Even though the SNL cast has lots of white guys who could take on lampooning White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, the satirical show reached out to an inspired choice to lampoon the beleaguered spokesman: Melissa McCarthy.
In a 'take no prisoners' guest appearance, McCarthy was almost unrecognizable as she took to the podium. Down to the ill-fitted suit, McCarthy gave a commanding, provocative performance.
Great satire happens when the subject's characteristics are elevated to a new level, and McCarthy landed in that hilarious sweet spot.
"I'm here to swallow gum, and I'm here to take names."
