“The Five” responded Tuesday to new details that emerged in the Andrew Cuomo investigation showing that his brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, was more closely involved in advising him in his scandals than previously known. CNN announced Tuesday evening it was suspending the “Cuomo Prime Time” host “indefinitely.”
“My theory is … as long as Joy Reid is employed, no one should ever be fired,” Greg Gutfeld said before the suspension announcement at CNN. “Cuomo is a pompous, self-involved a–. That’s why we love him. You get rid of him, I lose at least three to five segments a week of fun on my show. I am so pro-Cuomo.”

Former Gov. Cuomo was being investigated for “allegations of and circumstances surrounding sexual harassment claims made against” him,” New York Attorney General Tish James’ office said.
Text messages released by the attorney general’s office showed that the CNN host not only provided guidance but was intimately involved in helping his brother by looking to find information on potential looming reports and on at least one accuser as the governor battled the sexual harassment allegations.
Chris Cuomo told a top aide to the former governor, Melissa DeRosa, “I have a lead on the wedding girl.”
The text was sent after The New York Times reported on a sexual harassment allegation that occurred at a 2019 wedding.
“I would never do oppo research on anybody alleging anything like this,” Cuomo told New York investigators. “And I was never aware of anything like what you’re suggesting, nor did I ever participate in, nor did I ever suggest, nor would I ever tolerate anything like what you’re suggesting.”
