Anderson Cooper BEFORE he was a STAR! - To Tell The Truth | BUZZR 

tigergreg8 I knew it by the Push, as well.

Same! Screamed professional stage child.

I knew because he was wearing red.

Also in the video you see everyone wearing red costumes!🎆🌅🎇💕

Hats are all red costumes too

That's probably how he got on the show.

Good points. Hard to believe Kitty wouldn’t have ever met Anderson.

There's no business like show business.

There's a difference between knowing the name of Gloria's son and recognizing him in a circus outfit trying to lie about his identity. She might have met him as a baby let's say, but it's likely the kids at that age were usually separate from the adults.

Could it be be bcuz children don't usually go to cocktail parties? Going to the same parties doesn't mean they were buddies and visited each other's homes. Just a thought....

I agree, I imagine they were treated rather cruel to learn to obey like that. They looked wayyyyy to docile for a wild animal. Poor things are at rest now and enjoying life elsewhere, thank goodness.

@@Theyralltakenfu Well, it keeps them off the streets.

Lol. I knew I'd find one of these comments.

@merricat3025 you felt sorry for the bears for a good reason. "Physical punishment has always been the standard training method for animals in circuses. Animals are beaten, shocked, and whipped to make them perform-over and over again-tricks that make no sense to them. The AWA allows the use of bullhooks, whips, electrical shock prods, or other devices by circus trainers." Ignore comments by people who are either unaware of the cruelty or just don't care about anyone but themselves. Thankfully circuses with animals are outlawed completely in six states so far and have various restrictions in the other states in the US. "More than 45 countries, including India, Italy, Iran, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and the Netherlands, have already passed laws banning the use of wild animals in circuses." Your informed compassion is refreshing.

Horrible. Animals do Not belong in circuses.

If Betty White was on the panel she would have given that bear trainer a piece of her mind. 🐻

It could have been like the "youngest clown" episode where the kid clown purposefully acted increasingly unsure and disinterested to throw them off. Kitty was on the panel for that one, too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rSWI4o2gRIY.html

@nickxero2740 Nah. He wasn't until only after wearing that costume. J/k.

🚬👴🏿🥃 COOPER IS A FRUIT CUPCAKE

@nickxero2740🚬🧔🏿🥃 HOW DO U KNOW AND WHAT PART OF PLATOS RETREAT DID U HANG OUT AT?

@DonnaL-xv6tu 🚬👴🏿🥃 TELL THAT TO YOUR HUSBAND

Today...his mother Gloria Vanderbilt wasn't that wealthy--by this time none of Cornelius Vanderbilt's descendants had a net worth that reached seven figures.

@@tomservo56954 when she Died last Year She had a Estate in Excess of 1.5 Billion Not Sure where you got your Information from but her will is a Public Record

@@gwb7875 I said at the time (mid 1970's)....clearly those jeans did quite well by her.

@@gwb7875 Gloria Vanderbilt made her money.

@@merricat3025 She didn't make her Money She was Born a Vanderbilt her Grandfather was at One time One of the Wealthiest Men in America look up Biltmore Castle and Her Second Husband was Wealthier than her he was Worth at the Time of his Death an Estimated 800mil she was Worth an Estimated 500mil and She made even more Money with her Clothing Collection is in the 80s but dont think She was Self Made when she was Born Rich Married Rich not Once but Twice and had 4 Children 1 Anderson's Twin Brother Commit Suicide.

🚬🧔🏿🥃 COOPER IS A DOILY

She's a year old so it shouldn't hurt her.

They are definitely being treated roughly. This is NOT OK. Animals are not here to do tricks for humans or live in cages and trucks in traveling shows and circuses. Thank goodness animal acts have gone by the wayside.

And he's been lying to people ever since 😆

Projection! He never once told his viewers an election was stolen. Good try though

aquaman: You're the liar fact deniar.

Exactly!!!!

​@aqua6613 He never lies, you filthy repulsive punk.

So unlike the Kardashians of today, right?

I know. I wondered if the people who produced this show knew that he was actually a Vanderbilt.

@@kaymuldoon3575 His dad knew somebody associated with the show and got Anderson and his brother on the show.The brother acted like a tennis player according to Anderson.I dont know if a copy of that show exist.

In my book he is not a star , but a fake news idiot!

@@kaymuldoon3575Of course, they would have. Kitty Carlisle was a NY socialite.

Yes, but from a young age he was told he had no inheritance, so he became a hard worker.

Poems are a front runner to song lyrics or rap music writing. He has a wonderful gift of rhyme.

prick once said (on another game show) that the only difference between making love & rape, was romance...makes me wonder if he would've survived MeToo, must have some dirt in his past, if that was his true feeling about sexual assault

Laura Nolastnamegiven It's hard to know, and we'll never know. NR is not here to confirm what he may have said nor give any explanation. Decades ago, there was a different view about sexual assault. In general, if a woman wore "seductive" clothing, rape was considered her fault. The aggressor may have been tried in court, but the female was seen as part of the problem for choosing to wear something that excited a man sexually. Society later discovered the motive for rape is not sexual desire, but rather desire for power...iow violence. Hopefully, the confusion has been cleared and victims of abuse don't accept the blame for another's actions.

@@donnawoodford6641 oh, I don't disagree, I just remember hearing that, I think it was on Match Game, years ago, on Game Show Network, and being shocked that anyone would think that, even in the mid-late 1970s, or that they wouldn't edit that out, sensing that it was too controversial, or unpleasant a topic for afternoon (I don't think this was the evening version) television...I wish I remembered the facial expressions on the rest of the celebrity panel, or the audience's reaction, but I don't

I think what it is was called a lymrick

That is kind of young for a fifth grader.

🚬🧔🏿🥃 U LAUGH EAZY AND TOO MUCH

I always loved his poems.

@e n what?

Bill Cullen was having none of that joke...

Nipsey Russell was a comic genius. Albert Einstein was a genius.

And a perfume.

And she makes Satanic Shadowbox Art too!

Tthom2 as a ten year old, he probably didn't know or care what his parents did......….his time was spent with nannies

@@tinfoilmagnolia2546 Goodness, but what a jealous and hateful thing to say. Oh, that's right. You're a RepubliKKKan.

@@leonply it's TRUE

It really was- she seemed like a sweet person in real life. She was a regular panelist on this show. Before the show became less formal, they would always wear elaborate evening wear on the. It took her hours to get ready. Different time.

The comment I was searching for!! I thought it was her in the thumbnail!

John Perry Yes- I never went to this show, but I saw “What’s my line” a lot.

At what?

Well, you know the celebrities must be protected from the people and animals they don't really care about.

That's how they train them not to bite!

The bear can eat, drink, and breathe just fine. It’s also a common muzzle used on dogs and other animals that can bite. I don’t like circuses and am glad to see that at least here in the states circuses have pretty much disappeared. However, that muzzle is harmless and the bear is not only fine, but, given the circumstances, safer for not being able to bite anyone who might react harshly.

Its no different to some dogs that need to be muzzled. Sometimes they bite. Bears are still wild animals.

To tell the truth......teaching children to lie like sociopaths for 30 years.

🚬🧔🏿🥃 COOPER IS A DING DONG

Yes, my mother is Gloria!

Anderson has and still works hard.

@Kirk Moore She really didn't have a lot of money left. She left one son her apartment and Anderson got the rest of her estate.

They were already going broke not long after the Biltmore in North Carolina was built. That is why they turned it into a museum. I don't think it has been owned by the Vanderbilt's for a long time. They swindled a lot of their money. Good thing Gloria had connections and could design. Her kids were raised very strangely. They were not treated like they were wealthy, Anderson's older brother, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper, committed suicide on July 22, 1988, at age 23, by jumping from the 14th-floor terrace of Vanderbilt's New York City penthouse apartment I remember my family talking about how strange it was that his mother didn't seem very bothered by it.

Kitty was friends with so many people

You do realize this was decades ago, right?

Most of these animals wouldn't even be alive if it wasn't for the market for them. They are raised from birth to do this and know no other way. They can be held in captivity and live good lives.

You could tell by the fact that he was the one pictured in the thumbnail.

I thought it was because of the ball indentions on his chin .

I think that it is the child in blue, since his costume is different than the other two. He smiled a lot, and seems honest.

Anderson has a NYC metro accent here, that he doesn’t have as an adult.

@@MikeCee7 American Broadcast accent. It’s a learned thing.

@@StormyDayIt’s not so easy to lose a New York accent If it’s so, talk to Sylvester Stallone, Tony Danza, Bernie Sanders, Donal Trump, all 4 of the Ramones, Mariah Carey, the current mayor of NYC, (I forgot his name) etc. etc. etc.

@@MikeCee7 you have to WANT to. I don’t think any of those people you mentioned wanted to lose their accent. Sylvester Stallone is from Philly.

@@StormyDay if you didn’t come across your mind yet, I’m from New York metro area, and I have not lost my accent and I WANT to lose it.

🚬🧔🏿🥃 COOPER IS A DOILY

Season 1977 -1978

And in the same studio. Those celebrity panel CBS game shows were taped on weekdays in the Ed Sullivan Theater where Letterman did his CBS show. My dad worked around the corner and I was often in attendance watching the tapings. The shows that go back to the early 50s like "What's My Line" were exceptions in the early years as I believe they were broadcast live.

Why?

​he was a douche then as well as now!!!

You can hear "PAN" during the contestant intro, even without headphones. Seemed to happen often during that time. An example is on that 'Telephone Game' TPiR segment Wink posted a while back: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KzrZCLB-DF4.htmlm42s (you can hear "Take 3" I think)
