Anderson Cooper Makes a Funny; We Notice
Earlier in the week, NBC News announced that Michael Douglas would be the voice you hear on many of their teasers and voice-overs. We didn't think much of the news, but apparently someone did. "Damn that NBC Nightly News," writes Anderson Cooper on his blog. "For about six months now we've been working on having someone with a very distinctive voice introduce 360 every night." Anderson goes on to explain that he formed an "exploratory committee" that met in "a backroom at Michael's" to discuss the issue. "Week after week, cobb salad after cobb salad, we argued over whose voice to use," he explains. "Sometimes the discussions got very heated, and eventually we were asked not to return to Michael's." The silver fox continues:

In public, at least. Anderson's View [CNN]
