Diane Sawyer 360: Like Sam and Diane, If Sam Were, You Know...
This is never gonna happen for a couple million reasons, but isn't it pretty to think so? Tom Shales speculates as to Diane Sawyer's future:
Let's say, though, that Sawyer stays at "GMA" (though her agreement allows her to leave before summer). The show will never have a shot at No. 1 with those two at the helm, so what could be done to rejuvenate it? Sawyer needs a partner worthy of her-a male partner to give the show variety and sexual tension. How about this: Anderson Cooper. Languishing and almost vanishing within the stuffy confines of CNN, super Cooper needs and deserves a much better showcase. Imagine Cooper and Sawyer side-by-side at 7 a.m. They'd be the most gorgeous and telegenic couple in the history of the morning news.
And the sexual tension? Palpable. Oh cruel fate, why would you deny this pairing?
