The Huffington Post notes Anderson Cooper’s appearance on The Daily Show and has a transcript…and the YouTube video…

JS: At CNN is there weirdness? You’ve shot up through the ranks there. Like, when you throw to Paula Zahn do you ever hear under her breath be like, [“BEEP?”] (laughter) Like, is there anything like – is there any of that? Is there weirdness there?

AC: No, I mean actually people are really – CNN is a nice place to work. There’s a real sense of mission and a sense of, you know, people being interested in the news.

JS: When’s it gonna show on air?

AC: CNN?

JS: Yeah. That sense of mission.

AC: How do you mean?

JS: Because, I watch CNN a lot.
(Mixed crowd reaction: cheers/boos)

AC: They’re still with you.

JS: They don’t know what to think right now. They’re like, I love Anderson but its Jon’s show. The network seems to not know what – do they wanna be…

AC: Are you talking about MSNBC or CNN?

JS: CNN, MSNBC too. It’s this sense of like, let’s copy Fox in terms of their like kind of nice graphics and loud swoosh noises, and also car chases.

AC: He says, standing in front of nice graphics and loud swoosh noises.

JS: Exactly, well, when you’re a parody you go where the money is.
