Anderson Cooper on Jeopardy Power Players Edition- Part 1

[MsMaroon5Freak]

Kind of creepy....our eyes are the EXACT same color!

[thetwinky]

Anderson is the fastest to push the Jeopardy button. I hope he's as fast to push my buttons..

[twood023]

AC is the best!

[tashaxchibixchan]

Anderson, you stud! You're dominating

[guineveredawn]

IDIOT!! lol, love you AC :)

[TheLynngirl69]

I don't really care if Anderson Cooper's either straight or gay, either way, he is a total f***in' hotty!!!!!!! I've always loved his eyes, his smarts, his all-around gorgeousness! Anderson Cooper is just simply, yummy!!!!!!!

[PerfectAgent64]

He embarassed everyone there... Trolling hard.

[MrGman13131]

Give credit to Anderson, he was the least embarassing of these 3 morons.

[Zomwat]

He's like the polar opposite of wolf blitzer. They both have white hair and are old news anchors. But ac is hot, he actually has emotions, and dominates jeapordy. Wolf blitzer is just plain wrinkled, would probably be boring even on acid, and gets negative points in jeapordy.

[daccord1]

I love how it kinda always seems like when you see Anderson on something besides his show- like talk shows and stuff like this- he always seems to try and make things a little more fun, like the "what is berlin" thing, the host is kinda like 'move on with it' and he's just trying to laugh about it idk

[gingerale677]

ok Anderson just became 100000 times hotter to me. This coming from someone that did not think he could become any hotter than he already was

[roswellatup]

anderson is gay

[papillonaquatique]

@roswellatup You say that like it is a bad thing.

[Angie2343]

Abraham Lincoln was a big fan of education. He would REALLY love Jeopardy.

[messiejessie92]

"What is Vogue?" haha I cracked up at that one

[SapphireBlaze9]

Yeah! Anderson sure schooled them! He's awesome. lol, he says "D'oh" at 10:38, doesn't he?

[johnbsk]

Wow. Maria is in it. Nice seeing her outside her show.

[johnbsk]

Anderson is handsome and smart guy. 

[elbertproductions]

does anybody have this version of the 1997 theme??

[tasso64]

the woman and black guy are just awful so it isnt just anderson, but he is real good

[allaroundhislovefrom]

(click) Alex " lincoln" abraham " who is abraham lincoln?" Alex " correct, the 16 president is abrham lincoln"

[slimjimzquinn27]

I suspect Anderson let the other two answer correctly those times out of his gentlemanly nature...

[BIJMOZ]

Anderson: "Who is Aaron?"

Kweisi: "AAAAAHH"

[shaysnewbabyisfat]

Stereotypes are true. Women are only good for their looks. Blacks are the least educated. Only person that would have owned anderson is an asian nerd

[Gabthatguyyoukno]

@shaysnewbabyisfat You are a pathetic loser, you go on the internet saying shit like that insulting innocent babies, and saying sexist things like that, please go die

[holdemehha]

The chick is one of those ppl who says every sentence like a question....?

[richter85]

lol his competitors are dumb!

[Pinman1000]

This episode reran on August 31, 2004 just days away before The new season of Jeopardy with Ken Jennings returning.

[goddessnextdoor1]

Oh my gosh. Just when I thought I couldn't love AC more...!!!! I will marry this guy in a heartbeat.

[twinkledryad]

everyone is here for AC!

[oobbyb]

Mario Bartiromo, fat-arsed and dumb as dirt. How embarrassing this display must have been for CNBC. Where the f*ck didn't she go to school?

[uraso90005]

I love Anderson!!! Is is true he is gay? sigh~

[dancebea92]

yea

[soosananana]

what an attractive man.

[Dancrof80s]

i want sex

[andrewRlundy]

Anderson owned.

[hiya4011]

Smart, funny, and honest. Love, love, love the man.

[scorpio387011]

wow! anderson... Good looking, hot and smart!!! ideal man....

[akelly55]

Go Anderson!!! :-)

[caramelgirl13]

Go Anderson!

[CheesySanchez]

YUM!!!! Anderson is so hot!

[kingskip98]

I want to see the 1997 power players game from November 20 that Wolf Blitzer played on. I wonder if he did as bad on that game as he did on the one this year?

[bbbbbbbbbbbbb100]

That set... political debate, anyone?

[Niklasmannen]

Anderson is really smart.

[samashby08]

Wow. I have no idea how she missed the Tenimean (I butchered the spelling of that) square question.

[zhangshinyi]

tiananmen :)

[Matrix29bear]

Maria Bartiromo is stupider than the average prostitute. She is a retarded sub-moron with nice hair. It is disgusting that she is allowed, much less paid, to appear in any television program.

[cmandrews86]

Anderson is indeed smokin hot...and Maria is dumb as dogshit

[drshiz]

dude this guy anderson coop is JACK D...

[tcheat0404]

MONTIBELLO AHAHAHA

[larrywalkerntbi]

At 4:48 in the video AC's the only one with points on the board in the positive. He really is pretty sharp.

[bryancaughfey]

It's the same flag background they used on WOF in Philadelphia.

[avaxxsamantha]

LMFAO yeye anderson!

[DESIpowerrr]

By the way, does anyone else think that the way he walks is SUPER HOT?

[VashKSA]

YES it is very hot.

[DESIpowerrr]

Hahaha I love how he points at the screen when he calls one of the categories.

Oh my, my, look at those eyes. Anderson is sooooooooo freaking hot.

I wonder how it feels to look at yourself in the mirror when you look like that.

He's smart.

[purplemonster46]

Anderson is hot.

[friendsluver4E]

anderson is really smart. and really hot too

[Maturinblast]

A.C. is the man!

[ElaineBenes1]

Go Anderson!

He's kicking some serious Jeopardy ass!

[trombokinase]

He wrote an article about how he trained himself before the jeopardy. It's really funny.

[zuckersterne]

Haha, Anderson dominates.

[meradical]

holy shit

[BlackKingX]

Anderson is a little too smart...

[GoHiltyGo]

Wow. Anderson is smart. and hot.

[LSUBOY41]

The girl did really good..lol

[OnePineTree]

Cooper show that he's smart , cool and calm in this nerve racking situation. He's a cute mix of being competitive, humble and shy at the same time! How I love him !!!!!!!

[curviegurlie]

of course he'd do good on 'bearing witness'

he's been there, on the frontlines. and plus, this guy's damn smart.

[Gamebox88]

the announcer slaughtered his name

[002E00]

10:35 - D'OH!. Hahaha!

[a1shelton]

Yeah I agree the questions were pretty easy.

[uncoverbrother]

anderson just cohosted with kelly ripa today and was bragging about his game playing here! he said his secret was that he googled jeopardy champion tips online before the show and discovered that he should try and buzz in right as alex finished the question and not pay attention to these lights they were told to watch just off-camera. he said he felt guilty so he told his competition about it before the second round and yet he 'still won!'. gotta luv utube!

[Shorti10252000]

Did he gray early? His face looks wayyy too young for white hair.

[deborahmei]

his hair started going gray twenties

[yoshiebe]

is it just me, or are the questions not so hard?

[Centrus67]

leave it to the black guy to get the Compton, LA city of rappers correct. haha 9:08

[bobfredkowalski]

Gotta love how Anderson got the most cheers. :3

[Mat49324]

I miss the extra verse in the board fill sound. BTW, the last time they came to DAR Constitution Hall was the 1997 Teen Tournament.

[cageynerd]

Anderson, I hope one day we can go on a date...

[LindonAvenue]

ANDERSON.

I LOVE YOU.

[osogoodgirl]

Ahhh! Anderson walked out and did this little pose like a model only he did it completely inadvertently. He is so wonderful, so handsome, and soooo oblivious. I LOVE him!

[Bumpers825]

hahahahahahaa!! i went back and watched that. it might be his natural suave-ness too

[josieaz]

Haha aww Anderson is such a cutie when he gets embarrassed.

"Idiot."

[samoji88]

anderson is schooling the other two

[jmango80]

Does anybody know who won?

[rainshinyday]

Watch part 2.

[neveralmostthere]

can we just snip out all of the non-anderson parts?..

and yay. go AC- making everyone else look bad lol

[bummercucumber]

I love Anderson Cooper. He's amazing.

[phoenixx1]

Anderson rocked that shit.

[saralovejonas]

Cooper's smart AND sexy..

Mmmm.

[mgreen312]

i thought these people were supposed to be smart? and the black guy is in the red...what a shock. these people are fucking idiots.

[ridewitme540]

ANDERSON COOPER!!!!!!!!!!

[p1nkg3m1n187]

anderson cooper is so hot!! so hot, i think he beat george clooney on my list

[saralovejonas]

YES HE ISS!!

[princessamina1]

OMG...these questions are so simple!

[JessicaNicole0128]

anderson owned this =)

[beautifulkisses1]

Anderson is too cute and smart:)

[dbzcoolman23]

Lesson learned: don't mess with Anderson Cooper

[kole2lole]

Can anyone please post more Jeopardy! Power Players From Washington D.C

[ckashmir]

what is vogue ahahahaha

[jumpergirl502]

anderson cooper pwns.

[Hawkwing4556]

Kweisi: Does this work?! LOL

[lakersfanfor3va]

lol maria

[pinkstar32390]

OMG, AC OWNED THAT! And needless to say, Maria Bartiromo needs serious help!

[LopezCaro]

I cannot believe Bartiromo did not know where Tiananmen Square is

[shumila]

"Doh!"

Lord. Cooper is just too adorable for words.

[martiansunrise]

How can these reporters and "power players" not know simple capitals? It's pathetic.

[superifiwetan]

their human, they got shit to do, like everyone else, sometiems your just not on top of your game which is what the deal was + they dont take this seirously, they are already rich... :/

[jbouthebirdy]

the money goes to charity...its not that they already have money

[arnbkr]

How can Bartiromo be so stupid.

[NypdDetective]

Anderson's a genius! Hillarious too. He's too hard on himself, though.

[MJMonroe]

Anderson isn't g*y

[upkilt]

Actually he is, openly.

[ColbertsMyHero]

Actually, he's not. Openly, at least.

[neveralmostthere]

what is "gay" an expletive now? and so what, he's still awesomely hot, smart and funny.

[sharonhate]

Am I watching Jeopardy on YouTube? I should just throw myself off a building right now.

[nimashukri]

lol.. can't seem to think of anything else to watch either.

[doggpound187]

Maria needs to SHUTUP aha

[zeromyerz]

So embarrassing, I had to watch in sections. I -love- Anderson, but COME ON Kweisi. KWANZAA?? AARON?? Shouldve been on top of it.

At least he knows where Compton is. lol

[TheBelle007]

Anderson Cooper is heavenly.

[ilyablay]

She's a reporter and she doesn't know where Tiananmen square is?!!

[xxxxkukiexxxx]

Well, Maria is a financial reporter, but that's not an excuse though.

[aandSabs]

anderson absolutely kills it. haha the other two have no chance.

[Boom12]

D'OH! xD That was so wacky

[luweesz]

well it will be a great fight if alex asks maria the common coefficient of dow jones, the nikkei and the footsie, won't it?

[peanut522]

Anderson Cooper is not gay. Do you honestly think that with the hateful, homophobic people in the world, that he would be as famous and successful as he is if he were gay? He actually is married. Goodness he is beautiful. I dont even mind the gray, it makes him look distinguished.

[SynxZackyfan]

Um, no, he isn't married. And yeah, he is gay. He has a boyfriend.

[Sergio022s]

yes he is and yes he does but i do agree on the second part with peanut. He is so successul only because he is amazingly good in hiding it so well. Even at times when things are so freakishly obvious he plays around with people and news and no harm done to anyone. He is a role model for sure (now whether that brings happiness i dont know but America is not ready to accept gay successful people so it's smart to keep doing what he is doing).

[markrockwell]

Really? I'm fairly sure that gay people are, statistically speak, more successful than straights. In my view, successful gays are the ONLY sort that America is ready to accept--it's America: nothing succeeds like success! It's the unsuccessful gays who have it worst.

Then again, some people won't accept them anywhere...

[Sergio022s]

well, I agree and I disagree. Gay people in fashion industry is easy to suceed and there is no problem there. However, conservative sectors like journalism, academia etc where you need to have the average american root for you and be able to identify with you, this is not the case. Statistically speaking you are correct, gay people are more successful than straight but this does not imply any biological superiority or whatever.

[Sergio022s]

Many people explain it because gay people need to try hard to succeed as a way to find a balance in their lives -which society denies to them-whereas straight people take it fror granted. Now, you are wrong on the second part. America is a deeply conservative country. Starting with Hollywood-the most progressive segment of it- there is NO progress ,apart from some marginalized tv shows, with homosexuality and society.

[Sergio022s]

Business gurus inform smart gay leaders not to come out, academics fear to publish their work on homsexuality and of course no word about coming out, civic sector people come out only when they resign ..the list goes on. Nothing new happens, I'm afraid unlike some European countries where gay people have been accepted by the average citizen. I'm sorry but this is reality.

[Sergio022s]

It's obvious everywhere in America and above all:gay people's defensiveness (trying to be overly masculine etc is an american invention). of course, in some countries like Egypt things are worst but America shouldn't be at this state with homosexuality.

[AceTracer]

Have to admit those other two were pretty bad. Can't get the capital of China? Really? Vogue? That has two As in it?

[absolutwill]

Let's keep in mind that the level of your education influences your IQ test results. If African Americans have a significant lower average on the IQ test, that could be an indication of a socioeconomic problem.

[AceTracer]

Any IQ test that is influenced by your level of education is a poor one. Some IQ tests deal only with spatial reasoning like the Raven test, and even others require no more than you have a proper understanding of the language in which the test is taken.

[AceTracer]

With that said, the idea that black people have an average IQ score of 85 is preposterous and obviously not true.

[sophiahah]

he looks so young lol

[ChilenoPiscean22]

omg im so glad anderson is gay now i have a chance with him!!! he likes latin men ( who doesnt?)

[shnnwm]

Is it wrong to actually think that a guy who is almost exactly 20 years older than you is so freaking hot? I mean very, very, hot. You know? (Anderson's birthday and mine is only 5 days apart).

[KrushLuck]

lmao keishi(or something) is in the red,maria has no money

anderson cooper is smart,hes very well known

good looking too:)

[kwikimart579]

is anderson cooper a sex symbol yet

[jessyr706]

Well hell if he isn't he should be!

[kwikimart579]

hes like a manly jennifer lopez

[KrushLuck]

what

[kwikimart579]

jennifer lopez is a sexy bitch

[KrushLuck]

then you mean that anderson cooper is like jlo

so that would make you talknig about him in a sexual way..

you gay?(nothing offensive)

[kwikimart579]

no im not gay, im very straight, but a guy knows when a woman would want to fuck another guy, and i happen to know alot of women want to fuck anderson cooper

[KrushLuck]

lmao my bad,i'm sorry,i never thought about that

you're smart guy:P

but i cant believe you're not swearing at me right now for implying that

sorry

[neveralmostthere]

it's horrible that we've reached a point where accidentaly being called gay is insulting. there's nothing wrong with being gay, kwikimart579 just happens not to be. and saying "you're smart guy" as in contrast to the gay comment sends the wrong message.

[brenleyman]

jeopardy seems a little racist, what with a black man in negative dollar figures.

[jebril]

............

[prsnth1111]

Actually, most of the black candidates on Jeopardy have ended up owning, at least the ones that I've seen. Search "Hank jeopardy" for an example. The kids do really well too.

[chian052]

Hank Robinson, while he did well in his quarterfinal game, ended up being locked out in his semifinal game.

If you really want to talk about minority contestants on J! who did well, Christian Haines and Steve Unite are better candidates who were on recently. Both made it to the 2007 Tournament of Champions, each of them winning more than $100,000 each.

Vik Vaz as well, he was the 1st runner up of the 2006 ToC.

[fabfourfanatic4]

This confirms my love for AC.

[Tanru2000]

That woman was stupid. She didn't know anything and she THEN laughed at Anderson saying Baghdad - which was an easy mistake to make Tiber/Tigris. I think she laughed cause I THINK she thought he just said something silly because he didn't know. THEN she didn't know why he said "D'Oh!". "He's making that SIMPSONS thing" she said.

[Tanru2000]

What did Trebek do with his glasses!?!

[gisquared]

Anderson completely decimated the other two! I'm embarrassed for them.

[Ari721]

I would hump him right now...if he knocked on my front door with a camera crew and asked could he film the event, I'd do it! He's just that compelling

[srfurchick88]

does this work? hahaha

DOH! i heart anderson <3

[Armistance]

go andy

[WillBraden]

these are like celebrity jeopardy questions. what war did someone disappear in in 1970? fucking what do you think? the pelopenesian war?

[JEAAnderson]

Wow! Look at Anderson go!! I don't think the other two are dumb, Anderson might just be a faster thinker or faster with the buzzer.

[Malamockq]

Cooper is smart as hell. Don't fuck with him in Jeopardy, those other two goons don't stand a chance.

[Davination]

Anderson KILLS everyone in this...no wonder he has his own show, he's absolutely brilliant. I feel sort of bad for the other 2...not even having that much time/chance to answer, and getting most of 'em wrong. But, that's their fault.

[Eyedunno]

I'm less surprised at how "smart" Cooper is than at how dumb the other two are. These are not hard questions. The pressure of competition and speed with the button are factors here, but "Montibello?" "Vogue" on the AA category? What are they smoking?

[marclepine]

What is Vogue? IDIOT.

[meljc2001]

I usually don't respond to comments like this but I don't think that Jeopardy targets people with "average" intellect to be contestants on their show.

[meljc2001]

With that said, I don't know what evidence you have to support that blacks do indeed have an average IQ of 85 (is it common knowledge that I missed somehow, a new report that didn't find it's way to me?), I am sure that if you took that average IQ of say, whites in America, it could be probable that it would be slightly higher for a number of reasons, the only one I shall offer for the point of defeating your arguement is simply that there are more whites in America.

[meljc2001]

And if you know anything about math, which I assume you know much about it, the average IQ would of course be higher, because there are more of them! And for the record, my IQ happens to be 145. And I'm black by the way, which I am sure you have discerned by now.

[subarusumeragi]

racist much?

[subarusumeragi]

that was pretty racist.

[canadiansaint]

Anderson is great, hes so smart and completely wipes the floor with the others lol

[HanTaiHua]

anderson cooper is a hottie
