It was said that Mr Trump did mind, however, the fact that Mr Spicer was caricaturised on the show by a woman actor, Melissa McCarthy.
The White House had been without a communications director since May, when Mike Dubke resigned from the role in the first personnel shakeup of the Trump administration.
"I will never be able to thank the president enough", Spicer told Hannity in an exclusive interview. But the president believed Scaramucci, a ferocious defender of Trump's on cable television, was best equipped to play the same role in-house, and he offered him a role with far-reaching powers independent of Priebus.
However many millions of dollars Mr Spicer is about to make off the back of his six-month spell as Mr Trump's official mouthpiece, it may not be enough.
He "is an example of somebody who's done an wonderful job and he's being recognized more and more, I noticed", Trump said, suggesting to some that the president had no idea who Douglass was.
He says he felt it would be best for Scaramucci to be able to build his own operation "and chart a new way forward".
Scaramucci, who said Spicer had been gracious in showing him around on Friday, quickly took center stage, parrying questions from reporters and praising Trump in a 37-minute charm offensive. Spicer denounced what he considered Scaramucci's lack of qualifications, according to people familiar with the situation.
Trump said in a statement that he is "grateful for Sean's work on behalf of my administration and the American people".

He'd always been considered for a White House gig, but nothing materialized during Trump's first six months in office.
Spicer's turbulent tenure as the president's top spokesman was marked by a combative style with the news media that spawned a caricature of him on "Saturday Night Live". The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the personnel matter publicly. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Mr Spicer's deputy, will become press secretary.
Donald Trump's communication team just got quite the shakeup after the hiring of Anthony Scaramucci as the new White House communications director. Sanders has largely taken over the briefings, turning them into off-camera events. The last on-camera White House briefing was held on June 29. "I was quoting another candidate", Scaramucci said.
He had spent several years leading communications at the Republican National Committee before helping Trump's campaign in the general election.
"Whatever you're trying to suggest by bringing this story up, I actually do not care", Scaramucci told Tapper.
Scaramucci described his relationship with Priebus as brotherly - where they "rough each other up".

Spicer's statement about "too many cooks in the kitchen" appeared to confirm earlier reports that his decision to quit was prompted by Trump's decision to hire NY financier Anthony Scaramucci as his new communications director.
