Katie Couric asks Gavin Newsom if being 'ridiculously good-looking' is a problem

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.
