Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer made a surprise cameo appearance at the 69th Emmys and helped Stephen Colbert mock his old boss President Trump.
The former White House Communications Director was wheeled out on a White House-esq press podium. Spicer mimicked his own, now infamous Trump inauguration claim that it was biggest attendance in history.

Spicer was wheeled out to a shocked room full of celebrities whose jaws dropped when they saw the president’s former mouth piece at the Microsoft Theater in LA.
‘Spicey’ cracked ‘This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys. Period. Both in person, and around the world. Period.’
As the former White House flack was wheeled offstage, Colbert said ‘Thank you Melissa McCarthy!’ a nod to her fantastic impersonation of Spicer on Saturday Night Live.
Colbert also jokingly scolded Emmy voters for not giving Trump an Emmy for ‘The Apprentice,’ posing that maybe if he own an Emmy he wouldn’t have run for President.

‘I thought you guys loved morally compromised antiheroes,’ he said of Trump, then called him ‘Walter Whiter,’ the ‘Breaking Bad’ character who won several Emmys for Bryan Cranston.
He also hilariously noted: ‘Unlike the presidency, Emmys go to the winner of the popular vote.’
Trump was not the only politician who was found in the cross hairs of Colbert’s deadpan delivery.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz was just caught up in a scandal where his Twitter account ‘liked’ a hardcore porn video.
Colbert did not miss the opportunity to bring that news into play for the opener.
When talking about the myriad of steaming services available, the host jested ‘These days everyone loves streaming video, just ask Ted Cruz, but knock first. You don’t wanna just walk in.’
The hits on the Trump reign kept on coming later in the program.
Alec Baldwin won an Emmy for his portrayal of the President during his many appearances as the commander-in-chef this season on SNL.
Baldwin came to the stage accepting the Emmy and started off his speech with ‘At long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy.’
