Welcome everyone to All Things Anderson 2008 Live Blog. For some of our readers you have already rung in 2009 and we offer you a huge Happy New Year. For the next few hours we can talk about what is happening on CNN (since we are starting at 10 we can include Tom Foreman's program but let keep it relatively nice :P) The fun will continue into the morning for our readers out in the West Coast as they await the beginning of 2009!!!
I will try to add clips and photos to the post as the night progresses as long as the blogger gods are nice to me.
With that let's get this party started!!!!


Erica Hill and Don Lemon in Times Square, Gary Tuchman in Central Park, Brooke Anderson in Las Vegas, Sean Callebs in New Orleans and John Zarrella in Key West, FL





All Things Anderson is a blog dedicated to CNN's AC360 and its host Anderson Cooper.

Hey everyone, Happy Newyear!
Happy New Year to you Kristien!!!!
What time is it where you are at?
4.43am...
Kristien and Sapphire - happy new year from here in Miami
Wow thanks for joining us Kristien
Happy New Year to you too Snooks
Hi Snooks and happy NY to you too
Will someone please get Anderson a hat. He's wearing his layers but no hat.
He needs Bill Schneiders hat :P
I don't have Tom Foreman's program, but it is a lookback at 2008. I don't mind, I didn't wanna see Perez Hilton anyway!
The webcam is broadcasting from Times Square.
thanks for the heads up about the webcam
It is starting to get noisy here where I am since boaters are out in Biscayne Bay getting ready to watch the midnight fireworks
Anderson needs to wear his hat and put his glove on - It doesn't help you stay warm when you are just holding it
it looks soooo cold! Poor Erica looks absolutely frozen!
If anyone wants something clipped let me know and I will work on it
wow Don's Coke froze....that is insane
let's maybe not clip when kathy was talking about pap smears, lol.
wasnt planning on it Kristien
I can't believe she said that about pap smears. She is just crude.
Happy New Year!!!
When Kathy asked if she could get a pap smera from Sanjay I thought I was going to die laughing. She is hilarious!
grrrr blogger gods are not being nice to me
Hey ACAnderfan!!
Gary's daughter is just too cute!
Haha, Anderson's "woohoo" was lame, lol.
Gary and his daughter were just too cute
Gary's daughter was too precious
Whooo Whooo....love ya Anderson :P
Hey Kristien!!!
Gary's daughetr was so cute!
If you can, check out the web cam - somethimes they zoom in on the platform. Jack Gray is supposed to be up there - I wish we knew which one he is or they would have him talk for a minute.
I am so excited to see London....I will be there in 2 weeks
Oh Wolfman called in :)
30 more minutes for us in EST
Hi friends,
Only 9:30 here but I'm watching AC and Kathy. Just love Gary Tuchman and isn't his daughter sweet!
Were staying in tonite. I'm watching AC with my pups Gus and Tracker but they just won't wear their party hats!
I agree Wolf...Anderson is looking very handsome.
Gotta love Sushi!
Have you been to London b4 Sapphire?
I saw the fireworks in London live on tv. Very impressive!
Nice to see Richard!
Anderson is just so in time with Kathy....she cant get past him
I liked Big Ben chiming in London. The fireworks were beautiful.
No this will be my first time to the UK
London is fantastic, I loved it when I was there.
Most people love Harrods Dept Store, but I love Spencers best. And St Paul's Cathedral is amazing.
Sapphire - have an amazing time in the UK - you will love it
I love that AC does not know who Chris Kirkpatrick is....I was so hoping to be in Vegas tonight but I am glad to be here with all of you
Anderson needs to put a hat on. His poor little ears look so red.
Hi Em, love the names you gave your pups! What breed are they?
I wanted to watch the webcam, but I can't find it...where do I click on the 360 site?
Did anyone else just see Anderson checking his crackberry live on the platform?
And his hands are turning red from not wearing his gloves.
I love Lady Gaga....saw her preform :)
Sapphire - great screen caps
Love Lady Gaga....saw her preform live
This is it: Happy New Year !!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS from Toronto!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM MIAMI
Funny how they specifically didn't show Anderson and Kathy at midnight. Do you think they were worried what Kathy would do after all that talk?!
less crowds, more Anderson please!!
better shape....the guns are already amazing :P
Happy New Year from Paris!
Looks like I will ring in the New Year at least 3 times AC in NYC, AC with the Midwest and Mr Em Rocky Mountain time!
Hi ACAnderfan...Love my pups. Gus is a Shitzu and Tracker is a chihuahua dachshund mix...we call him a Chiweenie...but both of them really think they are little humans!
Anderson really does need a 12 Step program for that Crackberry!
ok why does she keep hitting Anderson....and why is he encouraging it
Sapphire, maybe he'll work on his swimming!
Oohh I lost my daughter....Gary is hilarious :P
Hi Delie, glad I'm not the only one up at this hour!
Em, a Chiweeny sounds cute!
Aww...how nice of Anderson to give Kathy his mittens!
Oooohhh Anderson will be down in NOLA in a few weeks?!?!?
Oh crab cakes in Nawlins. I'm jealous.
Eva Menedes....has a crush on AC
Not sure if Sean knows too much about Utah fans...they are from the big city...probably having a few themselves. Now if it was BYU they would be breaking out the Rootbeer to go with those Beignets!
Kristien..Tracker the Wonder Dog is pretty cute...looks mostly like a Dachshund unless he is mad and the chihuahua really comes out! We call Gus my tumor cause he isn't happy unless some part of his body is touching me. He goes everywhere with me! As you can tell, I am definitely a doggie person.
Does it seem like maybe Erica doesn't appreciate Kathy too much?
OMG poor Erica....you can leave :P
Anderson put his gloves on :P
Oh Anderson, I'll gladly tell you all about "The Hills", forget Kathy!
Hey, I'm here... Anderson's ears are SO red! Brrr!
Gotta make a drink, then I'll be around to post comments and etc.
Happy New Year, East Coasters!
Is it true that Anderson and Kathy were dancing at midnight? I would love to see that clip.
Did you hear Anderson say during the Sean Calebs piece eating crabcakes that he was going to NOLA in a few weeks?
AC and Kathy were dancing but I cant clip right now but I will try tomorrow
Waiting here in CA and don't think Anderson and Kathy will still be on, but so much fun watching them! Erica, not so much.....
Happy New Year to all! Wishing lots more of Anderson in 2009!
Thanks Sapphire that would be a great clip to see of Anderson dancing. I bet Kelly is pea green with envy. LOL
Yes, we could see a little of them dancing. Erica not so good tonight .
As funny as Kathy is, I think Erica should be up there with Anderson - Erica deserves more than just the street
OMG 1st Amendment Lawyer needed....damn
Haha, I think she thought they were already off the air, lol.
Wow - how would you like to be out in that cold sweeping up the streets?
When they show the 3 Doors Down clip in the theater I start choking up immediately. I'm glad they did this.
Happy New Year to my fellow Central Timers! People are actually shooting off fireworks in my neighborhood!
Happy New Years Central timezone! Whoo!
There is this great boat parade outside as all the boats are leaving after the Miami fireworks - its really pretty and we have been blessed with perfect weather
Happy, Healthy and Wealthy New Year to all
HAPPY NEW YEAR Central Time Zone!!!
Love watching NOLA was there in October and I so enjoyed it!!!
Happy Newyear to everyone in the CT zone!!
Aww, a nice hugg to end the show!!!
well my friends, I'm going back to bed. Have a great night and I'll see you all soon!!!
Thanks to Sapphire!!!!
How lucky of Kathy to get that HUGE hug from Anderson!
I am off....Cyn is taking over...I will be blogging for Ms. Phebe later tonight so see ya all then

Snooks at 12:51: regarding Erica being up with Anderson: doesn't look like that will EVER happen, does it? Anderson had too much fun with Kathy. She is still foulmouthed but Anderson obviously likes her a lot
Erica's been working the crowd for the past several years. She seems to like it... or at least fakes it well. Must be a lot more fun when the weather is nice, though!
Happy New Year all...off to spend some time with Mr Em and get ready to celebrate the New Year out here in the Mountains. Hope you all have a wonderful New Years Day!
Seriously, does Diddy strike you as the type to be taking away people's car keys because he doesn't want them driving under the influence? I mean... Hmm...
I agree, Cyn. Although that commercial has an excellent message, they have so overplayed it.
Goodnight to all bloggers. This was a lot of fun. Happy New Year!
Hi! Happy New Year to all of you. I missed most of tonight's broadcast, is it possible if someone please uploads it.
Light-emitting diode, I think...?
Anon@1:45 if you're here in the US, it's replaying now. Sapphire will try to get more clips up tomorrow, Blogger has been very uncooperative the past couple of days.
Oh! and Happy New Year, Mountain Time folks!!!
Happy New Years from Virginia.
I completly forgot about live blog here. I been on Anderload live thread the entire time.
Tonight was defently interesting, at first I wasn't to fond of it and Kathy was just annoying me and it seem to get better as the show went on. Anderson started getting more snarky as well. I wish the camera hadn't went from Anderson and Kathy because there was something going on there.
Anyway kinda glad I was home, warm, and confy instead of being out in that really cold weather. Pretty cold here actaully 17 degree right now and wind chill is 12.
Anyone talking about what that dude did to Erica. That was just gross,he lucky she just pushed him away. I wonder if she said anything to him after they cut way from her.
Night yall
And Happy New Year, West Coasters!! All best hopes for a much better 2009!
Happy New Year to the West Coaster!
My first 2009 day starts right now...
Best wishes for all the ATA's people.

Funny New Year's party last night and I agree that comment by Kathy wanting a pap smear by Sanjay was hilarious!

Does anyone know what brand of jacket he was wearing? It was quite nice.
Aww, I want to see them dancing!
Kathy Griffin is gross, no matter how you slice her and it is ALL OVER, the internet. I will vote with my remote next year and tune in to a station that does not encourage her vile mouth. She is not funny if she has to resort to that kind of humor. Bill Maher learned the hard way and so will she.
The nicest part of the show was when Wolf Blitzer called in to say how nice both AC and Kathy looked. That was true, but I'm quite certain after hearing Griffin's vile mouth, he soon regretted it.
It was a Mountain Hardwear jacket. I caught a glimpse before he taped over the label. Kathy was great. I've seen her live and you either like her brand of humor or don't. I personally love it. I hope she's back next year as CNN's NYE coverage was way better than any other network.
Do you think Kathy made Erica mad about her comment to Erica for her explanation of the LED? (something like we really needed to know that)
I missed it when wolf called in. Who talked to him on the phone? Anderson or Kathy?
Kathy seems to bring him up a lot, jokes about him. Wonder how much Wolf really likes her
Kathy at 1:09 PM: ALL of Anderson's clothes are nice, and it was probably a name brand.
Kathy Griffin is part of the forty tons of trash that was hauled away in Times Square. But then CNN new that when they hired her. Anything for ratings.
Happy New Year to everyone here at ATA! I had fun watching AC and Kathy but I wish Erica could have joined them on the platform too.
I hate it, CNN Intl. isn't airing 360 now, they're instead showing Obama's interview. Sigh. I would just have to listen to the show on cnn.com, and there's no webcam. Ugh!
Anderson and Kathy were great last night. I was having a rough day but watching Anderson and Kathy really cheered me up. With Kathy, you either like her or you don't. I've seen her perform live and she's quite funny. I hope they bring her back next year.
BTW, what happened to Erica at the end? I missed it.
