Anthony Scaramucci actually lasted longer in the White House than the Celebrity Big Brother house
His 11-day stint as White House communications director is no longer the shortest entry on Anthony Scaramucci's résumé.
Scaramucci managed to do what many thought was impossible: leave the Celebrity Big Brother house faster than he did the White House. He only lasted six days on the show, TMZ reports, exiting on Monday despite appearing on Tuesday night's episode. He re-emerged in Switzerland on Wednesday, and said because he signed a confidentiality agreement, he couldn't reveal the circumstances behind his leaving. "You'll have to tune in on Friday to understand what happened," he said. Scaramucci did say that he had fun on the show, and it reminded him of his blue collar roots.
So, how will Scaramucci beat this 6-day record at his next job? Will he just walk in, do a lap around the office, then walk back out? Resign at the same time he accepts the offer? If anyone can do it, it's the Mooch.
