THE FORMER WHITE House communications director Anthony Scaramucci will appear on RTÉ’s Ray D’Arcy show this weekend.
At 11 days, the financier’s time last year as part of the Trump administration is one of the shortest tenures of any presidential communications chief in history.
The official reason given for Scaramucci’s departure was that the president didn’t think his foul-mouthed comments to The New Yorker were particularly appropriate.
Just days into the job last summer, as you may recall, Scaramucci launched a foul-mouthed tirade against his colleagues while speaking to a journalist from the magazine.
CNN reported, however, that Trump had a major issue with his tough-talking spokesman getting more publicity than he did.
According to a statement from RTÉ this afternoon:
He will be filling Ray in on what he was thinking when he made that phone call where he bad mouthed colleagues to the New Yorker, changing his fate forever.
And he’ll be telling viewers what it was like to be at the centre of one of the most talked about and unexpected events in Trump’s ever-eventful presidency.
He will share his insight on the revolving door of staff in the 45th president’s administration, and tell viewers what Donald Trump is really like to work with.
Another former Trump official, ex-spokesman Sean Spicer, recently appeared on the Late Late Show.
D’Arcy’s show will air at 9.55pm this Saturday

How many moochs do RTE need ?
@Hayden Spain: love this guy, he couldn’t give a shite what other people’s opinions are
@Shane Murphy: Neither could the drunks I used to drop kick out of bars. It’s not a great quality in a political advisor either
I’d actually be interested to watch…… if Ray D’Arcy wasnt presenting.
No offense Ray, you’re a nice lad but your interviews are shocking.
@Ooby Dooby: nice lad? Have you ever met him? He’s a pr1ck with ears.
@Bewarethebeardz: all the ‘male witches’. Bitching again
@Bewarethebeardz: A pr1ck with ears. Classic. Been a while since I heard that one.
Both of them are well matched
@Michael Dowd: him, Spicer etc should be working in a pr shop behind closed doors for their actions while working for the White House not be touring the Worlds chat shows and getting in front of the cameras. This is worse than the Kardashian’s being rolled out.
This will be cringe tv !!
@fergal: watch another channel then
@fergal: everything on Rte is cringe tv
RTE certainly is on a race to the bottom. Two on one show.
That’s about his level
Dustin would do a better job than Darcy
@Tony Mcgrath: Zig n Zag should be hosting the Saturday night show.
@Tony Mcgrath: now there’s a good idea
Can he do the fandango?
@Flynn.: yes he did, there was thunderbolt and lightning ‘‘twas very very frightening
In all fairness – Why? I’d rather listed to a test card transmission.
@Tom Purcell: well what’s stopping you !
A new low for a show that’s about as entertaining and informative as a used T towel. Barrel has to be truely scrapped to death by now
Well worth avoiding… RTE home of the washed up yesterday’s not quite made it men..
Shite show presided over my a vastly overpaid dwarf of very little talent.
I’m not sure who does more talkshow appearances: The Mooch or Mr. Satchwell.
Ask him why “The Death of Stalin” wasnt funny. Supposed to be a comedy, made no sense.
@Will O’Reilly:He should ask him if he actually did do the fandango .. or if those rumours are just fake news…
Yawn.
Hope he asks a leading question
@Desmond Wisley: __ He’ll probably ask him if he likes taking his dog for a walk, that would be a leading question.
Ray would have difficulty keeping up with Bosco … or Kermit
Scraping the barrel there !
Scaramuuch scaramuuch will he do the vandango?
Shades of Brendan interviewing Pussy riot with this one….
one more uninteresting person on Ray D’arcys yawn fest of has been soap stars and unknown sport celebs.
Why are his guests always so shite?
have your say
