Melissa McCarthy plays Sean Spicer in hilarious SNL bit that’s being called “one of the best ever”

A merciless impression

“I came out here to punch you in the face, and I don’t talk so good.”

Kristen Stewart was the host Saturday Night Live last night, but actress Melissa McCarthy stole the show with her impersonation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

McCarthy, as Spicer, fields questions from the press and her reactions range from putting a CNN journalist in a cage to spraying a journalist with a water gun to screaming at the press to aggressively calling questions stupid.

There’s also a brief appearance by secretary of education nominee Betsy DeVos, played by Kate McKinnon. The bit is getting rave reviews.
