Anderson Cooper is celebrating a major career milestone.
According to People, the 59-year-old marked 25 years at CNN on Wednesday, Nov. 11 by sharing a throwback picture from his early days on the network to his Instagram Story.
“Was hired by @cnn 25 years ago today,” Cooper wrote alongside the picture, which featured him in a blue and white flannel shirt holding a camera.
He then made a joke about his hair transformation over the years.
“Time definitely flies, and gray hair spreads,” he wrote.
The nostalgia-filled Instagram Story comes after the CNN anchor opened up about his work at CNN in an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in April.
“I feel incredibly privileged and I’m incredibly grateful for having had the career that I’ve had and the opportunity to travel all around the world,” he said on the show.
He shared that he’s “worked in seventy something countries” and spoken to people “often in the worst moment of their lives.”
Cooper then underscored that, while media is changing and “everybody’s got an opinion and a podcast” (the CNN anchor quipped that he too has a podcast), legacy media provides vital information and connects viewers with what’s happening around the world.
“Somebody’s got to go out and provide the actual reporting for everyone else to talk about and form an opinion,” he said.
Cooper explained that he still believes “there is great value in having a news organization which has bureaus all over the world” that provide journalists with the opportunity to “go there and talk to people and turn on your camera.”
“That camera is a tiny piece of glass but it can transmit [the] truth,” he said.
The 59-year-old concluded by sharing that he feels “lucky that I’ve been able to be a small part of it for all these years.”
