It doesn’t seem like Good Morning America host Robin Roberts was dying to be the one to conduct the ABC morning show’s interview with outgoing White House public liaison and assistant to the president Omarosa Manigault Newman.

Omarosa, whose Jan. 20 resignation was confirmed by press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Wednesday, talked with Michael Strahan, noting that, “When I can tell my story — and it is a profound story — I know the world will want to hear.”

Later, a skeptical Roberts commented, “She said she has a story to tell? I’m sure she’ll be selling that story.”

Then she invoked Friday’s classic two-word dismissal for persons unlikely to be missed by anyone: “Bye, Felicia.”

Ice Cube, the man who invented it, would be so proud.

After all, even 22 years after the movie came out, it’s still “the phrase to get ANYBODY out of your face that’s saying something stupid,” the rapper/actor acknowledged on Conan.
