Just so we’re clear, on the White House grounds this Tuesday Sean Spicer was not in the bushes, he was among the bushes.
But today, you can find him burning rubber in a motorized podium on the streets of New York City — or at least, Melissa McCarthy dressed up in her separated-at-birth-like impersonation of the press secretary.
McCarthy is hosting Saturday Night Live this week. Naturally, another edition of her infamous impression is expected. But on Friday morning New York City residents heading to work around 58th Street in Manhattan got a surprise preview performance. Look at ol’ Spicey go.
Filming in midtown during the morning commute is the opposite of under wraps, so there’s plenty of footage from the scene for you to enjoy before Saturday’s show. Here are a few of our favorites that we’re going to watch on a loop for the rest of the day.
