TV'S ODDEST NEW COUPLE!

Cuomo & O’Reilly form tag team in desperate bid to return to big time

TARNISHED anchors Chris Cuomo and Bill O’Reilly are pretending to be best buddies on NewsNation in a desperate bid to buff their battered public images — but the scandal-scarred horndogs secretly hate each other’s guts, sources squeal.

The outspoken Cuomo host, 52, landed his regular gig at the tiny cable net after being axed by CNN in 2021. He has frequently featured the fired FOX News hothead, 73, at his new home on the streaming channel.

Tipsters dish the pompous pundits are happy to have TV soapboxes again and act like friends on camera — but behind the scenes they’re anything but buddies!

“Chris and Bill are playing the game and figure by teaming up together they have a better shot of getting the last laugh on all their haters,” spills an industry mole.

“They’re on totally different planets on so many issues, but that makes for lively debate and compelling TV — or so they hope.”
