Anderson Cooper has built one of the most decorated careers in American television news. His 18 Emmy Awards place him among the most-honored anchors in the industry, and his two Peabody Awards recognize the depth of his reporting. The 2011 Edward R. Murrow Award from the Overseas Press Club acknowledged his international coverage, while Haiti's National Order of Honour and Merit honored his work after the 2010 earthquake. In 2016, he became the first openly LGBT person to moderate a U.S. presidential debate, a historic first that added a new dimension to his legacy. GLAAD has recognized him multiple times for his contributions to LGBT visibility.
