Anderson Cooper Dresses Like Phil Donahue, Meets Phil Donahue

One of the perks of having your own talk show? Having the ability to coax daytime hosts of yesterday out of retirement, in exchange for a little praise and, let’s be honest, an excuse to get out of the house. Today, Anderson Cooper did just that with the man he “grew up watching,” Phil Donahue. I might have been just a little bit more entertained if Donahue had donned a tight black crew neck t-shirt and gone as Anderson Cooper for Halloween. Maybe next year!
