♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY,

WE'RE BACK WITH ANDERSON COOPER.

THAT PROVES IT.

HE'S RIGHT THERE, WAVING AND EVERYTHING.

A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO, YOU INTERVIEWED LAS VEGAS MAYOR

CAROLYN GOODMAN, AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU --

>> I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, THAT FEELS LIKE A YEAR AGO TO ME,

BUT, YES.

>> Stephen: WELL, THIS IS A MOMENT THAT CAME OUT OF IT.

HOLD ON.

THIS IS YOU -- HERE WE GO.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: TAKING OFF YOUR GLASSES AND RUBBING YOUR EYES.

YOU LITERALLY LOOK LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO WIPE AWAY WHAT YOU'VE

SEEN AND HEARD.

WHAT'S GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND AT THIS MOMENT, ANDERSON COOPER?

>> WELL, I HAD READ ONE INTERVIEW THAT SHE HAD GIVEN, SO

I SORT OF HAD A SENSE OF HER IDEAS, BUT I WILL SAY SHE

EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.

>> Stephen: AND JUST FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T SEE IT, THE

IDEA WAS LET'S MAKE THE CITIZENS OF LAS VEGAS LAB RATS.

>> A CONTROL GROUP, I BELIEVE WAS LITERALLY HER IDEA.

>> Stephen: YEAH, SURE.

AND I SAID TO HER, YOU WANT THE MAKE THE CITIZENS OF

LAS VEGAS A CONTROL GROUP, SHE SAID, NO, DON'T PUT WORDS MANY

MY MOUTH, TRIED MAKE THEM A CONTROL GROUP.

IT WAS -- OH, YEAH, BASICALLY, SHE WANTS THE STRIP TO OPEN, SHE

WANTS CASINOS TO OPEN, CONVENTION TO COME, EVERYTHING

BACK TO NORMAL, AND THE MARKET WILL DETERMINE WHICH CASINO GETS

THE MOST PEOPLE INFECTED AND DIES AND THEN MARKET WILL MAKE

THAT CASINO CLOSE BECAUSE NO ONE WILL WANT TO GO THERE, EVEN

THOUGH IT'S GOING TO TAKE WAKES FOR THAT TO -- -- TAKE WEEKS

FORT THAT TO WORK OUT.

>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU DO TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE NEWS?

HOW DO YOU GET AWAY FROM IT OR DO YOU AT ALL?

>> WELL, I MEAN, NOW, THANKFULLY, WITH WYATT, YOU

KNOW, THAT IS -- >> Stephen: THE BEST

ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM THERE IS?

>> SO MUCH BETTER THAN IN EFFECT OR ANYTHING.

NO DISRESPECT TO IN EFFECT.

>> Stephen: NO, AND A DIFFERENT TYPE OF STREAMING.

( LAUGHTER ) >> YES.

>> Stephen: YEAH.

THAT KEEPS YOU BUSY, TOO.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF POOH.

>> Stephen: OH, WELCOME!

WELCOME TO A WHOLE NEW WORLD, ANDERSON.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: A WHOLE NEW WORLD.

POOH HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT NAMES.

>> Stephen: MM-HMM.

I LIKE THE FIRST POOH THAT COMES.

RIGHT NOW I'M IN A DIFFERENT PHASE.

RIGHT NOW IT'S A YELLOWISH POOH.

THE ORIGINAL KIND WAS MUCH BETTER.

>> Stephen: YES.

BUT WHERE WAS I?

I TRY TO WATCH THINGS THAT TAKE ME OUT OF MY WORLD AND THE

THINGS THAT MAKE HE RELAX LIKE NARCOS.

BETTER CALL SAUL, BREAK BAD.

>> Stephen: HAPPY STORIES.

I WANT AN EPIC.

LIKE PABLO ESCOBAR SOOTHES ME FOR SOME REASON.

>> Stephen: ARE YOU CATCHING UP ON ON "GAME OF THRONES"?

>> NO, I'M REWATCHING.

I DIDN'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR YOU.

>> NO, I WATCHED FROM THE BEGINNING.

>> Stephen: LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

>> LOVELY TO SEE YOU.

>> Stephen: GIVE MY BEST TO YOUR SON WYATT MORGAN COOPER.

>> YES >> STEPHEN: "ANDERSON COOPER
