Watch Stephen Colbert and Anthony Scaramucci Go Head-to-Head on Late Show

As one of the Trump administration’s more tolerable individuals, we were sad that Anthony Scaramucci’s run as the press secretary was short-lived. In the 11 days he informally held the title, people—Stephen Colbert especially—were excited that Scaramucci would be fielding reporters’ questions in the White House pressroom. Apparently missing his candor, Colbert invited The Mooch to sit down and have a little discussion about Nazis and Steve Bannon on The Late Show, and it didn’t disappoint.
Colbert’s band welcomed The Mooch with a quick rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a nod to Colbert’s performance of the song in which he replaced “Scaramouche” with “Scaramucci.” The Mooch had a sense of humor from the get-go, suggesting the boos he received were actually supportive shouts of “Mooch.” He then made a less tasteful joke, telling Colbert that he was “like Arya Stark” in that he has a kill list, only his is comprised of Late Show writers. Hilarious!
