Christopher Charles "Chris" Cuomo (born August 9, 1970) is an American television journalist. He currently works at CNN, and has previously been the ABC News chief law and justice correspondent and the co-anchor for ABC's 20/20.
Cuomo was born in the New York City borough of Queens. He is the son of Matilda (Raffa) and Mario Cuomo, the former New York Governor, and the brother of Andrew Cuomo, the current Governor of New York.
Cuomo was educated at The Albany Academy, a private university preparatory day school in Albany in New York State, followed by Yale University, where he obtained an undergraduate degree, and Fordham University where he obtained his Juris Doctor (J.D.). He is a licensed attorney.
Cuomo's early career in journalism included appearances related to social and political issues on CNBC, MSNBC, and CNN. Cuomo was a correspondent for the Fox News Channel and Fox Broadcast Network's Fox Files, where he covered a wide range of stories focusing on controversial social issues. He also served as a political policy analyst for Fox News Channel.
At ABC and as co-anchor of 20/20, Cuomo's most recent long-form coverage includes a look at heroin addiction. His year-long coverage revealed the heroin addiction affecting suburban families. Other work has included coverage of the Haiti earthquake, child custody, bullying, and homeless teens. Policy change has come after Cuomo's undercover look at for-profit school recruiters, leading to an industry clean-up; and Cuomo's tip from a BMW owner led to a recall of over 150,000 affected models.
