And just when I thought I couldn't love Michael Avenatti more...this:




I turned down Sean Spicer for his new show despite the fact that it would have been YUGE with the biggest ratings since the Apprentice and the largest live audience since the 2017 Inauguration (which was the largest ever on record)!!!!!!!!!

Roodi for a televised sit-down, and was just about PLEADING for Hannity to invite him on his show (and maybe Ingraham, can’t remember)...but yeah, no, nobody extended an invite, who can guess why?!??!

Spicer’s trying to become “Mr. Everybody” and Avenatti ain’t havin it...GOOD

A pitch sheet for the show’s pilot, obtained by The New York Times, describes Mr. Spicer hosting “some of the most interesting and thoughtful public figures for a drink and some lite conversation at a local pub or cafe.”

“The relaxed atmosphere is an ideal setting for Sean to get to know his guests as they discuss everything from the media to marriage,” the pitch continues. “They might even tangle over the merits of making your bed or the value of a great point guard.”

No network is attached to the project, but the pilot episode, to be filmed in July, is backed by heavy hitters in the realm of unscripted television. Debmar-Mercury, the syndicator of daytime series including “The Wendy Williams Show” and “Family Feud,” is co-producing with Pilgrim Media Group, which has developed basic-cable staples like “American Chopper.”

Reached on Monday, Mr. Spicer confirmed that a show was in the works. “In this current environment, I think it’s important to have a platform where we can have civil, respectful, and informative discussions on the issues of the day,” he told The Times.

I hope it's an epic flop!

will this be at? Hopefully, they have a hard time finding ANYWHERE who welcomes this sneaky tRump asskisser. Just as I would not want to sit in a restaurant facing sour puss Sarah Sanders, I would not want to be in the same room as Spicer. What does he have to offer? "How to make a decent living by lying"??

I believe God needs this test to try and give redemption to the right wing. Liberals don’t have to take the test. If you are a liberal, God waves you right into heaven. 😇😇😇

Avenatti is quickly becoming America’s lawyer. If you don’t think so then ask yourself when Trump, any Republican, Sarah H S, or Sean Hannity have mentioned his name even once. They know full well any confrontation with be a massive failure.

I admire him for his fight for Stormy but I love him for his fight for these immigrant families. He is exactly what this country needs in leadership.

Certainly puts to rest then half-witted and unsupported "attention-seeker" nom de plume he's been saddled with by "very, very good and righteous progressives" (we know they are progressives because they allege they are over and over again).

and brilliantly stated.

The show if it ever gets off the ground is going to fail. Spicer has no personality.
