“Behind closed doors, are people mad at him? Is he in trouble?" Colbert wanted to know about the younger Cuomo in wake of his brother Gov. Andrew Cuomo's resignation, according to The Daily Beast. “Some people are mad at him,” Stelter said, before confirming Chris Cuomo helped the governor craft his messaging and advising him to resign as recently as the past few days. “I also have a source who says that Chris was on the phone with his brother this week,” Stelter added. “Is your source Chris Cuomo?” Colbert asked. “He is not,” Stelter replied. “You’ve got to have boundaries. You’ve got to draw a line," said Stelter. “Why? He doesn’t!” Colbert shot back. “I think he does actually,” Stelter said as the live audience groaned in response.
