Last week, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) and his younger brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, went viral after getting into what appeared to be a spur-of-the-moment debate on live television over who is their mother’s favorite son. So when people learned the elder Cuomo would be back on his brother’s show Monday, anticipation for another night of entertainment was high.
The brothers didn’t disappoint.
They got into it early when Chris, famous for loudly interrupting his guests, attempted to cut off Andrew, who had been talking for several minutes, so the show could break for commercials.
“Governor, I’m sorry to interrupt you,” Chris said.
“Then don’t,” Andrew shot back. “If you’re sorry about interrupting me, don’t interrupt me.”
“I know, but you have a little bit of Pop’s gift where you kind of keep going,” the anchor responded, referring to the pair’s late father, former New York governor and revered Democratic Party figure Mario Cuomo.
