Giggles

Sometimes things are so funny that you cannot just hold it in.  And holding a giggle is sometimes a must when you are on national TV.  Otherwise, you will wind up on Youtube.  Well that is just what happened last night.  Anderson Cooper, probably one of the most professional host of TV today, couldn't hold it in long, and lost any restraint and let the giggles roll in.  Watch the video below and see what I mean. 

That makes the second person that I think can laugh like that.  And the other person would be Adam Goldberg when he guest starred in the hit show Friends.  So what caused him to laugh this much?  Well I turned to The Washington Post for more information, saying:

"During a pun-filled segment devoted to Gerard Depardieu’s recent urinating-on-a-plane incident, Cooper gamely stifled laughter while pumping out commentary that involved phrases like “an actual thespian actually thes-peein’” as well as a particularly clever play on words that involved Depardieu’s role in “La Vie en Rose.” (That movie was about Edith Piaf. You can probably guess where that one went.)

But at the 2:30 mark in the video below — when Cooper says the cleaning crew should “thank their lucky stars it wasn’t Depar-doo” — the distinguished journalist once hailed for his investigative reports during Hurricane Katrina starts giggling like a preteen girl with braces and a vicious Justin Bieber crush."

I think he laughed more about his choice of words than the actual situation.  But I think it was a moment where he should be allowed to laugh, given he has to report on Debt problems, the President, wars and other issues all the time. 

So what do you think about it?  Was he allowed to giggle about something so silly, or do you think it was unprofessional?
