Anderson's Family 'Cottage' Was a Mansion

Co-Host Judy Gold visited the historic home in which the Vanderbilts summered.

I worked at the Cornelius Vanderbilt estate The Breakers in Newport Rhode Island. It is a architectural wonder. It is a 75 room Italian Renaissance villa that was used only six weeks out of the year during the summer and was always referred to as a Cottage. I met The Countess who lived on the third floor and she was such a gracious woman. I believe she was Anderson Cooper's cousin or aunt. I know that The Countess had grown up in The Breakers. Working in that magnificent Villa is a job that I truly enjoyed it and look back on with fond memories.

Why hate Anderson? He didn't control who his mother is (which, by the way, is his best friend). He's actually a very polite, funny guy. I had the pleasure of meeting him in NYC a few years back & he's a really nice guy. By the way-his dad was dirt poor growing up in Mississippi. Anderson is very humble and far from rude or arrogant. Furthermore, his mothers money isn't going to him. He has his own money.

Wow, Anderson is so humble..so adorable🤭💕

[MrsEJV]

Anyone else thrilled Anderson is a father? I never cry.... Must have been dust the night he announced it after TWO HOURS of coronavirus discussions with Dr. Gupta. What a happy shock!

Would have been nice to be able to actually hear Anderson talk.

[wickedcatsrodriguez]

Would have loved to hear him actually be able to finish a sentence.

YES! The show should have a segment on Anderson visiting his family's summer home. That would be so great!

[donnawoodford]

Anderson shouldn't have to explain himself to anyone. He knows that the family money is gone, and lucky for us, he graces us with a combination of being real and goofy at the same time.

My great grandfather, a Swedish immigrant, was the "watchman" for The Breakers for 30+ years. When the Vanderbilts weren't there (which was often), great grandfather would take his sons over to play pool, according to family legend.

Dear Lord, she has the loudest voice I've ever heard!!! Let the man talk!!!

[DustyRoyce]

It is very unfortunate that this woman was being incredibly rude to him, kept interrupting and basically shaming him for his family history and wealth that wasn’t just given to him. He built his own brand, reputation and successful career and deserves the 3 shows.. he is a very humble, respected and kind man who didn’t deserve this kind of negativity directed at him.

LOVE The Breakers. I toured there this summer and it was AMAZING.

[sheelahales]

She would not let poor Anderson get a word in. SO RUDE

[TaDarling]

The Co-Host Judy Gold was horrible. She kept over-talking Cooper. He couldn't get a word in. She was asking him to help her get a show but she's not even capable of conducting a decent interview and allowing the interviewee to speak.

Interviewing 101: Ask Question. Then Shut Up.

[jjaus]

Does that woman actually know what a normal volume of speech is? Is this her "I am being a comic voice"?

[MA-yhko]

She was soooo annoying. can u let Anderson speak?
