Which closeted TV icon enjoys “watersports” in his bedroom? His steady stream of gentleman callers are a little grossed out by it.

    Please god, not Anderson. I'm saying Seacrest as default.

    Would anyone really consider Anderson Cooper to be "closeted"?

    Another "watersports" blind??? Regis Philbin(just kidding) I actually thought of Anderson Cooper, just not sure if he would be considered an icon.

    I hope it isn't Anderson Cooper and even if it is we don't need to know it. He seems to be a pretty nice person and deserving of his privacy.

    So if it's him in this case it would be TMI for me.

    If I were a gay man, I can't imagine being grossed out by anything AC did. ;) I vote Seacrest.

    I would love for it to be Bill O'Reilly!! ;)

    Alas, my gut says Anderson Cooper. He may not be closeted to his friends, but he has not come out professionally.

    I hesitate to think of AC as closeted, though because I don't think he's ever denied it. He said somewhere that he likes to keep his private life private because of the way he observed his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt's open way with the press.

    Whenever a celebrity outs themselves to the public, there's the whole media interview/sit down thing, and I just think he wants to avoid that hoopla. It's not like he's hiding behind any beards. I respect that.

    I wouldn't call Anderson Cooper closeted. While he doesn't like to discuss his sexuality and has made no announcments about being gay, he doesn't hide it either. I once saw him on Larry King. King asked him about some guy he had worked with and Cooper said that he had actually dated the guy for awhile and that now they're just friends. So I wouldn't call that in the closet.

    I was thinking icon meaning someone like Dick Clark

    Andy Rooney.

    No seriously, what about Shephard Smith? Maybe not an icon in the true sense of the word, but...

    I think most people here aren't paying enough attention to the word "icon." The people jokingly offering up Andy Rooney and Larry King would seem to be warmer as they're naming people who are something close to real ICONS.

    To me, a TV icon issomeone like Alex Trebek, who's been on TV seemingly since it was invented, or nearly anyone from "60 Minutes." Can no one name a true icon?

    I'm going with any "Sesame Street" character. Or Bart Simpson; he's yellow.

    I think that BinkyM and Pookie are on the right track in that the word 'icon' is definitely someone who is revered in the TV industry. Lorne Michaels would be a good guess as would Regis Philbin (jokingly). Definitely someone of that nature. However, someone brought up the 'gentleman caller' comment ... is this person Southern? British?

    When I hear Gentleman Caller, I think "The Glass Menagerie." Drawing a blank here, though -- Tennessee Wms, Jim O'Conner -- I got nothing.

    Anderson Cooper apparently has a steady boyfriend, which may excuse him from the "steady stream" (har har) of gentlemen callers.

    Jerry Seinfeld?

    I know he's married, but who knows...

    Larry Hagman

    JR Ewing is definitely an icon, and southern, if "gentleman callers" is a clue about that.

    Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is "watersports" and why would people be grossed out, is it the golden showers regime'?

    Uh oh! Merv Griffin died in August 2007. He'd provide dusty showers, not wet ones. I completely forgot about that. (And so, apparently, did Linda!) Our bad!
