I love 60 Minutes, excellent program. Anderson you are my favorite 60 Minutes journalist, reporter. Best of luck as you go forward with whatever you do. Maybe you could occasionally do a guest story?🤔😆 You will be missed like mad, and are loved. ♥️

What a wonderful tribute to an amazing career Anderson! I looked up what the Mtn Gorilla count is at now 19yrs later in the Congo. There are approximately 350 mountain gorillas living in the DRC. Residing entirely within the 7,800-square-kilometer Virunga National Park. Across the entire region, the global wild population sits at just over 1,000... 🥺 Plumpy'Nut nutrition continues to be sent to starving children in Africa, with UNICEF being the largest global supplier. Bravo! 🥜

Can't believe he's leaving! Hope he enjoys his time with his kids and that he'll come back at some point in the future.

Dear Anderson Cooper, You are legend. Such an incredible journalist. I have felt, viscerally, the stories you have covered. I respect you for choosing your role as father to your sons. You will never regret that choice. Our children are young and impressionable for such a short time. But I will look forward to your future stories. I wish you only the very best going forward.
