John Oliver rips into Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 'glee in his public adulation' amid coronavirus, harassment scandals

John Oliver ripped into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s affinity for his own media hype during the latest episode of his HBO show “Last Week Tonight” on Sunday. 

Two women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against Cuomo that he denies. Meanwhile, he is also facing criticism for allegedly underreporting nursing home coronavirus deaths by as much as 50% to avoid federal scrutiny. Oliver noted that, even prior to the scandals, there was "something gross" about the way Cuomo presented himself to the public while New York was the epicenter of the deadly virus at the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
