Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” ripped former New York governor Andrew Cuomo — taking aim at allegations of sexual-harassment against the pol.

During an appearance on Update co-anchor Michael Che, Cuomo, who officially declared his intention to run for mayor over the weekend in a lengthy video, faced a cutting remark.

“Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to run for mayor of New York City,” Che said.

“Cuomo plans to use his old campaign slogan of ‘honka, honka,’” he added while miming grabbing a woman’s breasts.

The quip made reference to the various women who have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against Cuomo, leading to his resignation from state government in New York in 2021, claims that Cuomo has refuted.

One of the ex-gov’s accusers said she is disgusted by his reentry into the public square, in an exclusive interview with The Post.

An individual who chose to remain anonymous shared with The Post, “It is truly appalling that someone who has been accused of mistreating not just women but all New Yorkers would emerge from hiding and believe they are the best candidate to assist New York during times of crisis.”

Che and co-anchor Colin Jost also took aim at the blow-up Oval Office meeting with President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky and Elon Musk.

“Now you actually can gamble on World War III . . . on Fan Duel,” co-anchor Colin Jost joked, referencing Trump’s claim that Zelensky was “gambling with World War III.”

Jost later set his sights on Elon Musk, referencing the mass email DOGE sent out, requiring executive branch employees to report to the newly crafted agency five things they did last week.

“[That’s] easier for Elon to do, because all five of his things were ‘got a lady pregnant,’” Jost said to laughs from the Studio 8H crowd.
