Anderson Cooper Gets Surgery For Skin Cancer

CNN host Anderson Cooper went under the knife on Monday to have “a small spot of skin cancer removed from under [his] left eye.”

Explaining the stitches under his left eye, Anderson said, “I’ve been off for the last couple of days. I had minor surgery on Monday. I hadn’t planned on mentioning this, but I still have stitches and you’ll no doubt notice them tonight.”

He then joked, “Don’t want you to think I got into a fist fight with Charlie Rose.”

Very funny, Mr. Cooper.

Tune in tonight to watch Anderson Cooper 360 @ 10PM ET/PT on CNN. They’ll be talking to Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama about his relationship with the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Iraq, the economy, and the campaign.
