Anderson Cooper Walks On To Univision’s Live New Year’s Eve Show, Shows Off Spanish Skills

While CNN New Year’s Eve host Anderson Cooper was waiting for his special with Kathy Griffin to begin, he wandered over to the Univision set and shared a few moments with hosts Raúl De Molina and Jackie Guerrido. And proved, once again, why he’s one of the most likable people in television:

“Every year I look at you, and you guys are having so much fun, and I wish that I was on the broadcast, so I’m very happy to be here with you.”

Cooper noted that his broadcast and the Univision one were situated pretty close to one another and he envied the appetizers and champagne they passed around. In a Spanish, De Molina explained that “a Twitter war” had been going on where Cooper had said that he hated that CNN gets a tiny space and Univision gets a huge Times Square space. It was all fun, games, and love, however, and Guerrido eventually kissed off Anderson with the double-cheek move, dubbing him, “so handsome.” It’s one of those awesome moments that can really only happen on New Year’s Eve.
