If you're looking to make conversation with CNN's Anderson Cooper -- and we're not saying we sit around some days wondering what we'd talk about if we were ever stuck in an elevator with him or anything -- might we suggest catching up on your "Real Housewives of Atlanta"?

Appearing on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" on Tuesday, Anderson made clear his affinity for Bravo's newest reality show, as well as its breakout star NeNe Leakes. "I like to keep abreast of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta,'" Anderson told Ellen. "[This is one] of the shows that I'm currently a little bit obsessed with."

And he's doing his best to get Ellen hooked too. When she admitted she hasn't been watching, Anderson pounced: "What have you been doing? So you don't know anything about NeNe? Well, honey, I don't even know where to begin with NeNe! You really have to watch it to really enjoy the fullness of NeNe."

While Anderson has previously -- while guest hosting on "Regis and Kelly" -- slammed reality stars on shows like "Living Lohan," he's obviously hooked on SOME reality shows. He also talked to Ellen about his fondness for "Dancing with the Stars," saying he'll keep an eye on it while filming his CNN show.

Do you want NeNe to be a guest on Anderson's show, or vice-versa?
