[_Saturday Night Live_](http://time.com/4778402/melissa-mccarthy-saturday-night-live-sean-spicer/) veteran Bill Hader was on hand Thursday night to beam into the first of four episodes of _Weekend Update: Summer Edition_. As “The Mooch” explains from the comfort of his luxury apartment, whenever he hears his name three times, he appears, just like Beetlejuice. Hader’s “Scaramucci” called in to dispute a key quote from his notorious [late-July interview](http://time.com/4877548/anthony-scaramucci-interview-reince-priebus/) with the _New Yorker_. Furrowing his brows and rolling his shoulders, he tells host Michel Che that he has no regrets about the sacrifices he made to be “king of idiot mountain for 11 days.” But now that _SNL_‘s gone primetime, there was a catch: throughout the clip, he had to keep his language clean — a challenge he was able to skate around until the very end, when the show had to bleep him out. Still, on the whole it was a very cathartic FaceTime session.
