Ozzy Auditions to be Anderson Cooper’s CNN Announcer

Ozzy proves to all doubters he can count to five

Clearly, the Blizzard of Ozz wasn’t taking himself seriously when he entered the CNN studios to audition for the announcer slot for Anderson Cooper’s program AC360. And we’re not sure how determined Cooper is to even find an announcer — though he claims CNN have been searching for the perfect voice to introduce the show ever since NBC hired Michael Douglas to intro the Nightly News.

Of course, none of this takes away from the comic value of the Ozzy audition, which can be seen here in all its cringe-worthy glory. Kind of takes us back to when Ozzy tried to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley Field in 2003 without knowing the words. Hear the audio of that debacle here.
