Cohen wasn’t willing to let Cooper skirt the issue, however, pressing the 48-year-old newsman on whether or not he would accept the job if it was offered to him. Anderson Cooper appeared on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” – hosted by close friend Andy Cohen – on Thursday, where he revealed once and for all what he thought about taking the position.

For anyone who thinks the show is scripted, this clip will prove otherwise… because Strahan clearly had no idea Ripa was about to mention his split from his wife. “Kelly is the heart and soul of that show and it’s going to go on and continue to be great and I wish Michael the best in his new endeavor”, Cooper said.

Sources connected to production tell us Ripa’s intro to a segment about divorced couples was a total shock to Strahan.

“I’ve kind of said everything I had to say about it…” This morning on “Live!’, both she and Michael were mum on the drama after Michael announced yesterday he?d be leaving for ‘Good Morning America” 4 months earlier than planned.

“Look, I’m very happy at CNN”, Cooper, who hosts CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, answered cautiously. “I know some people were saying that”. I’ve guest hosted with her a few times she’s awesome. “Since we’re being honest, I don’t consider this just a workplace”, she continued.

On Friday, Ripa talked to Strahan about an article she read about “bird nesting”, a parenting technique in which separate parents have their kids live in one home, while they take turns staying with them.
