Way to bounce back! After missing his CNN show on Monday, Dec. 1, Anderson Cooper is set to return to his regularly scheduled programming on Tuesday, Dec. 2 — just two days following emergency surgery to have his appendix removed.
According to his Twitter account, the 47-year-old silver fox underwent an appendectomy on Sunday night, Nov. 30. He took Monday off to recover but assured fans he'd be ready to cover the news again the next night.
I'll be back on air tomorrow. Had an appendicitis and had to have sudden surgery last night

A rep for CNN told The New York Post's Page Six that the Anderson Cooper 360 host started feeling sick last week, when he was covering Ferguson protests in Missouri. He apparently thought he had food poisoning, but upon his return to New York on Sunday afternoon, his doctor warned otherwise.
"He went from the airport to the doctor's office and, after a quick exam, his doctor told Anderson that he needed to go to the ER right away," the rep told the Post. He spent Sunday night in the hospital before being released on Monday.
"I am very thankful for the efforts of my doctor and the doctors and nurses at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center," the CNN anchor told Page Six.
