but Cooper’s episode was filled with earnest moments of sincere reflection, especially when he shared specific anecdotes about his battle with substance abuse and eventual recovery. He praised Arnett for being a voice of reason in helping him understand that he had a problem and calling him “an Eskimo,” a term popular in 12-step programs referring to the person who helps get you sober.
