Now hes stepping out on the Live Performance stage, redefining what it means to be a social media sensation. And the man behind what may be the most infamous fan blunder of all time, potentially costing the chicago cubs a world series appearance, now receiving one of baseballs highest honors. But first the nightline 5. Number 1 in just 60 seconds. Good evening and thank you for joining us. Im rebecca jarvis. After 11 days of bluster, dramatic accusations, and colorful language, Anthony Scaramucci is out of the job of White House Communications director. The announcement coming just days after he backed out of his appearance at this years politicon. And with tomi lahren and Chelsea Handler squaring off in the main event he missed a heck of a show. Heres abcs nick watt. Reporter politicon, the unconventional convention. Costumes. Just the next president trying to get a hot dog. Reporter booths. Comiccon but for politics. Reporter like a comic Book Convention but dragging political juchkies of every hue out of their basements. You wanted to star with iran and russia. Thats insane reporter the daily drama in d. C. Means there are more of those junkies than ever. Interest is high. Passions are hot. Ill take the question. Reporter Anthony Scaramucci, the president s brand new Communications Director here in spirit, was supposed to be here in person. Pulled out friday morning. Today the mooch, as hes known, resigned after taking office just 11 days ago, july 21st. I love the president. I obviously love the country. Reporter beleaguered Spokesman Sean Spicer then resigned in protest and scaramucci, a swaggering multimillionaire wall street veteran, made the sunday show rounds. Were as strong as our weakest leak. Whats going on right now is a high level of unprofessionalism. Reporter next day, monday july 24th, his wife gives birth to their second son. Scaramucci is not present. Then wednesday july 26th scaramucci calls a new yorker reporter who just tweeted the guest list of an intimate white house dinner. Next morning the story drops. Scaramucci claims hes not in this for media attention. Im not steve bannon. Im not trying to blank my own blank. Scaramucci suggests chief of staff Reince Priebus might be a leaker. Reince is a blank paranoid schizophrenic paranoiac. President trump announces john kelly as his new chief of staff. Reince priebus has resigned. This morning trump unveils kelly general kelly will go down in terms of the position of chief of staff, one of the great ever. Reporter and this afternoon scaramucci resigns. The president certainly felt that anthonys comments were inappropriate for a person in that position. And he didnt want to burden general kelly also with that line of succession. Reporter this evening the president tweeted a great day at the white house. Much of our discourse these days is online, but here at politicon its face to face. More than 10,000 people showed up here over the weekend, an attendance record three times the gate of the inaugural politicon back in 2015. Its getting bigger, right . It is getting bigger and its getting more conservative this year. Reporter this is pasadena, california, far from the beltway and deep in a state often thought politically monday ochrome. Its not. L. A. , theres a lot of mexicans. Its just i feel like theyre bringing in drugs and bad things. Okay. Reporter the public is engaged. A recent pew survey found nearly 6 in 10 women say theyre paying more attention to politics since President Donald Trump won the election. It is energizing to be in a space where so many people care so passionately about politics that they would wait in a line for a long time to get into a panel about politics. They dont have to have a conversation but at least they can start listening to each other. Reporter wear a costume, get a half price ticket. Were looking for a new fbi director. Might you be interested . Im a foreigner. Its fine. We work really well with foreigners. Reporter that is actually roger stone. I relieve in limited government 37 thats my main thing. And i think in some ways thats libertarian. Reporter 24yearold tomi lahren in the right corner versus lefty liberal Chelsea Handler. I understand about limited government. I understand the argument. But what about human decency . With people who cannot afford reporter this conversation hyped as the heavyweight title fight of politicon. A little earlier we were backstage as the Main Attractions met. Weve never met. Reporter tomi lahren doesnt hold back on tv or in her internet offerings. Im getting pretty sick and tired of the failing mainstream media. Your husband was a drug dealer. It protects your right to be a whiny indulgent attentionseeking cry baby. Reporter last week lauding the president s tweeted transgenders in the military ban. The military is not a social experiment. Its a fighting force. Finally we have a commander in chief who understands that and isnt willing to put feelings and Political Correctness over military readiness and the mission. Reporter confronted about that backstage. Unfortunately some of the stuff that you say even though you may not say it from that place there are people that are listening to that and they interpret it in the wrong way. Reporter elsewhere, plenty tomi fans. This guy all the way from michigan. She got me into politics. He could be into Kim Kardashian and lady gaga but hes interested in politics so ill take that as a win for me. Reporter and here she tops the bill. Should she have that platform . No. I dont think a professional racist should have a platform. You genuinely believe everything you say . Absolutely. This isnt just youre not just a media creation . No. Youre not just promoting yourself and taking these positions because they get you attention . Absolutely not. No. For me there are so many out there, Law Enforcement and military in particular, they cant speak out on these issues. So if i can be their voice and i get letters from around the world but thats a huge presumption that you want to be the voice of the military or the police. If i can be a small voice im going to do it every day. I think politics and entertainment have always been mixed together. I can imagine that Julius Caesar was a very good communicator. Reporter thats politicons organizer simon sidi. 30 years a limee live music producer working with the likes of depeche mode and kanye west. No man meant to have all that power dont cheer after every [ bleep ] thing we say, please. Were not at a football game. Do you think the two sides actually listen to each other . No, i dont. Reporter remember young dwight . If there was proof of collusion with russia, would you withdraw your support of President Trump . Theres no if there is. No, no, no. Theres no proof. Lets hear a little more from chelsea and tomi. Do you have a Health Care Plan or no . Well, luckily i am 24, so i am still on my parents. [ laughter ] yeah. You can laugh. Reporter tomi admitting shes still on her Parents Health insurance, a tenet of obamacare which she opposes. One point chelsea. But this. Marco rubio has cropped up. Hes just like you know, hes like a nonman. Hes a what . Like a nonman. Chelsea, how do we go from talking about the feelings of transgenders to you saying marco rubio is a nonman . Maybe he should cross over. Reporter minus one chelsea. And this about trump. How did he lie . And he lies every day. What did he lie to you about . What did he lie to me about . I mean, where do i start . Reporter she didnt know where to start. Another handler fumble. There was a lot of sound and fury. But for me this conversation is a metaphor for the country. We refuse a reporter the unwavering passionate views standing their ground and frankly getting nowhere. We have people like you on the right. We have similar people on the left. Do you think youre actually helping this country or youre just actually tearing it further apart . You know what, thats whats so frustrating to me about the left and what liberals say is they think that conservative voices shouldnt be allowed to speak because they call us divisive. I spoke to somebody earlier today who described you as a professional racist and said you shouldnt have this platform. Thats unfortunate. I think that first of all im a supporter of free speech. Im not a racist. The left does this to us all the time. The right has to be Strong Enough to say im not a racist but i have policy positions and i have agenda items that im going to speak to. And im not going to be afraid to do it. Reporter this is the new normal. Politics right now. This is how i wake up in the morning. Reporter the best entertainment weve got. Im nick watt for nightline, pasadena, california. Next straight outta oz youtube sensation todrick hall blowing the doors off the Music Industry with sheer talent. The selfmade social star caught the eye of beyonce. New charmin ultra soft its softer than ever. New charmin ultra soft is twice as absorbent so you can use less. And its softer than ever. So its harder to resist. Okay, this is getting a little weird. We all go, why not enjoy the go with charmin . Beneful grain free is so healthy. Oh farmraised chicken mmm. Thats some really good chicken. I dont think ive ever tasted chicken like this. What . Here come the accents. Blueberries and pumpkin. Wow. That was my favorite bite so far. Not even kidding. I mean that was. Oh spinach mmm. Thats like three super foods. Pretty, uh, well. Super. Now i got kind of a pumpkin, chicken thing going on. Whoop time to wrestle. avo new beneful grain free. Out with the grain, in with the farmraised chicken. Healthful. Flavorful. Beneful. The Energy Conscious whopeople among usle . Say small actions can add up to something. Humongous. A little thing here. A little thing there. Starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. Who are all these caretakers, advocates too . Turns out, its californians its me and its you. Dont stop now, its easy to add to the routine. Join Energy Upgrade california and do your thing. Hes got more than 100 million hits on youtube, a live tour and a clothing line but no car. Thats because todrick hall says he reinvests almost everything he makes into his career. And if youve seen the elaborate costumes, set designs, and special effects in his videos youll understand where all the money goes. Here again is nick watt in our series social stars. Because i just want to be a reporter straight outta oz. Todrick halls super sumptuous starstudded 71minutelong autobiographical concept album released on youtube. A little selfindulgent millennial . Hello, im rich nice to meet you reporter but heres where todrick hall is very, very different from the rest. Who do you think you are hes not chilling at home counting coin from his youtube hits. Flash mobs do particularly well. Getting him noticed by queen bey herself, who invited him to choreograph her video blow. Snoeft must be good to you reporter he was just in kinky boots. Hes taking straight outta oz on the road around the globe. Back here is where the beds are. Reporter on the road around america, sleeping on this tour bus. With a dozen other people. This is the bathroom. And there are very strict rules. You can read them. Thats the most important one. Thats a pretty solid rule. I didnt mean that. Reporter hes a youtuber who also kills it live. I think you were the first person i met who does the youtube stuff, the social media stuff, and this which is basically quite oldfashioned. Yeah. Touring small towns. Yeah. Its a strange combo that ive not seen before. Well, im a strange combo. Youve never seen me. Have you ever seen somebody that was half black and half green in your life before today . Reporter and hall finances everything, everything, himself. Theres no Company Behind this apart from you. Its toddy inc. Is the company. You could have people backing you. You could have i could have people backing a version of me. I dont think that you can truly be an artist if you arent willing to put every dime in your account on the line. Youre risking everything. Everything. Reporter we joined hall and his friend slash collaborator slash employees for a couple of california legs of the u. S. Tour. Just more oomph because right now its like really sloppy and looks tired. Reporter tonight in Beverly Hills he is knee deep in everything. Need your policies. We reporter from writing all the music to the costumes, the choreography. Everything. London tomorrow. Yeah. One second. Youre going to go chat with somebody . Reporter why is he doing this . Apparently for fans like these. My friend showed me a video of him when he was at like a drivethru. One of his first videos. Mickey ds and please im dubbing pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, im loving it reporter views 10 million plus and the most popular almost 20 million. Ive always been on the feminine side a little bit. So to have someone older take look up to like that and to have him almost be the same as me and having someone to relate to i think thats really special. You get to actually meet people, hear them say like you changed my life or ive come out of the closet and been able to accept who i am and i wish id had that growing up. Look into my fantasy reporter one of todricks tv sidekicks is guest judge on rupauls drag race. Rupaul also appears in straight outta oz. Is you a good witch or just a bad [ bleep ] i bumped into him the other day on an entirely unrelated story. Let me just tell you about todrick hall. Todrick hall is one of the most creative people ive ever met. Im so impressed with this kid. Reporter ru showed up at the Beverly Hills show. So did a couple of Old School Friends of todricks from back home in texas. I mean, i do slightly worry for him that he needs to chill. Hes never going to. Im not worried. Its a problem if he doesnt do anything. Thats when im afraid. If hes not doing what he loves. Thats a good point. Okay. Thats when im afraid. Somewhere over the rainbow reporter heres another reason todrick hall is different. His is not a seamless, stratospheric rise. Ive worked so hard and not eaten and overdrawn so many accounts, gotten my cars repossessed. I mean, everything that you can lose that would make you want to not ever make a Youtube Video again ive experienced. Reporter his first big break was American Idol in 2009. I try and i try and i try he made it to the final 16 but no further. Just in case you didnt know in fwf he h2014 he had his own , todrick. Back then nightline met up with him while he was filming what he thought would be his big break. I want to be really involved in every aspect. The costumes, the hair, the makeup. Reporter but it didnt survive beyond the first eight episodes. He worked with super manager scooter braun, he of bieber and Ariana Grande fame. They split, hall says before straight outta oz. This is the scarecrow, the tin man. This wizard of oz stuff is deep in you. Its very deep. Its my whole life. This is just the way it could be i was waiting for years and years and years for scooter to say okay, you can be an artist now. And i didnt need him to do that. I could just be an artist. And once i did it he said, okay, i see it. So now we are going to be hopefully working together again. Isnt that dope . Reporter his life is featured in a new documentary behind the curtain. I know what its like to live in a town where people dont understand you. Reporter his goal, the fabled egot, emmy, grammy, oscar, tony. From now on everything i go into, much like i learned on American Idol and with the mtv show, people have to take my opinion and my artistic decisions and hold them at the same level of weight that they would hold steven spielbergs. Reporter a kid who in between writing, choreographing, singing, directing, takes time after every show to meet the fans. How are you . Thank you so much. Reporter im nick watt for nightline in Beverly Hills. Todrick is reportedly in talks to bring straight outta oz to broadway.

Steve bartman reaching for a foul ball during game 6 of the championship series. Interfering with a catch that many say altered the course of cubs history. The marlins go on to win it all. Bartman instantly becomes chicagos most infamous fan. Even getting death threats. But today, 14 years later, forgiveness. The cubs adding one more to the team of ring holders, giving bartman a world series ring of his own. The team wrote in a statement, we hope this provides closure on an unfortunate chapter of the story that has perpetuated throughout our quest to win a longawaited world series.
