Tim reads and riffs on Chris Cuomo's dramatic on-air account of his coronavirus symptoms and a mysterious pulmonologist's advice, mocking the scripted, self-serious tone and joking Cuomo is 'functionally retarded.'
- Tim reads Cuomo's diary entry claiming low antibodies and susceptibility to bronchitis, attributing it to genetics or culture.
- Cuomo describes being soaked in sweat Friday night, unable to sleep, scared and considering canceling his show.
- Tim interrupts to ask if Cuomo's network of concerned people might partly exist because his brother is governor and he has a TV show.
- A pulmonary expert calls Cuomo with instructions to get up and stretch his torso.
- Tim jokes about someone pranking Cuomo by pretending to be a doctor giving absurd medical advice.
- The fake doctor tells Cuomo to do the funky chicken dance outside because it opens lung passageways.
- The doctor instructs Cuomo to do the running man because it increases circulation and prevents viral binding to blood cells.
- Tim, as the pulmonologist, asks Cuomo if he can do blackface and explains the virus is racist so blackface will scare it away.
- The doctor tells Cuomo to perform a crude act, which Cuomo resists before being pressured to do it anyway.
