TV journalist Steve Kroft got a taste of his own medicine when he was hit with an ambush interview about his leggy mistress Friday night on the Upper West Side.

The married “60 Minutes” newsman — known for jumping in front of interview subjects with a microphone — spat back a sarcastic retort when a New York Post reporter stuck a camera in his face to ask for his side of the story.

“The Post would be the first one I would give it to,” sniffed Kroft.

Kroft, 69, also stonewalled when pressed about text messages where he told Lisan Goines, 41, not to dress like Beyoncé and bragged about his relationship with the president.
