And a new poll finds the majority of New Yorkers now think the governor did something wrong.
It’s been over a decade since a New York governor was skewered on Saturday Night Live, where the show’s cold open skits have become a cultural touchstone. Eliot Spitzer was satirized for his involvement with prostitutes, and former Governor David Paterson blamed SNL parodies for his slide in approval ratings.
Governor Cuomo was largely exempt from the ribbings, until a report by the state’s Attorney General found that he significantly undercounted the number of New Yorkers in nursing homes who died of Covid. On Saturday’s show, cast member Chloe Fineman playing Britney Spears, asks Pete Davidson, portraying Cuomo, about the scandal.
