♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!

BACK WITH GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT YOUR FATHER AND THE LESSONS YOU

LEARNED FROM HIM.

HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR FATHER WOULD BE HANDLING THIS

CORONAVIRUS RIGHT NOW?

>> BETTER THAN I AM, THAT I CAN TELL YOU.

MY FATHER WAS THE BEST IS THAT HOW DOES HE INSPIRE YOU AND THE

LESSONS HE TAUGHT YOU NOT ONLY ABOUT GOVERNING THE STATE OF

NEW YORK HIMSELF BUT ALSO WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AMERICAN AND

COMMUNITY MINDED, HOW DOES THAT INFLUENCE THE WAY YOU'RE

APPROACHING THIS CRISIS?

>> MY FATHER WAS ALWAYS REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR BEST

SELVES.

IF OUR BETTER ANGELS NEEDED A SPOKESPERSON, THEY WOULD HIRE MY

FATHER, RIGHT?

THAT'S WHERE HE CAME FROM, THAT'S WHAT HE SPOKE TO.

AND I STILL HEAR MY FATHER EVERY DAY, YOU KNOW.

HIS VOICE IS STILL IN MY HEAD, AND HIS LOVE IS STILL IN MY

HEART.

SO HE WOULD BE SAYING RISE ABOVE.

HE WOULD BE SAYING RISE ABOVE.

DON'T GET INTO THE GUTTER WITH THEM, DON'T LET THEM PULL YOU

DOWN, DON'T GO FOR THE BAIT.

RISE ABOVE.

THIS IS A TRANSCENDENT CRISIS, AND IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR

EGO AND YOUR PERSONALITY.

WHO CARES WHAT THEY SAY.

RISE ABOVE AND LEAD PEOPLE UP.

THE STATE MODEL EXCELSIOR, EVER UPWARDS.

I ADDED ANOTHER EXPRESSION TO THE STATE SEAL WHICH WAS ONE OF

HIS FAITHS, EPLURPLURIBUS UNUN, OF MANY, ONE.

COMMUNITY, OUR FOUNDING PREMISE, THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD BE SAYING.

>> Stephen: NOW, I'VE GOT TWO VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO

CLOSE OUT WITH HERE, GOVERNOR.

I NEED TO ASK YOU ABOUT A RECENT SURVEY.

2,000 PEOPLE WERE SURVEYED, AND THEY FOUND THAT THE CUOMO

BROTHERS, YOU AND CHRIS, TIED AS THE MOST DESIRABLE MEN IN

NEW YORK.

AS THE OLDER BROTHER, CAN YOU ABIDE BY A TIE?

DO YOU WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO PUSH YOURSELF OVER THE TOP?

LOOSEN A BUTTON, SMOLDERING STARE?

>> FIRST OF ALL, MY BROTHER HAS TO BE DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE HE'S

MARRIED, SO HE'S NOT ELIGIBLE.

HE'S OUT.

>> Stephen: THERE IT IS.

THERE IT IS.

HE'S OUT OF THE COMPETITION, HE'S OUT OF THE RUNNING, I WIN.

>> Stephen: OKAY.

IN THE MOVIE OF THIS WHEN IT'S FINALLY MADE, WHO DO YOU WANT TO

HAVE PLAYED YOU BECAUSE LAST NIGHT, WE ALREADY KNOW BRAD PITT

IS PLAYING DR. FAUCI, LAST NIGHT I HAD DE NIRO ON THE SHOW AND HE

WANTS TO PLAY YOU.

DO YOU APPROVE OF THAT CASTING?

>> HOW DO WE GET BRAD PITT TO DR. FAUCI?

>> Stephen: DR. FAUCI ASKED THAT, IN THE MOVIE, HE WOULD

LIKE IF BRAD PITT WOULD PLAY DR. FUTUREY, AND PITT SHOULD UP

ON S.N.L. AS DR. FAUCI.

THAT'S CAST AT THIS POINT, I'M SORRY.

>> THAT'S DONE.

DE NIRO.

I AM A BIG DE NIRO FAN.

HE IS JUST PHENOMENAL.

THE BREADTH OF HIS ABILITY -- I MEAN, JUST LOOK AT ALL THE ROLES

HE'S PLAYED.

HE CAN DO ANYTHING, RIGHT?

DEER HUNTER, CAPE FEAR, HE CAN DO COMEDY.

HOW ABOUT TAXI DRIVER?

>> Stephen: SURE.

I'M GOING TO DO TAXI DRIVER.

THE NEXT PRESS CONFERENCE WHEN A REPORTER ASKS ME A QUESTION --

YOU TALKIN' TO ME?

YOU TALKIN' TO ME?

OH, THAT WOULD BE A TREAT.

I'M A BIG DE NIRO FAN.

HE'S GENIUS.

>> Stephen: THANKS FOR KEEPING US INFORMED AND SAFE.

>> THANK YOU, STEPHEN.

ALL THE BEST TO YOU.

STAY SAFE, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

>> Stephen: GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO, EVERYBODY.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
