Footage of the reality-TV-worthy moment, in which Cuomo ventures upstairs, mentions he worked out recently, and greets his family, aired on his show Monday night.
“Here it is. The official reentry from the basement. Cleared by the CDC,” he said in a video posted on Instagram. The video also aired on his show, whose social-media team called it “the very moment @ChrisCuomo emerged from his basement, where he’s been riding out coronavirus for the last several weeks.”
Cuomo told his CNN colleague Dr. Sanjay Gupta that there are two reasons his wife and kids gave him a very quiet welcome. Neither was the rather obvious fact that he has already been out of the basement, by his own admission. Cuomo told a story of leaving home just a week ago on his SiriusXM radio show. In the segment, which included Cuomo complaining about his job at CNN, he said he was confronted by a “jackass, loser, fat-tire biker” while outside on Easter.
“I said to him, ‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel,’” the man, identified only as David, told the Post. Cuomo revealed his positive test for COVID-19 on March 31 and has continued to shoot his show from his Southampton basement.

Fully Recovered Chris Cuomo Gradually Realizing Family Never Going To Let Him Out Of BasementLONG ISLAND, NY—Saying recent improvements to his health had given him the energy to finally consider the strangeness of his situation, fully recovered CNN anchor Chris Cuomo gradually came to realize Monday that his family never intended to let him out the basement where he convalesced. “Cristina, are you out there, hon’? I think the lock down here might have gotten stuck?” said the visibly anxious Prime Time host, furiously banging on the deadbolted basement door leading to the main house and stressing that he was sure he could hear his wife and children milling around outside, but seemed to be intentionally ignoring his increasingly desperate calls for help. “There’s no toilet down here, sweetheart, and I’m running out of food. And you took my phone the other day. Also, I tried to climb out the window, but that seems to be sealed, too. Huh. Come to think of it, why do I hear a man’s voice out there? Is that Andrew? Honey, what the hell is Andrew doing over here? Open up, goddamnit!” At press time, the increasingly frantic broadcaster had begun searching for a way out through an air shaft after hearing the distinct sound of bricks being laid down outside the basement’s exit.
