Actor Matt Damon joined Anderson Cooper on Anderson on December 21 with Scarlett Johanson. Over the course of the show, an audience member asked Damon if he has plans to appear on the Great White Way in the near future. Though he has been involed in numerous hit films, and frequents the Broadway Red Carpet, he has yet to make his Broadway debut.

Check out the video to find out his answer!

Anderson Cooper made his Broadway debut early in 2011 as a voiceover in the hit HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING starring Daniel Radcliffe and John Laroquette. Cooper is an American journalist, author, and television personality. He is the primary anchor of the CNN news show Anderson Cooper 360°. The program is normally broadcast live from a New York City studio; however, Cooper often broadcasts live on location for breaking news stories. As of September 2011, he also serves as host of his own eponymous syndicated daytime talk show, Anderson in which he often talks to stars. www.andersoncooper.com
