As if he’s not going to be getting enough lobbying during the convention, Anderson Cooper was put on the spot by WCCB‘s FOX News Rising co-host and staff meteorologist Derek James.

The Charlotte morning anchor openly pitched Cooper, in town for the Democratic National Convention, for a spot as co-host on Cooper’s show “Anderson Live” (video above).

Though he left without promising work for James, Cooper did hang on to the over sized business card he was given.
