Sean Spicer, who started his career in New Jersey working for U.S. Rep. Michael Pappas, got the Saturday Night Live treatment in an episode hosted by Kristen Stewart.
Melissa McCarthy made a special appearance as the spokesman for Donald Trump.
McCarthy, as Spicer, delivered a shrill attack on the White House press core.
“I came out here to punch you in the face. And also I don’t talk so good,” Spicer says.

The sketch also poked fun at Spicer’s avowed habit of chewing and swallowing gum, with McCarthy pouring several pieces into her mouth at the lectern, chewing a bit then storing the wad for later.
A hostile back-and-forth with the press ensues, with Spicer taking a vote on how many in the room hate a reporter who asks about a “Muslim ban.”
“Let the record show that everyone raised their hands because everyone hates Glen, so print that. That’s your story.”
Spicer eventually turns a water gun and the lectern itself on the press.
