Anderson Cooper has made a quick recovery.
The CNN anchor will be back on the air tonight after heading to the hospital over the weekend to have his appendix removed.
Here's what we know: Cooper had some stomach pains a week ago while covering Ferguson protests in Missouri. He then traveled to France for Thanksgiving to visit a sick friend. The pains got worse, but he thought it was food poisoning.
When he landed back home in New York on Sunday, he went to see his doctor, who told him to head to the ER - stat!
Cooper had surgery on Sunday and stayed overnight at New York hospital. He was sent home on Monday.
