Anderson Cooper Gets Pranked On Camera With Odd Photo From His Past

video

Here?s a strange moment. Last night on Anderson Cooper 360, a news story was interrupted by a strange off-topic photo of a little boy in a bizarre wig and a flashy outfit. Viewers at home were likely quite confused but not nearly as much as Anderson Cooper who recognized the picture as a decades-old shot of himself at age nine. It turns out the producers were having a little prank on him which is all well and good but, I have to say, it?s really not cool that they distracted from an actual news story to- What?s that? It was actually a story about Justin Bieber? Oh, ok then.

Yes, the prank occurred during the shocking news that actress Marg Helgenberger claims Bieber was ?kind of a brat? on the set of CSI. Important stuff. You can go read all about it. I?ll wait.

?

Done? How dare she, right?

Anywho, instead of a photo of Bieber?s amazing bangs, the report from Isha Sesay was accompanied by a photo of Cooper. He didn?t seem particularly thrilled.

?COOPER: Are you saying I was a brat?

SESAY: I would never say you were a brat. Kind of weird as a kid.

COOPER: Where did this picture suddenly materialize from?

SESAY: Control room, would you like to share?

COOPER: I?m being told in the control room that it was a technical glitch. I don?t believe that for a second.

SESAY: You do look kind of odd though. I mean, lets face it.?

The backstory behind the picture? Apparently nine-year-old Anderson Cooper appeared on To Tell the Truth and pretended to be Wally Naughtin, the world?s youngest bear trainer. Yeah, that is kind of odd.

  A shocking photo of Anderson Cooper in a wig and flashy costume? I can?t wait to hear Rachel Maddow?s commentary on this.

  Lately Anderson Cooper has been getting quite too informal with Isha Sesay, I wont be surprised if a Lewinsky-like scandal comes to light.
