Anthony Scaramucci will appear on 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' August 14
Make way for The Mooch.
Stephen Colbert announced this week that ousted White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci is slated to appear on his "Late Show" on Monday, August 14. "This is just a heads up for our censors to get ready," he tweeted.

Scaramucci retweeted the announcement without adding any further comment, but if his tweets from earlier in the day are any indication, he'll have quite a lot to say when he sits down with Colbert.
Just hours ahead of Colbert's tweet, Scaramucci publicly accused New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza of being "the Linda Tripp of 2017" for allegedly recording their infamous phone call without Scaramucci's permission. "#Lowlife," he tweeted.
Colbert is accustomed to interviewing powerful political figures (if Scaramucci's 10-day tenure allows him to fall under that category), and although he usually maintains a comedic tone, he's not afraid to grill them -- but that should come as no surprise to anyone who saw him host the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2006.
