NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has continued a recent media blitz with an appearance on David Letterman’s “Late Show,” delivering a Top 10 list of ways “New York State is Better than Ever.”
Tuesday night’s list included items such as “we’re up to three Starbucks per capita” and “You know the Finger Lakes? We’re adding a thumb.”
Other items poked fun at some of the state’s unusually named towns, including “Otsego and Oswego finally figured out which town was which” and “Still the only state in America with a Coxsackie” (kuk-SAHK’-ee).
Cuomo’s visit to Letterman’s show coincides with the release of a 500-page memoir and high-profile interviews on CBS News and in major national publications.
The 56-year-old Democrat is running for re-election next month and is widely believed to have national ambitions.
