WATCH: Melissa McCarthy returns to SNL with an ‘Easter Message from Sean Spicer’
“I Clearly Meant To Say ‘Concentration Clubs’â€
Following “Donald Trump’s†reality television-style elimination of either Jared Kushner or Steve Bannon, Melissa McCarthy returned to “Saturday Night Live†with another portrayal of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
In an “Easter Message from Sean Spicer,†McCarthy’s (spicy) take on Spicer began by kicking children out of the White House. “Don’t push me, I’m sweatin’ my Easter eggs off in this thing,†she cried—from within a bunny suit. (Another nod to Spicer himself, pictured below.)

Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t long before McCarthy turned to Spicer’s comments (and subsequent apologies) this week about Hitler. “Spicey finally made a mistake,†she began.
“As we all know, President Trump recently bombed Syria… while eating the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake America has ever laid eyes on,†‘Spicer’ said. “That’s a fact.â€
McCarthy also touched on Spicer’s difficulty pronouncing Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s name (“I got… Bazooka Felicia Ahmad Rashadâ€) and Spicer’s comments on concentration camps, which he called “Holocaust Centers.â€
“Yeah, I know they’re not really called ‘Holocaust Centers,’ duh. I know that. I’m aware,†‘Spicer’ said. “I clearly meant to say Concentration Clubs.â€
‘Spicer’ subsequently provided a special Passover puppet show (“bring out my baby dolls!â€) and insisted everyone “eat as much candy as you want, ‘cause this is probably our last Easter on earth.â€
Melissa McCarthy will return to SNL on May 13th—as host. In the meantime, the full video of her most recent Sean Spicer can be seen below:Â
