When I was in junior high, we had this thing called Channel One in our school. Every classroom got a free TV, and all we had to do was watch a kid-friendly quasi-news show every day that was 60% Mountain Dew commercials. The anchors were all wannabe actors, but there was a tenacious 20-year-old prematurely-gray reporter who routinely dodged shrapnel in Kosovo to bring some actual news to us uninformed 12-year-olds. His name was Anderson Cooper and today he's 41.
Anderson Cooper's last Daily Show appearance is after the jump.

I had Channel One, as well! We also had it in High School, the only difference was that in high school none of the teachers turned the television on for it. Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling were both memorable correspondents.
