Actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy was spotted touring New York City atop a mock White House podium Friday.
McCarthy, whose impersonation of White House press secretary Sean Spicer for “Saturday Night Live” reportedly angered Spicer’s boss (because McCarthy’s a woman), hinted on Tuesday at a return of the communications chief. She’ll host the show this weekend.
CNN’s Brian Stelter noted the show was filming outside the network’s building.
"SNL" taping right outside CNN NYC… Looks like they're in between takes right now… this was a few minutes ago ?? https://t.co/JmYtDlnYoo

I can’t wait for tomorrow night’s SNL.
She will be merciless.
Sure that isn’t Old Spicy himself? He has been hiding in the bushes most of the week.
Correction. 11:49 ET: This comment is being updated to indicate that Old Spicy was hiding “among” not “in” the bushes.
Military reserve duty.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Well, when Spicey gets sent to the gulag (he may well be there already), at least Melissa won’t have to suffer through as much makeup when she does Huckster-Sandbox.
ETA: This will probably be the death-knell for Spicey’s career. Bet there will be shrubbery.
