Anderson Cooper's evening persona would not be pleased with his daytime self. Seems a teenager is in a coma after an Anderson producer coaxed the boy into careless behavior for an episode on the "teenage mind," Gawker reports. A source says the producer "encouraged [the] kid to go out and 'film the crazy stuff you do.'" The boy went skateboarding and suffered a severe head injury on the day he planned to visit New York for the show. Cooper is said to be "distraught." (More Anderson Cooper stories.)
