On 22 December, 2016, Spicer was named the White House press secretary for the newly-elected US President, Donald Trump. On 24 December of that year, he was also named the communications director for the Trump administration after the sudden and unexpected resignation of Jason Miller.

Six months later, Spicer resigned following a tumultuous time at the White House.

Friday night’s Late Late Show will see Ryan Tubridy quiz Spicer on what it was like to be at the centre of a global media storm after he first faced the press in the White House.

The Late Late Show airs on Friday, 12 January at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
