It was just last week that the former hedge fund executive nicknamed “[The Mooch”](http://time.com/4881241/anthony-scaramuci-white-house-communications-director/?xid=homepage) accepted a role within President Donald Trump’s administration. But on Monday, White House Press Secretary [Sarah Huckabee Sanders](http://time.com/4868903/sarah-huckabee-sanders-spicer-press-secretary/) said in a statement that Scaramucci would be leaving his role in order to “give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.” Scaramucci’s tenure may have been short lived, but it was long enough for the internet to have a bit of movie-making fun, including but not limited to Kate Hudson’s and Matthew McConaughey’s 2003 rom-com, _How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days_—a film about a woman’s effort to prove that common dating faux pas can deter any man in a quick 10 days. > [](https://twitter.com/kristin%5Flai/status/892099122504712192) > [](https://twitter.com/jessicagolds/status/892094153051582465) > [](https://twitter.com/TimBella/status/892097644784484352) Even Hudson couldn’t resist weighing in.
