Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo Interview Funny
NOW that CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been indefinitely suspended by the network it's a fine time to look back on his most ridiculous on-air moments with his brother Andrew.
The broadcaster took the action after it emerged he tried to help brother Andrew during his sexual harassment scandal which forced him to resign as New York Governor.

According to new documents released this week, Chris Cuomo was in contact with one of his brother's top aides Melissa DeRosa and offered to help craft his defense against the shock claims.
There's plenty to choose from but The Sun has picked out the crème de la crème.
NASAL SWAB

Who can forget the then New York Governor 'joking' around on Chris' show in May last year as the Covid pandemic bit and the death toll in the state was rising.
Andrew was the butt of his brother's jokes, who laughed that he had a big nose and required a baseball bat-sized nasal swab for a test.

While the brothers were fooling around, Chris pulled out a cotton swab the size of a baseball bat, and teased Andrew: "So then, in scale, this was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double-barrel shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face?"
The pair came under heavy fire for their light-hearted approach when the state had suffered more than 23,000 deaths from the virus.
LOVE GOV
Viewers cringed in March this year when footage re-emerged from April 2020 where Andrew Cuomo proclaimed himself "I am the Love Gov".
The embarrassing clip resurfaced as Chris Cuomo told viewers on Monday night he "obviously" couldn't cover the sexual harassment claims surrounding his older brother Andrew.
"I've always been a soft guy," The Governor responded to a query from his brother about the moniker. "I am the Love Gov. I'm a cool dude in a loose mood. You know that. I just say let it go. Just go with the flow baby."
The nauseating nickname somewhat foreshadowed the then recent allegations against him and highlighted his laid-back attitude to his position, two weeks after the Gov's controversial directive that sent Covid-positive patients into nursing homes.
'SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE'

Another cringe-worthy moment came in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic when the host of Cuomo Prime Time had his brother on the show for a light-hearted interview.
"Do you think you are an attractive person now because you're single and ready to mingle?" the CNN anchor asked. "Do you think that you're some desirable single person and that this is not just people's pain coming out of them?"
"I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder," the governor replied.
"Listen to you, you got an answer for anything. You're feeling pretty good about yourself these days, aren't ya?" the anchor laughed.
The interview was reportedly slammed by critics as the nursing home scandal began to haunt the governor.
DREAM BALLET OUTFIT
Chris joined his brother's press conference in April 2020 via a video link for a jaw-dropping exchange with New York being the epicentre of the Covid outbreak in the US at the time.
After Andrew provided an update on the grim situation in the state the brothers fell into exchanging banter with one another.
Chatting about how he had been affected by contracting the coronavirus, Chris revealed he had been hit by a fever and suffered hallucinations.
"You came to me in a dream," the journalist told his brother.
"You had on a very interesting ballet outfit, and you were dancing in the dream, and you were waving a wand and saying, 'I wish I could wave my wand and make this go away,' and then you spun around and danced away," Chris Cuomo said.
Gov. Cuomo replied, "Obviously the fever has affected your mental capacity."
'BEST POLITICIAN'
As the Covid pandemic continued to rage across the state in June 2020 the brothers linked up once again with the conversation turning to discuss their close familial bond.
They discussed their parents upcoming anniversary and "being spawned from the same wolfpack".
Chris continued, "Obviously I love you as a brother, obviously I will never be objective, obviously I think you're the best politician in the country."
MOM'S FAVORITE?

The brotherly love banter popped up once more in March 2020 as Andrew continued with his daily press briefings about the coronavirus.
This time the pair light-heartedly discuss which one their mom loved the most.
"I know you're working hard for your state, but no matter how hard you're working, there's always time to call Mom," Chris told Andrew.
Andrew had just called her, he replied. "The good news is she said you are her second-favorite son, Christopher." The next time, Andrew said he was only on air because "Mom told me I had to."
Later on, he told Chris, "You're better than me."
"Only on the basketball court," Chris replied.
'MY BEST FRIEND'

The unashamed brotherly affection continued at the end of March last year with Andrew discussing his brother becoming ill having caught Covid.
The New York Governor waxed lyrical about his brother saying he "does a beautiful job" and said he was "a sweet guy and my best friend" but was at the time quarantined in his basement.
Between March 19 and June 24, 2020, the governor appeared on his brother's show a total of nine times.
"I found these interviews to be very entertaining, and perhaps Chris could ask questions of his brother that other people can't," said Roy Gutterman, a media law professor at Syracuse University. "But from the very beginning, I thought it was wildly inappropriate.
"It's Journalism 101," he said. "We tell our students you shouldn't interview your family and friends."
"We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest," CNN said. "As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing his brother, and that rule remains in place today."
