WATCH: Melissa McCarthy’s ‘Sean Spicer’ Drives Down Manhattan Street – on the Press Secretary’s Podium
What Could Be Better?
Melissa McCarthy has had many roles but perhaps her most beloved is portraying White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer in several “Saturday Night Live” skits. Beloved by many – except President Donald Trump, who reportedly was furious the first time the Emmy award-winning actress played his top spokesperson, mostly because she’s a woman.
McCarthy is hosting this week’s SNL, and lest anyone fears she might not reprise her press secretary role, NBC released a glorious promo video of McCarthy transforming into Spicer, while singing – no doubt, much to Trump’s chagrin – West Side Story’s “I Feel Pretty.”

Several reporters and news outlets Friday morning captured SNL taping McCarthy-as-Spicer driving down a Manhattan street on a motorized Press Secretary podium.

Sure seems like Saturday night’s SNL will be one for the record books.
