Melissa McCarthy Spotted Cruising Midtown Block As Sean Spicer
The "Saturday Night Live" host brought her spot-on Sean Spicer impression to West 58th Street.
MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer has returned. Coinciding with the actual White House press secretary's return from the Navy Reserve, this week's "Saturday Night Live" host — and near-perfect Spicer impersonator — was seen filming a segment Midtown Manhattan block in a full-Spicer getup.
McCarthy was spotted driving down West 58th Street, between Eight and Ninth avenues, Friday morning in a motorized recreation of the White House press secretary's podium.
As McCarthy rolled down West 58th Street, she yelled at passing vehicles before coming to a stop in front of "SNL" camera crews.
