Mooch has spilled the beans on the dinner list. Not just Hannity and Shine.

Scaramucci was livid about the information being passed on to a reporter. For one thing, he said the guest list was incomplete. The tweets didnt mention the presence of Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, co-hosts of Fox & Friends, as well as White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and Vice President Mike Pence, who, he said, left before the sit-down dinner. For another, he knew that the full guest list also included Kimberly Guilfoyle, co-host of The Five on Fox News. Early the next morning, Olivia Nuzzi of New York Magazine confirmed that Guilfoyle was there.
Scaramucci realized that the inclusion of Guilfoyle would raise suspicion. He said he was aware that some associates and members of the media were gossiping about his friendship with the Fox host and feared this particular connection would only make matters worse. He said he took it as an attack.

But on Monday morning, Scaramucci knew he was cooked. Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, the new chief of staff, who insisted that all White House staff report to him, asked for his resignation. It was a very polite conversation, Scaramucci says.
Scaramucci then went to see Trump, who was unavailable. He ended up speaking with the president, his daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, separately later in the day by telephone. All were gracious, he said. The president told me he knows I have his back, but he has to try to tighten the ship.

Wonder if these dinners are the norm and this one just happened to leak out or if he is in full panic mode and felt a need to have every show host there to play the same tune 24/7.
