In the video Trump can be seen giving a smug smile before saying, “Shoulda got it”. The camera then cut back to Colbert who told the audience “that actually happened”.

He continued: “But unlike the Presidency, the Emmys go to the winner of the popular vote.”

“Of course, what really matters to Donald Trump are the numbers; the big ratings. Of course, at this point we have no way of knowing how big our audience actually is,” he said.

Spicer had been the butt of many late night jokes due to his bolshy press conferences, and ended being immortalised by Melissa McCarthy on SNL in a performance, which earned her an Emmy Award.
