Melissa McCarthy Spins The Facts As Sean Spicer On "Saturday Night Live"





Melissa McCarthy paid a surprise visit to studio 8H last night to take on the role of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer for “Saturday Night Live.” To put it plainly, she nailed it.

McCarthy was spot-on throughout the whole sketch, never missing a cue and never breaking character. How she managed to remain serious, we have no idea. Surely, though, President Donald Trump and/or Spicer will have something to say about it. 
Watch the whole sketch above. Trust us, it’s worth it.

But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
