AceShowbiz - There's a new Anthony Scaramucci in town. "Saturday Night Live" alum Bill Hader made a surprise appearance as the former White House communications director in the season premiere of "Weekend Update: Summer Edition".
Insisting that he be called "Mooch", Hader's Scaramucci interrupted the broadcast, anchored by Colin Jost and Michael Che, via FaceTime. "I heard you two nutless, liberal a** wipes mention my name earlier, and when I hear my name three times I appear like a Goombah Beatle Juice."
Asked if he was surprised by his short tenure at the White House, he responded, "Hell no!" He also defended his expletive-laden rant about fellow White House staff members. "I guess people didn't like it when I said - and let me see if I can clean this up for primetime - that Steve Bannon was trying to 'S' his own 'C.' And by the by, I was completely misquoted. I didn't say Bannon tried to 'S' his own 'C.' He did it! He made contact! I saw it! Tongue to tip. Next question!"
Before signing off, Hader's Mooch asked for a position on the program. "You guys hiring over there, because I tell jokes now: Hickory dickory dock, Steve Bannon was sucking," he said.
Anthony Scaramucci has been the butt of the jokes of many comedians since he was hired as White House staffer until after his 10-day run. Mario Cantone recently impersonated the Wall Street financier on Comedy Central's "The President Show".
