Spicer resigned Friday after President Trump hired Anthony Scaramucci as his new communications director, The New York Times reported.

Trump reportedly asked that Spicer stay on, but Spicer declined to do so and told the president that hiring Scaramucci was a major mistake.

In recent months, on-camera press briefings had become less common, and deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had largely filled in for Spicer at daily press briefings.

Spicer’s daily on-camera briefings drew huge audiences, becoming must-see television. He was famously parodied by Melissa McCarthy on "Saturday Night Live."
