Anderson Cooper is poking fun at his own penchant for tripping over his words.

"Why do they have such a bad reputation?" he asks, showing a clip from The Twilight Zone. "They're not creepy at all."
"Now I'm paranoid that 'Mini Cooper' is going to haunt my dreams," he said, adding he was excited to learn more about the art of "ventriloquism."

"Except before I learn how to throw my voice, I think I should learn the art of regular talking," he joked.
