On Tuesday night’s episode of The Daily Show, host Jordan Klepper ridiculed Andrew Cuomo’s peculiar campaign move as he tried to outpace New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
“The only man with a chance of perhaps beating Mamdani is Andrew Cuomo, former New York governor, and mayoral candidate most likely to tell the Statue of Liberty she has a hell of an ass,”
Klepper joked, adding that Cuomo, having lost the primary, was now running as an independent.
Klepper continued by describing Mamdani as actively social and visible, contrasting it with Cuomo’s supposedly “serious and policy-driven” final push. The segment then played Cuomo’s campaign clip titled “The Good Luck Truck.”
“My 1996 Ford Bronco is an oldie but a goodie,”
Cuomo said, claiming it symbolized his belief in winning the election. Klepper then noted the vehicle’s uncanny resemblance to O.J. Simpson’s notorious getaway car.
“A white, mid-’90s, Ford Bronco? Isn’t that O.J.’s car?”
The audience erupted in laughter as Klepper mocked Cuomo’s unusual choice of campaign symbol, highlighting the absurdity of presenting a car associated with one of America’s most infamous chases as a political good-luck charm.
Jordan Klepper humorously dismantled Andrew Cuomo’s final campaign stunt, using a Ford Bronco eerily like O.J. Simpson’s, portraying it as a bizarre and ill-fated symbol.
