Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” ripped former New York governor Andrew Cuomo — taking aim at allegations of sexual-harassment against the pol.
Update co-anchor Michael Che was ready with a sharp barb for Cuomo, who officially announced his candidacy for mayor earlier Saturday in a lengthy video.
“Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to run for mayor of New York City,” Che said.
“Cuomo plans to use his old campaign slogan of ‘honka, honka,’” he added while miming grabbing a woman’s breasts.
The joke alludes to the several women who have accused Cuomo of sexual harassment, which resulted in him resigning from his executive position in the New York government in 2021. Cuomo has denied the allegations.
One of the ex-gov’s accusers said she is disgusted by his reentry into the public square, in an exclusive interview with The Post.
“It’s absolutely disgusting that someone who’s an abuser, not simply of women, but of New Yorkers as a whole, would come out of his cave and think that he is the best person to help New York in crisis,” the unnamed accuser told The Post.
Che and co-anchor Colin Jost also took aim at the blow-up Oval Office meeting with President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky and Elon Musk.
“Now you actually can gamble on World War III . . . on Fan Duel,” co-anchor Colin Jost joked, referencing Trump’s claim that Zelensky was “gambling with World War III.”
Jost later set his sights on Elon Musk, referencing the mass email DOGE sent out, requiring executive branch employees to report to the newly crafted agency five things they did last week.
“[That’s] easier for Elon to do, because all five of his things were ‘got a lady pregnant,’” Jost said to laughs from the Studio 8H crowd.
