00:00The press secretary is hiding in some shrubbery.

00:04Did I miss anything?

00:06After President Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey Tuesday,

00:10White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer gave a brief interview to Fox Business

00:14from the White House grounds, and then he vanished.

00:17Poof!

00:17Suddenly, and perhaps magically, the press secretary was gone.

00:21Or was he?

00:22The Washington Post reported that Spicer disappeared into the shadows,

00:26huddling with his staff near a clump of bushes,

00:28and then behind a tall hedge.

00:30On Wednesday night, late-night TV got its turn on Comey's firing,

00:34Spicer in the bushes, and then some.

00:36On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy Kimmel explained what he thought may have been happening

00:40as Spicer headed off the grounds.

00:42Sometimes you gotta stop and smell the rose garden, said Kimmel.

00:45He went on to predict what could come next in more vanishing tales of the press secretary.

00:50Sean Spicer's about two weeks away from throwing down a smoke bomb

00:53and disappearing like Batman.

00:55I just pictured that. Thanks, Jimmy.

00:56Ba-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na Spiceman.

00:59After calling Spicer the original boss baby,

01:01The Late Show host Stephen Colbert recapped the report

01:04and then hid in his own set of bushes.

01:09During her, our weekly Constitutional Crisis segment,

01:12Full Frontal's Samantha Bee explained Spicer's head's move

01:14really happened because he'd rather get Lyme disease

01:17than talk to the press.

01:19I don't want to talk to you.

01:21I'm just going to pick these bugs out of me over here.

01:23Over on The Late Late Show, host James Corden, meanwhile,

01:26joked that the Russians were surprised to hear the Spicer news

01:29as they thought Trump was the only plant in the White House.

01:32Spicer hiding in the bushes wasn't the only thing

01:34late-night hosts hacked at Wednesday night.

01:36After skewering Trump over the firing itself,

01:39most shows also collectively recapped Anderson Cooper's eye roll

01:42while talking to Kellyanne Conway on CNN.

01:45Late-night Seth Meyers applauded the viral eye roll,

01:47calling it epic.

01:48The only silver lining to that interview

01:51is that we got one of the most epic eye rolls

01:53in cable news history.

01:55James Corden couldn't contain his laughter

01:57over Cooper's reaction, pointing out,

01:59never has one eye roll said so much for so many.

02:02Even 14-year-old mean girls were like,

02:05that was so impressive.

02:07Let's bring it back to Jimmy Kimmel,

02:09where he at first hoped Conway was like Spicer

02:11and had run away.

02:12But as it turned out, Conway, according to Kimmel,

02:15is back and better than ever.

02:26are baffling.
