Anderson Cooper started his career on Channel 1 News. If any of you are in your young adult years then you can remember seeing Channel 1 News in middle schoole during homeroom. Whether you actually watched it is still up in the air.

During his years at Channel 1 Anderson's career took off and it landed in the lap of ABC when he was 28. This made him the youngest correspondent on the network. He began doing guest spots for ABC's overnight news show called "World News Now" and in September of 1999 he became a permanent part of the show.

His spot on " World News Now " created a large fan base for Anderson and as his job of hosting " The Mole " season 1 comes to an end his fan base is growing.

Why do we all love Anderson so much? He is intelligent, sexy, ambitious and young. He is what we all look for in any guy but when reality hits us in the head he is what we all watch on t.v.
