Sean Spicer Treats Press Corps Like Kids in 'Daily Show' Parody Video

Sean Spicer Treats Press Corps Like Kids in 'Daily Show' Parody Video

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.
