Melissa McCarthy is just the best. Really, just an amazingly funny, top-notch human being.
We"ve seen it in interviews, we"ve seen it in her movies, and most recently we"ve been seeing it in her appearances on Saturday Night Live.
For the past few months now, Melissa has been making guest appearances on Satuday Night Live to do her incredible impersonation of Sean Spicer, White House press secretary.
But last night, she hosted the show. And that means that her Spicer skit was out of this world.
At the beginning of the skit, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is filling in for Spicer while he — wait for it — hides in the bushes outside.
It"s already beautiful.
He"s asked questions about the Comey firing and the Russia investigation, which, as you can imagine, he doesn"t handle with much patience.
"Let me just put this whole Russian thing to bed, once and for all," he finally yells. "Trump is innocent. How do we know? Because he told us so. Period."
It"s easy to forget that this is satire, isn"t it?
Finally, reporters ask Spicer about rumors that Trump plans on firing him and hiring Sarah in his place. And poor Spicey … he doesn"t handle it well.
And that"s how we came to have footage of Melissa McCarthy dressed as Sean Spicer, roaming the streets of New York City on the White House podium, looking for Trump.
When the president is finally found at a golf course in New Jersey, the conversation gets heated fast.
Spicer says that he doesn"t think he can do the job anymore, and Trump tries to convince him to stay, finally asking him to kiss him.
"I can"t," Spicer objects, "I have a wife, I took vows."
But Trump — good ol" Trump — tells him "I"m famous, it"s OK."
And so Melissa as Spicer and Alec Baldwin as Trump make out. Hard.
