Andy Cohen’s son, Benjamin Allen, has given Smokey Bear a new meaning.
During a Thursday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CNN anchor, Anderson Cooper, opened up about regular weekend getaways with his partner Cohen and Cohen’s son Ben (2).
“So you really have to keep an eye on Andy’s son,” host Jimmy Kimmel told his guest when Cooper, 53, pointed out the age difference between Ben and Cooper’s son, Wyatt Morgan, who turns 1 later this month.
“You have no idea,” the television journalist said before starting a hilarious story with a talking bear who gifted Wyatt.
“My son has not even played with it yet, and suddenly there is this smell and smoke, and we realize that Andy’s son took my son’s bear, put it in the microwave and turned it on,” Cooper recalls.

“I mean, he baked the bear,” a straightforward Cooper continued amid the laughter of Kimmel (53) and the audience. “It was ten seconds in there. And literally smoke came out.”
“Smokey the Bear, of course!” Said Kimmel. “It makes sense!”
“Kids do the darnest things,” Cooper said before the host jokingly added, “Keep Wyatt away from the Cohen boy, I do not know how many times I have told you.”
The Anderson Cooper 360 ° host said earlier in the conversation that Cohen, 52, and Ben regularly visit on Sundays – but Cooper suspects his friend may have other than social intentions.
‘I started to realize he’s just coming because he does not know what else to do with his son [during] these gaping complaints of time, “Cooper said. Watch what happens live host.

Cooper explained that Cohen had recently called him and said he “wanted to do about three hours” after Cooper asked what activity he wanted to do with the children.
“He just thinks about it in blocks of time,” Cooper joked. ‘There was once’ I’m not going to be here ‘and he was like,’ Oh no, that’s good. He just needs a place to go! ‘
The proud father, who will soon be the host Danger!, is also ready to celebrate Wyatt’s first birthday on April 27 – but as a self-proclaimed ‘really bad planner’, he admitted, ‘I haven’t really planned anything yet.’
“[Wyatt] of course do not know what’s going on with it, so I realized the only thing that really matters … do you know how they staged the moon landing? “I’m just going to bring it to the table,” he joked. I get a prop cake and put on a hat and [have] balloons and maybe hire people to stand around, and then I can show him years later that he had a wonderful experience [first] birthday party. “
In all seriousness, Cooper said with a smile, ‘Yeah, I’ll probably get some friends and a [real] party. “
