The CNN news anchor reminisced about past Madonna concerts he and Rippa attended together, including one where the Queen of Pop drew him onstage.
“Do you remember the time you were plucked out of the stage in Brooklyn?” Ripa asked about their experience seeing Madonna on tour in 2015.
“Oh god. That I chose to forget,” the 56-year-old said. “I loved the whole idea of it, loved the experience of it, I don’t love the video that exists of it.”
Cooper is referring to video footage taken where she would invite an audience member on stage with her and then playfully bend them over and spank them before giving them a banana.
“I didn’t know what the hell was going on,” Cooper said of his experience on stage. “I was terrible. I danced terribly. It was mortifying.”
But Cooper isn’t the only celeb to participate, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry and Diplo were also party to the sexy shenanigans on other nights of the tour.
“All of a sudden you find yourself standing, like, on this thing and then she hands you a banana,” he explained.
“And right before that she pushed me over and humped me. Which I didn’t expect at all,” he continued. “So I just open up and start to peel it and eat the banana and then all of a sudden I start to lower on this little electronic elevator disappearing on the stage eating this banana…to this day I don’t know what happened.”
