Cantone took on the role of former White House communications direction [Anthony Scaramucci](http://time.com/4886663/anthony-scaramucci-sandwich-troll/) for a run in the Comedy Central late night show _The President Show_ — and committed wholly to the scandal-courting politician’s demeanor. “Do I really have to go? Now that our love is so new?” Cantone-as-Mooch simpered to the Trump character (Anthony Atamanuik), reflecting Scaramucci’s own [ten-day-turnaround](http://time.com/4882190/harvard-anthony-scaramucci/) on the job. “I’m sorry but, Kelly says you gotta. For real this time,” the actor playing Trump replied sadly. “At least now I can go see my wife and newborn son,” Cantone joked. “Nah, I’m not gonna do that,” he added, to laughter. “But there is one more thing before I go. It’s an old Italian expression. You know what it is.” Then Cantone and his presidential counterpart made good on the name “Mooch” once and for all with an epic smooch. Watch the comic duo get every last bit of humor out of a wild week in the White House, above.
