CNN's Chris Cuomo is no stranger to being on-camera, of course, but appearing in the nude has never been on the veteran newsman's resume—until now, it seems.
The anchor was recently spied in the background of his wife's live yoga video in the altogether, and the slip-up has plenty of folks on social media talking.
The alleged glimpse of Cuomo in the raw comes via a video on his wife Cristina Greeven Cuomo's Instagram account. Greeven Cuomo is an avid yogi and something of a wellness guru, with over 123,000 followers on the platform.
When some of them tuned in recently to watch Greeven Cuomo perform a live yoga class in her home studio, they got a little something extra.

In the background of Greeven Cuomo's yoga practice, a man presumed to be Chris Cuomo is seen chilling in the buff in the yard outside her studio, seemingly without a care in the world. Granted, much of him is obscured by a beam in the windows behind him, but there was still plenty on display to catch people's eyes.
The 49-year-old Cuomo, who is brother to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, has been broadcasting for CNN from a home studio in the basement of his and Cristina's home in Southampton, New York due to the stay-at-home orders during the pandemic.
The video was shot somewhere around May 27, according to Page Six, and quickly removed, but not before some eagle-eyed viewers snagged screenshots for posterity.
And the photos of the buff Cuomo in the buff have drawn quite the commentary on Twitter.
no complaint necessary, no apologies needed :)

I think it's time to subscribe to Mrs. Cuomo"s yoga video classes. Naked Chris Cuomo is never a bad thing. Thanks for letting us in on the treat.

As of this writing, neither Chris nor Cristina nor reps for CNN have addressed the slip-up in any way, so we may never know whether it was actually Cuomo.
If it's not him, then we've got a brand new kind of awkward.
But it seems certain that whoever it is, the evidence is sure to remain in the internet's memories for quite some time.
