On the competition series, Palin had some tense moments with her dance partner, Mark Ballas, whom she accused of not really wanting to work with her.
Introducing the clip with Tuesday’s “Anderson” co-host Deborah Norville, Cooper remarked, “Anybody who’s on a reality show now knows that to get attention you have to take it to another level.”
He explained, “You need to have a wardrobe malfunction, you need to pass out, you need to throw up, you need to have a fight, you need to have a break down… you need a storyline. Bristol Palin is a genius, because last night she developed a storyline that made her very sympathetic.”
Coming back from the footage, Cooper mocked Palin for using her cell phone during the “meltdown,” and saying her face was too “completely frozen” to show emotion.
Meanwhile, Cooper has a plan for certain celebrities.
“I’m thinking of starting a job fair for people,” he joked. “I think there’s a whole bunch of people who just need to get jobs: Lindsay Lohan, Bristol Palin… I think they just need to get some jobs, stop being on TV!”
