Sean Spicer pressed (gently) as ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ guest
NEW YORK — It was a different Sean Spicer who paid a visit to ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night.
This was a smiling, chill Spicer, in marked contrast to the six hot-tempered months he spent as White House Press Secretary, conducting volatile news conferences that were given added heat thanks to Melissa McCarthy’s unsparing impersonation of him on “Saturday Night Live.”
It was Spicer’s first television appearance since resigning from the Trump Administration in July from what Kimmel joked was his hit reality show, “I’m the Press Secretary — Get Me Out of Here.”
He took Kimmel’s ribbing in much better spirits than the grilling the White House press corps dished out.
