While we didn’t get the Rosie O’Donnell Steve Bannon segment we were hoping for, Saturday Night Live took the Sean Spicer gag a step further last night. Melissa McCarthy was back and there’s just no way Spicer’s going to be happy about this one. This time Spicer was back with a motorized podium and was 100% prepared to take the fight to the entire first row of the press room. In addition, Spicer swapped out last week’s super soaker with a leaf blower just in case any reporters asked questions he didn’t like.
When a reported questioned a White House statistic saying 80% of Chicagoans have been murdered, that’s when Spicer whipped out the leaf blower. There was also a QVC-style pitch for Ivanka Trump’s fashion line. “I’m wearing one of her bangles right now!” McCarthy/Spicer proclaimed before doing a Bridesmaids leg lift to reveal a pair of patterned pumps. But the highlight was the vetting bit.
The presidential prop box was rolled back out to explain extreme vetting.
“Ya got your TSA agent right here. First, we got Barbie. Nice American girl, back from her dream vacation. We know she’s OK because she’s blond. So she gets in. Now, who’s up next? Uh oh, it’s Moana. Whoa. Slow your roll, honey. We’re gonna pat her down. Then we’re gonna read her emails and if we don’t like the answers – which we won’t – BOOM! Guantanamo Bay!”
Here’s the entire opening from McCarthy
