It's safe to say Andrew and Chris Cuomo, the sons of the late New York governor Mario Cuomo, have become beacons of hope for many during the coronavirus pandemic.
The two brothers — Chris, the nightly anchor on CNN and Andrew, the current governor of New York — have sparked joy with their hilarious banter on air, and provided much-needed relief during these uncertain times.
Nothing puts a smile on my face during quarantine like watching these two riff back and forth, so here are some of their best banter moments (so far), which will surely put a smile on yours:
1. When Chris said Andrew had "hands like bananas" and couldn't play basketball, and his big bro responded with this:
2. When Andrew joked that the "worst decision" he had made was coming on Chris's show:
3. And the CNN anchor took this funny jab right back at the governor:
4. When Chris told Andrew to call their mom and it sparked a debate over who is their mother's favorite, because that's what siblings do:
CHRIS CUOMO: There's always time to call mom. She wants to hear from you. Just so you know. ANDREW CUOMO: I called mom just before I came on this show. By the way, she said I was her favorite. Good news is she said you are her second favorite. Second favorite son, Christopher.
5. When Chris was back at it again, teasing Andrew about not knowing how to make their mother's special tomato sauce:

Thanks for all the laughs, boys.
