Jimmy Kimmel doesn't hold back in Sean Spicer's first interview since leaving the White House
On Thursday, Spicer headed over to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to chat it up with the late night host, who didn't pull any punches.
From asking if Spicer had ever seen President Donald Trump naked (he hadn't) to his first day on the job when he had to tell the country that the crowd for Trump's inauguration was the largest in history, Kimmel touched on all the memorable moments of Spicer's time in the White House.
But Spicer kept his cool throughout the interview, being respectful of the president and explained what his role entailed at the White House, despite at times having to back up questionable acts done by the Trump administration.
"Your job is to represent the president's voice and to make sure you're articulating what he believes his vision is on policy, on issues, and other areas that he wants to articulate," Spicer told Kimmel. "Whether or not you agree or not isn't your job, your job is to give him advice - which is what we would do on a variety of issues all the time. He would always listen to that advice, but ultimately he's the president and he would say 'I agree with you' sometimes or 'That's a good point, incorporate it' or sometimes he would say, depending on the issue, 'Look, I know what I believe and this is what the right thing to do is.'"
And Spicer admits he did have an alert set up for whenever Trump tweeted.
Kimmel also brought up Kimmel's replacement, Anthony Scaramucci. Spicer said he was on good terms with "The Mooch," but at the end of the day he felt he couldn't work alongside him.
"It wasn't personal," Spicer said. "I didn't feel as though [Scaramucci] had the qualifications or the background to work in the communications office, and my view was that if I'm going to have to partner with somebody that I don't believe had the skill set to execute the job that it was incumbent upon me to step aside or make my voice known. I did, I told the president if he wanted a clean slate, that he wanted a change, that I respect that."
When Kimmel brought up the New Yorker piece in which Scaramucci when on a profanity-laced tirade which inevitably led to him being fired from his position, Spicer simply said, "I think it proved my point that to do this job is one in which you have the proper background and training."
At the end of the interview Kimmel showed a picture of Spicer at his going away party, noting how happy he looked.
"The president said to me right before I left he said, 'My gosh, you look ten years younger,'" Spicer said.
