On Monday’s episode of _The Tonight Show_, Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to the once-embattled spokesman by splicing clips of his daily briefings together to form a rousing rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s disco anthem “I Will Survive.” It was a tongue-in-cheek but somehow fitting song for Spicer, who [resigned from the Trump administration](http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/21/sean-spicer-resignation-cnn-contributor-fox-news/ "undefined") last week after the president appointed Wall Street financier [Anthony Scaramucci](http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/21/anthony-scaramucci-donald-trump-briefing/ "undefined") as his new communications director.
