Please, Please Come Back Melissa McCarthy. The White House Press Corps Needs You
SNL heard the pleas of millions of Americans, sending back Melissa McCarthy in her role of White House press secretary Sean Spicer or 'Spicey' as she affectionately calls him. Take a listen.
McCarthy's in-drag Spicer chastised the news media for failing to report on terrorist attacks like “the Horror at Six Flags,” “the Slaughter at Fraggle Rock,” and “the Night they Drove Old Dixie Down”; and then plugged some of Ivanka Trump’s merchandise including a bracelet and leopard pumps (“These babies are real head-turners”).
The pumps were great for two reasons: McCarthy was wearing them and word is that Trump goes crazy when women impersonate his male staff. Second, just yesterday afternoon -- as North Korea had successfully launched yet another missile test -- America's president was on Twitter complaining about the media hating his daughter Ivanka. His list of priorities continues to scare the hell out of millions of people. In the case of Ivanka's problems, Trump is like a dog with a bone.
Word is that President is not happy with SNL making a parody of his administration -- even though the show has parodied presidents for years. For a ratings-driven president, it should matter to him that cable news ratings for Sean Spicers Monday-Friday White House briefing are solidly better than any briefing in history. People are turning off the soaps and tuning in. Read on in AOC Women's News
