CNN's hunky anchorman Anderson Cooper went through a surgical procedure on Monday to have a small spot of skin cancer removed from under his left eye.

Explaining the stitches under his left eye, Anderson said, "I've been off for the last couple of days. I had minor surgery on Monday. I hadn't planned on mentioning this, but I still have stitches and you'll no doubt notice them tonight."

He then joked, "Don't want you to think I got into a fist fight with Charlie Rose."
