Melissa McCarthy’s Killer Sean Spicer Impression

“Saturday Night Live” has moved on from just President Trump and Kellyanne Conway impressions and has started to take aim at Trump’s Press Secretary Sean Spicer as well. Veteran funnywoman Melissa McCarthy donned heavy makeup and a suit for the impression, and it’s one you have to see. She nailed Spicer’s angry demeanor and his contentious relationship with the press just a few weeks into the job.

Spicer, of course, has responded to McCarthy’s impression, but with significantly better humor than Trump. He said he thought it was a little over-the-top and she could “dial it back” but that it was also really “funny.”
