Chris Cuomo was fired by CNN in December 2021 after the network said he was more involved in helping his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, respond to sexual harassment allegations than CNN had known. He later moved into independent media and has continued hosting his own show and podcast.

Quick Scoop

Here’s the short version:

  • What happened: CNN terminated Cuomo “effective immediately” after an outside review into his role in helping his brother’s defense.
  • Why it mattered: The network said new information showed a deeper involvement than previously understood.
  • Afterward: He later resurfaced in independent broadcasting and podcasting, including The Chris Cuomo Project.

Context

Cuomo had been suspended first, then fired after more information came to light about his assistance to Andrew Cuomo’s team. Public reporting at the time also noted that Chris Cuomo said the situation was embarrassing but that he understood the suspension.

Current Status

As of recent public listings, Chris Cuomo is active with his own media project and podcast, which suggests he has remained in the public eye after leaving CNN.
