CNN s Chris Cuomo shared a moment of levity with his older brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo , during their latest on-air interview about the coronavirus pandemic Wednesday.

The Cuomo Prime Time host seized on the swab test that his sibling took (and tested negative for) during his briefing Sunday to bring out some comedy props namely, a series of swabs that increased in size as the chat went on.

This was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double-barrel shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face, the younger brother said.

This is not love, responded the governor, though he couldnt help but laugh and take the ribbing (the latest example of the brothers on-air banter ) in his stride.

Check out the exchange here:

Is it true this was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double barreled shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face?
