'The Daily Show' ridicules Andrew Cuomo's curious election stunt
On Tuesday night, Jordan Klepper of “The Daily Show” satirized Andrew Cuomo’s eccentric campaign strategy, featuring his old white Ford Bronco that closely resembles O.J. Simpson’s infamous vehicle. The segment aired before election results were announced.
“The only man with a chance of perhaps beating Mamdani is Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor, and mayoral candidate most likely to tell the Statue of Liberty she has a hell of an ass.”
Klepper joked about Cuomo’s last attempt to surpass New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, calling it a “bizarre” move after losing the primary and continuing to run as an independent. While Mamdani thrived on public engagement, Klepper mocked Cuomo’s supposedly “serious and policy-driven” approach.

The show then played a clip titled “The Good Luck Truck,” in which Cuomo showcased his 1996 Ford Bronco, calling it “an oldie, but a goodie.” He claimed the car symbolized his belief in victory.
“A white, mid-’90s, Ford Bronco?” Klepper questioned. “Isn’t that O.J.’s car?”
The audience erupted in laughter as the comparison drew parallels to Simpson’s notorious 1994 police chase. Klepper concluded by ridiculing Cuomo’s final campaign message, suggesting that owning “the only vehicle on the planet associated with murder” was an odd choice to persuade voters.
