Melissa McCarthy made an unannounced appearance on Saturday Night Live to deliver an uncanny impression of Trump administration press secretary Sean Spicer.
In the eight-minute sketch, a nearly unrecognizable McCarthy perfectly captured the frosty, often acrimonious relationship between Spicer and the press, the secretarys brash and confrontational manner, his odd phrasing and the circuitousness of his answers to direct questions.
I know that the press and myself have gotten off to a rocky start, and when I say rocky start, I mean it in the sense of Rocky the movie because I came out here to punch you, Spicer yelled.
Id like to begin today by apologizing on behalf of you to me for how you have treated me these last two weeks, and that apology is not accepted!
Spicer also provided an accurate recap of Trumps Supreme Court judge announcement: When he entered the room, the crowd greeted him with a standing ovation which lasted a full 15 minutes, and you can check the tape on that. Everyone was smiling, everyone was happy, the men all had erections, and every single one of the women were ovulating left and right. And no one was sad, those are the facts forever.

Spicer then fielded questions, barely, about the Muslim ban and Steve Bannon, using props to explain the executive order to the press.
Secretary of Education nominee Betty DeVos, played by Kate McKinnon, was also introduced to field some simple questions. I dont know anything about school, but I do think there should be a school, probably Jesus school, and I think it should have walls and roof and gun for potential grizzly, DeVos told the press.
Spicer ended the press conference by announcing And live from New York, its Saturday Night, even though the sketch arrived mid-show.
