“That’s why we don’t have many celebrities.”

In the months that followed, Cuomo was accused of trying to bring down the network with him by exposing an affair between former boss Jeff Zucker and his assistant Allison Gollust and launching an astonishing plot $125 million lawsuit against his former employer.

The network’s half-hearted attempt at becoming a firefighter is the latest twist in his post-CNN career, which has also seen him travel to Ukraine with actor Sean Penn to witness the aftermath of the war with Russia while also witnessing a slew of launching “free” agent merchandise – all while flexing his muscles on social media and puffing on cigars.

Cuomo took to Instagram last week to tell America to “pay more attention” to what’s happening on the front lines in Ukraine.

“What is happening in Ukraine right now is bad and America should pay much more attention,” he said.

‘I went to the Eastern Front… Undermanned and outgunned, we had to hide behind abandoned buildings.’

He likened the conflict to “World War II” and compared Ukrainians to Americans fighting in the War of Independence.

“Ukrainians sound like Americans 240 years ago compared to Brits. They give their lives to protect the freedoms we have here.

“Interest here has waned… the war is only accelerating. I’ll show you more to worry about… soon. Thank you for the interest.’

He then instructed his followers to be “a #freeagent” like him.
