As a member of the Media and a television Network Host, you would expect someone with that level of stature to be aware of the names in the Administration. Even I knew who Raj Shah was and where he’s from it’s hard to plead ignorance when you decide to talk about someone.
I’d be willing to bet Cuomo knows how to pronounce Trever Noah and knows he’s from South Africa and he’s not even a politician he’s a comedian/show host.
