Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin filmed a pilot yesterday at CNN, Deadline reports:
Details about the hourlong project are sketchy, but I've learned that it had a lot of humor in it and filmed in front of a live audience — which I hear included new CNN topper Jeff Zucker. While it is unclear whether the project is definitely for CNN, Zucker has been looking to shake things up at the ratings-challenged cable news network by adding more mainstream entertainment fare. The annual New Year's Eve pairing of Cooper and Griffin draws solid ratings and generates a lot of headlines with racy moments like Griffin getting up close and personal with Cooper's private parts this year.
The pilot was reportedly shot at NYC's Time Warner Center.
