Trump administration officials who leave the White House never truly go away. If they’re not in jail (or about to be, ahem, Michael Cohen), they’re on reality TV. Former communications chief Anthony Scaramucci is no exception.
Scaramucci aka “The Mooch” was announced as one of the cast members of the second season ofBig Brother:Celebrity Edition,Entertainment WeeklyreportedSunday. He follows fellow former White House stafferOmarosa Manigault Newman, who appeared on the first season.Scaramuccilasted a brief 10 days in the White Housein 2017 and was fired after attacking Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon in a profanity-laden conversation with a reporter. Hopefully, he’ll last longer on Big Brother than he did in the White House.
Seeing White House staffers regularly go on to D-list reality fame is just one more way the American people are being reminded: This presidency is like no other. It’s difficult to even imagine formerObama administration officials finding fame on reality television like this. Picture Valerie Jarrett duking it out with the women of theReal Housewives franchises, orformer David Axelrod as a The Bachelor.
The Mooch joins a desperate cast of has-beens and wannabes including Lindsay Lohan’s “momager,” Dina Lohan, as well asBlossomactor Joey Lawrence and infamous O.J. Simpson houseguestKato Kaelin. Comedian Tom Green and Real Housewives’Kandi Burruss will also be on the show.Originally, it was rumored that former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer would join the illustrious cast ofBig Brother: Celebrity Editionseason two. Caitlyn Jenner was also floated as a possibility.
Contestants will live together in theBig Brotherhouse and compete to win $250,000 by being the last cast member remaining in the house. Personally, I can’t wait for next season, though, when Kellyanne Conway will surely join the cast.
