Mooch vs. Mouthpiece show is pitched

- Chris Sommerfeld­t

SOMETIMES THE Mooch is stranger than fiction.

Trump-boosting ex-White House aide Anthony Scaramucci may soon get his own TV show to butt heads with highprofil­e Trump critic Michael Avenatti, according to network insiders.

Prominent TV agent Jay Sures has recently pitched a show concept to CNN and MSNBC in which the Mooch would square off against Avenatti in a political tête-à-tête, CNN media correspond­ent Brian Stelter confirmed via Twitter.

The New York Times first reported Sures’ outreach. Multiple spokespeop­le for CNN and MSNBC declined to comment.

Both Mike and the Mooch both threw cold water on the prospect of the show happening.

Scaramucci (photo), the onetime White House communicat­ions director, tweeted the name of the show should be “Not Happening.”

Avenatti, the Stormy Daniels lawyer who’s suing Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen and has become a cable TV fixture, tweeted, “I have no interest in television right now.”
