The 'Anderson Cooper 360' host addressed his former colleague and 'friend' being let go from the news network while appearing on 'The Late Late Show' Thursday night.
When asked whether Cooper felt like terminating Cuomo was the “right thing to do,” the anchor shared that while he feels for Chris and his family, journalism has ethics and standards that come with “repercussions” when not adhered to.
Cooper denied he had been notified about Cuomo’s firing ahead of CNN’s announcement on Dec. 4, and asserted that he had no knowledge the news organization held any meeting notifying the staff. When asked whether anyone was surprised by Cuomo’s firing following a year of public discussion over the anchor’s potential conflicts of interest with regards to his brother, Cooper responded that people were certainly surprised “when it happened.”

The Joint Commission on Public Ethics on Monday gave Cuomo 30 days to turn over all money he was paid by a publisher for his book “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic.” The commission, which has regulatory oversight over lobbyists and government officials, concluded Cuomo had improperly gotten help from state employees to write and promote the book, and as such had to forfeit his earnings, which could reach $5.1 million.
