When you live in NYC, you see all kinds of crazy shit. But this is the first time we’ve seen a White House Press Secretary driving a motorized lectern through the streets.
That’s the sight tons of New Yorkers were treated to on Friday morning as Melissa McCarthy was spotted filming her latest take on Sean Spicer for Saturday Night Live.

The Spy star is hosting this week’s episode, so it makes sense she’d want to pull out all the stops — though not literally, as she constantly had to wait in traffic, getting angrier and angrier as she went! Ha!
Ch-ch-check out some of the reactions as pedestrians whipped out their phones to film the magical moment!

Best thing to come out of this election…Sean Spicer @PressSec. And by that I mean Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer.

@donie Who Will Save The Republic? Clearly, Melissa McCarthy will save the republic. Look, here she comes now.

We assume we’ll need to catch SNL to see where all this goes. Melissa is hosting this weekend with musical guest Haim.
Will YOU be watching??
