This morning, Melissa McCarthy was spotted cruising down the street on her motorized podium, dressed as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. In the middle of Manhattan traffic, McCarthy glided along and directed the cars, and pedestrians appeared to be pretty excited. McCarthy’s impersonation of Spicer has been a huge success and she will host this week’s episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Hopefully this was a preview of Saturday’s show.
