Scaramucci & Avenatti Debate Show Pitch Sends Twitter Off The Cliff: ‘This is What They Play on TV in Hell’

This is either the greatest television idea ever or the punishment we all rightfully deserve.

There have been talks with the United Talent Agency, CNN, and MSNBC about giving Anthony Scaramucci and Michael Avenatti their own Crossfire-type debate show. Since the two men are known for their forceful personalities and their knack for rocking the political media’s world, this could very well be the inevitable conclusion of the Trump-era’s impact on TV programming.

Whether Michael & The Mooch happens or not, you know people on Twitter are going to have some thoughts about this. As you can see the reactions range from “Yes please” to “Dear God no! Anything but that.”

Here’s a sampling:

Do you have to side with one of them on the show, or can you just root for the meteor? https://t.co/bQmtico5DS

These concepts ALWAYS work better when the odd couple has to work together instead of fighting.

I would never ever watch this show, but I would watch a show where Avenatti and Mooch make elaborate wedding cakes together as a clock ticks down. https://t.co/kpbXI1SIJR
