite, the edited, yet happy, video of Willie Nelson and Larry King after King asks if Willie acknowledged he smoked pot before the interview.

While we are still wondering about the Octomom babysitting (check out the video clip, he offered,) there is no doubt the segment is the funny side of Anderson Cooper is when he isn’t reporting hard core news. The Ridiculous is one of the best kept secrets on CNN, which is why we have to tell you to check it out.
