Newsmax White House correspondent John Gizzi made a "cameo" in "The Daily Show's" Sean Spicer parody Wednesday night — a clip that shows the White House press secretary treating the press like kindergarteners.

A video of Gizzi's eyeglasses swiftly sliding down from his forehead to his eyes at a recent White House press briefing went viral. The moment was parodied in "The Daily Show" video "Sean Spicer: Kindergarten Press Secretary," which substitutes the usual press corps with a room full of 5-year-olds.

In the video, you can hear the children asking questions like "Can I feed the fish today?" "When are we going to learn about Russia?" and "Where are my building blocks?"

"You don't get to just yell out questions," Spicer said — a remark he made at one of his press briefings. "We're going to raise our hand like big boys and girls."

The clip also highlights a recent confrontation involving Spicer and April Ryan, the White House correspondent who was recently signed to CNN as a political analyst.

Spicer told Ryan to stop shaking her head during a press briefing last week, which stirred controversy.

"It's my turn!" a student named April yelled out in the video.

"At some point, April, you're going to have to take no for an answer," Spicer said. "You're shaking your head – take no for an answer."

Twitter users reacted to the detailed comedy sketch.
