Happy St. Patrick's Day Anderfans!

Top o'the morning to ya Anderfans. Yours truly is in a wonderful mood today thanks to the lovely Michael Gelman (more on that later) over at 'Live With Regis and Kelly'. Anderson's co-hosting appearance on Thursday was just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. So here goes with a few fandom comments.


I want to make Anderson a promise. He said he finds it so annoying to be eating with someone in a restaurant and they answer their cell phone. It makes him feel like he's not interesting enough to hold their attention. Anderson, dear, I promise if we ever have dinner together I will not even think about answering my cell. I'll flush it down the toilet if that would convince you. Which brings me to my next observation. If you are ever lucky enough to talk to AC on the phone and he starts coughing please realize he is in the bathroom and just flushed. He admitted to Kelly that is his method of masking the incriminating noise.

Did anyone else notice that Anderson stole Erica's billion dollar bill story and used it on 'Live'? Wonder if Erica will call him on it? And did you catch the lean in to Vin Diesel at the break? Seemed to me Mr. Cooper was explaining his very personal connection to Sidney Lumet, director of Diesel's new movie. I'm sure I lip read "My mom" which would certainly to be followed by 'was married to Sidney before I was born'.

I was particularly surprised to hear Anderson talk, with knowledge, about American Idol. He seemed as surprised (and maybe a little too pleased) by Ace being in the bottom three as most of America was Wednesday night. He also admitted not understanding Paula Abdul. Sounds like his life is filled with Simons, who only focus on the bad not trying to find the good in everyone. I try to be a Paula, and that's how I imagine Anderson, too. Are you a Paula or a Simon?

Not surprised that Anderson enjoyed the Ludacris segment, since it was about Chris's guest appearance on CSI. AC loves his CSI. Loved Anderson singing the 'da dum'.

Best, best, best part of the show was Anderson playing with the toys. He's just such a kid at heart and was really enjoying himself. The giggles, the smiles, the looks at Kelly as he took aim with the slime, I loved it all. They taunted and teased each other like my son and daughter did when they were kids. Good chemistry, great to watch.
Jump suit:$40, slime gun:$25, Anderson getting slimed: priceless.









Oh and I forgot the Coke Black bit. So funny to see him swirl and spit. Could he be any more adorkable? And Anderson you're not alone, I've never tasted coffee either, so thanks for saving me the $1.19 it would cost to try Coke Black. Yuck!

Finally, if you'd like to see more of AC on 'Live' please think about sending Mr. Gelman (the producer) a fax, 1-800-330-1106. I did last week (suggesting maybe AC could co-host when Regis was on vacation) and I plan on following up with a thank you today. Kelly is on vacation in 2 weeks, but I'm sure I'm just being greedy to think we could see Anderson co-host with Regis, right?

Great comments tonight, Phebe! LOVED the show and I loved your thoughts on it.

Hey Phebe I loved to see Anderson outside of the news arena. He is just like a big kid and doesn't seem to care who knows it.

Regis & Anderson - not a good match however, Regis & Erica would be great. Too bad she isn't in the NYC area.
