Thousands of angry comedians protested outside the White House on Monday afternoon, demanding the immediate reinstatement of the ousted communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
Chanting “Bring back Mooch,” the irate funnymen and funny women argued that the abrupt removal of Scaramucci was akin to taking the food out of their families’ mouths.
Industry estimates had projected that Scaramucci’s presence on the White House staff would generate between four and five billion dollars for the comedy industry this year alone, a windfall that has now been erased.
Most comics I know are in a state of shock.  Years from now, comedians will be asking each other, ‘Where were you when you found out that Scaramucci was canned?’ ”
