‘The Mooch’ buffing up on eve of new Wall Street TV gig

Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci is ready for his close-up.

The hedge fund impresario and founder of SkyBridge Capital is set to premiere an updated “Wall Street Week” TV show this Sunday — and his first guest will be Jeff Gundlach, the controversial and outspoken CEO of Doubleline Capital, The Post has learned.

Scaramucci — who proudly carries a Screen Actors Guild card and brings billionaire hedgies, politicos and movie stars together in an annual conference in Las Vegas — last year bought the rights to the iconic show made famous by the late Louis Rukeyser.

The investor, who will host the show, which will air on Sunday mornings, has been busy getting into camera-ready condition: “I haven’t had a cookie in three weeks,” he told The Post.

While Scaramucci is the first to admit he’s a showman, he’s serious about using the medium to impart investing know-how to the masses — and that is why he turned to Gundlach to serve as his first guest.

“He’s the big dog in fixed income,” said Scaramucci, pointing out that Gundlach bucked conventional wisdom in recent years by betting the Federal Reserve would not raise rates. “He’s been right.”

Scaramucci, who grew up in a blue-collar family in Long Island, NY, said he is on a mission to bring Wall Street to Main Street.

In a nod to the digital age, the show will also be streamed live on wallstreetweek.com.

That’s where Scaramucci can go completely wonky and give primers on such esoterica as the U6 unemployment rate, quantitative easing and the beauty of compound interest — concepts alien to many average Americans.

Other debut show guests include Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist of Charles Schwab, and Jonathan Beinner, chief investment officer of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

“Wall Street Week” will air on Fox affiliates in five cities, including New York.
