‘Enough of Cuomo bro show’

Americans have spoken with their clickers — and they’re sick of the Chris and Andrew Cuomo show. Chris yuks it up with his gov-bro during an almost daily “check-in” on Chris’ CNN show since the pandemic closed New York — and viewers want it to stop. At first, the shtick was successful. Ratings hit an all-time high on March 30, with 862,000 daily viewers in the 25-54 age demographic. But since then, according to the Daily Mail, the ratings for Cuomo Prime Time have tanked, plummeting 50 percent since Chris recovered from COVID-19.

While all the cable-news shows have seen ratings drop due to pandemic exhaustion, Chris has particularly grated with interviews with his older brother — in which they have argued over whom their mother loved more; Andrew’s “double barrel shotgun” nose; and Andrew’s “single status.” The segments have been panned as ratings stunts done for laughs.

The Cuomos were slammed last week by Queens City Councilman Eric Ulrich, who is demanding that the council probe Gov. Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes.

“Thus far, the governor has avoided answering tough questions,” Ulrich fumed.

“Journalism that truly aims to restore trust in media would hold Andrew Cuomo to account for these missteps,” David A. Graham wrote in The Atlantic this week. “The problem comes when the efforts to juice ratings start to get in the way of accurate journalism that holds officials accountable.”

“The View” co-host Meghan McCain also blasted the bros, retweeting journalist Nicholas Fondacaro, who said: “Instead of asking his brother . . . why he decided to pack COVID patients into nursing homes, killing untold amounts of people, @ChrisCuomo pulled out oversized prop cotton swabs to mock how big his brother’s nose was. This is the state of ‘journalism’ on @CNN.”
