There's another gem in this story: Griffin says she got paid $150,000 for her one night of work for CNN, then backhands that Anderson Cooper gets $10,000,000 a year.
Cooper's show, Anderson Cooper 360, airs 5 days a week, all year. That means he appears, counting vacations, between 200 and 250 times a year, which means that Cooper is making around $40,000 to $50,000 a night.
