Sex and the City’s Mario Cantone made his debut as President Trump’s new communications director Anthony “the Mooch” Scaramucci on Comedy Central’s satirical late-night show The President Show Thursday, and the timing was both perfect and a problem.
It was a problem because The President Show tapes around 5 p.m. the same day it airs, which was approximately the same time the Scaramucci interview came out.
came out Thursday afternoon and Scaramucci owned the news cycle for a few hours, making Cantone’s impression extra timely.
Fortunately, Cantone, star Anthony Atamanuik and the writing staff are pros, and they nailed the bit.
