If Sean Spicer leaves, who will ignore Stephen Colbert's questions?
Watch Next

After yet another day of wondering if Press Secretary Sean Spicer is gonna lose his job, Stephen Colbert addressed the issue on Tuesday's Late Show.

Colbert mocked Spicer who prohibited cameras and audio recordings during the briefing, but he admitted it wasn't nearly as low a blow as Steve Bannon's recent fat-shaming remarks against the poor embattled press secretary.

When bringing up the possibility that Spicey could be moving on from his role, Colbert joked: "Sean, I have so many questions. If you go, who will not answer them?"

The TV host took one last shot at President Trump, who might need to have multiple press secretaries so he doesn't get "bored or angry" with them. Just like a baby, he joked, they'd be out of sight and out of mind.
