FORMER CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was well-known as the host of Cuomo Prime Time until he was fired from his position.
After Chris' dismissal from CNN on Saturday, December 4, 2021, following a previous suspension from the news station, he will be returning to primetime television on October 3, 2022.
How tall is Chris Cuomo?
Chris Cuomo is an American television journalist and political commentator. It has been reported that he is 6-foot-2, but that is not confirmed.
Cuomo is the brother of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo.
Cuomo has previously been the ABC News chief law and justice correspondent and the co-anchor for ABC's 20/20.
He attended Yale, where he earned an undergraduate degree, and Fordham, where he earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) in 1995.
He is a licensed attorney.
How old is he?
Chris is 52 years old.
Andrew Cuomo, Chris's brother, was the 56th Governor of New York, after being elected as the state's Attorney General from 2006 to 2010.
The Governor was leading the state through the worst viral pandemic that the nation has faced, leaving thousands dead.
It was revealed that Chris Cuomo and other senior members of the governor’s staff advised the politician on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations made by women on his former team.
Chris joined in on a series of conference calls with members of his communications and litigation team in crafting a response to allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct.
The cable news anchor encouraged his brother to take a defiant position and not to resign from the governor’s office, reported the Washington Post.
What did CNN say about Chris Cuomo?
CNN then made a statement acknowledging Chris Cuomo's involvement was a mistake.
"Chris has not been involved in CNN’s extensive coverage of the allegations against Governor Cuomo — on air or behind the scenes," CNN said in a statement.
"In part because, as he has said on his show, he could never be objective. But also because he often serves as a sounding board for his brother," the statement read.
It continues, "However, it was inappropriate to engage in conversations that included members of the Governor’s staff, which Chris acknowledges. He will not participate in such conversations going forward.”
CNN suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, before they announced his termination on Saturday, December 4.
"Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense," they said.
"We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately.
"While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”
After spending several months away from hosting, Chris Cuomo will be returning to primetime television on October 3, 2022.
His show, CUOMO, which airs on NewsNation on October 3, 2022, at 8pm ET, will feature celebrity guests in its premiere week.
The guests include Andrew Yang, Stephen A. Smith, Bill Maher, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Whoopi Goldberg, and Tulsi Gabbard.
