30 years ago today, my brother, Carter Cooper, died by suicide. He was 23 years old. I miss him, and think about him every day. The shock of his death is as painful today as it was thirty years ago. • THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS, THEY ARE EXTRAORDINARILY MOVING AND MEANINGFUL TO ME. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR OWN LOSSES AND EXPERIENCES WITH ME.
#tbt when i was just starting to work as a reporter for #channelone news. 1992.
#tbt first press pass that I used overseas in conflicts in #Myanmar, #Somalia, #Bosnia, and #Rwanda and a bunch of other places starting in 1991. Can’t believe I survived some of those places, and have been doing this for 27 years. It has been the great privilege of my life to bear witness around the globe.
How many nights dancing? How many early mornings? How many laughs and giggles? How many silly stories told, and memories made? How many rooftop dinners and concerts and trips? How many confidences shared? More than I can ever thank you for. There is no one else like you, and I am so lucky to have you in my life. I love you. Happy birthday @kellyripa
On some trip, some airport, I think, somewhere, sometime.
Got to meet @SullyHWBush. Such a good boy! Amazing what dogs can do for our military veterans. #AmericasVetDogs
When i was 17 i left high school early and rode on an #encounteroverland truck for about 6 months, from South Africa to the Central African Republic. This photo was taken in the Ituri rainforest in #Zaire, now the Democratic Republic Of Congo. I’d been hospitalized with malaria, and was still recovering. 1985.
Why is @bravoandy grooming me like a chimp? This weekend our #SanFrancisco AC2 show is sold out, but still some tickets available for Saturday, Dec 1 in #LosAngeles! We are sooo excited for both shows! Come see us live @dolbytheatre. Tickets at ac2live.com
Back when i had a buzz cut.
Let us not remember the names of those who’ve killed, let us remember the names of those who’ve lived with dignity and kindness, and courage: David and Cecil Rosenthal. Joyce Fienberg. Melvin Wax. Rose Mallinger. Bernice and Sylvan Simon. Daniel Stein. Jerry Rabinowitz. Irving Younger. Richard Gottfried. #Pittsburgh.
Frozen mango on a stick…. maybe the best thing ever! Just one of several dozen things i love about #Seoul. Such a cool city! I may have to stop and get another frozen mango popsicle before speaking at the #CNHForum2018 tomorrow…. and maybe one afterwards. Come on NYC where are the frozen mango popsicles?
On vacation, hanging out with the sweetest dog.
Happy Birthday @madonna! Thankfully, this photo gives little indication of the absolutely pathetic job i did dancing when she pulled me on stage with her.
So nice to come home and find a warm pup waiting. #Welshspringerspaniel
So happy that @bravoandy is back again with me this New Year’s Eve! Can’t wait! #CNN

rehearsing for tonight’s @cnnheroes with @kellyripa, who is so generous with her time and love! The @cnnheroes are so inspiring! See them tonight starting at 8pm. And thank you @ricky_martin for the shirt and for all you are doing for #PuertoRico through @rm_foundation.
I’m still finding confetti in various nooks and crannies after shooting this! Can’t wait for NYE! #CNN 8pm
Was an honor to have met @arethasings while filling in with @kellyripa. What a life… what a talent… what a contribution she made!
I love the announcer’s voice at the end of this one!
