Anderson is taking his love for NeNe to late night

NeNe is our friend. We're a bit jealous.

Anderson Cooper (How You Doin') announced on Ellen that he loves Nene from 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta". 

But seems like he can't stop talking about it, which bodes well for the show being picked up for a second season. (And why wouldn't there be, Bravo?)

Watch Anderson talk to Jay Leno about NeNe (whose name he finally pronounced correctly) saying she is the "most real" and throws grease at the rest of the 'wives'.
