The questions surrounding Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration’s alleged meddling in a corruption probe has officially become a late-night punchline.

Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” took on Cuomo’s role in its lead segment Thursday, where host Jon Stewart roasted Cuomo’s marked shift on the independence of the Moreland Commission, which he created last year with the broad charge to investigate public corruption in New York.

Stewart played a clip of an interview with Cuomo at the beginning of the probe, saying the commission had the ability to look at his or anyone else’s operations. He contrasted that with Cuomo’s office’s more-recent comments to The New York Times—that the panel couldn’t have investigated him because of conflict-of-interest concerns.

This scandal does not look good for Cuomo

2. No it is not. The US Attorney has been investigating it for months.

3. Cuomo may be in trouble

If nothing else, this would not help a run for the 2016 nomination

4. My guess was he would not run if Hillary runs.

Besides I don't think he could win the nomination.
