‘Well, I offered myself up to Andrew Cuomo leading — in the pandemic, I was very turned on by his morning news conferences, as many of us were.
‘And he reached out to me. And we had a couple of conversations on the phone,’ Handler told Sway host Kara Swisher.
She added he called her and the governor was, ‘really feeling himself,’ in a metaphorical sense, though she joked she couldn’t tell, ‘if he was pulling a Jeffrey Toobin. I doubt it, though.’

Handler added she was, ‘filming my special’ on the East Coast and she though, ‘we would have a drink or something along those lines. And he blew me off.’
She added that later on she, ‘found out all the stuff we found out about him,’ referring to the eleven women who have come forth with sexual assault and sexual harassment allegations.
‘I thought, well, I guess, this is a guy that doesn’t like it offered up. So my crush with him is, yes, O-V-E-R,’ Handler clarified.
