Katie Couric asks Gavin Newsom if being 'ridiculously good-looking' is a problem
Fox News ^ | March 5, 2026 | Lindsay Kornick

Longtime journalist Katie Couric asked if Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., had a problem with being "ridiculously good-looking."

During an interview on Couric's "Next Question" podcast released Thursday, the former "Today" co-host remarked on how Newsom has been described as "slick" and whether that was a reference to his hairstyle. Newsom acknowledged that the comments had caused him to play into a "character."

"Do you have a 'Zoolander' problem?" Couric asked, referencing the 2001 Ben Stiller comedy.

After Newsom began laughing at the comment, she followed, "Are you just ridiculously good-looking, as Vogue said? No, seriously. What do you do about that?"

"You don't do anything about it. 'Cuz if you're going to do something about it, then you're b--------ing people. You know what? I am who I am. And it's fine. You don't have to like me. Or maybe you like a slick person. I don't know. Whatever. It's okay," Newsom said.

Both Newsom and Couric were mocked on social media for the exchange.

"He can't run for President on his record, so they are attempting to fabricate charisma," conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller wrote.

I think the Zoolander comparison to Gavin Newsome is spot on.

I just don’t see it, never have. He’s no Tom Sellick or even a Tom Cruise. In fact, I’ve always thought he looks like an awkward Dork.
Of course I’m a guy, but still I know what a handsome man should look like and he’s NOT it.

She’s too old to be acting like a star struck 13 year old!

She's a democrat, they're never too old to act like a spoiled rotten 13 year old.

In a hard hitting follow-up interview, she asked “Boxers or briefs? What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?”

Gross.

Should we not think about what she wanted to do with him or DID with him in the Green room after this disgusting display?

The secret was to rub the bountiful accumulation of fire ash in his hair mixed with a tar ball from La Brea.

You forgot the Barf Alert.

The words “orgasm” and “Gore” do NOT belong in the same sentence, paragraph, or book. Not on the same bookshelf or in the same library.

The only reason that may not happen is that his base won’t accept him because he’s a straight white.

****************

I read the democrat message boards and the old white liberals that post online don’t like Newsom.

Are they numerous enough to derail Gavin in the 2028 primary?

“I’m not sure.”

Ultimately it’s up to people who run the show at the DNC. If they like Gavin, he’s in, as simple as that. If they prefer AOC then they can make that happen.
