Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer will give his first late-night interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” ABC announced on Thursday.
Spicer will appear on the late-night show on Wednesday, Sept. 13, giving his first late-night TV interview since officially exiting the Trump administration at the end of last month.
Spicer announced his resignation from the administration back in July, ending a months-long run of combative daily press briefings and embarrassing communications blunders immortalized by Melissa McCarthy’s Emmy-nominated impersonation for “Saturday Night Live.”
According to Politico, Spicer has signed with Worldwide Speakers Group for a series of paid speeches to follow-up his last official day in the White House on Aug. 31. His first speaking gig will be at an annual conference held by investment bank Rodman & Renshaw on Sept. 11.
Anthony Scaramucci, whose short-lived tenure as White House communications director was marked by clashes with other White House officials, including Spicer, made his own late-night debut on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” last month.
