Comedian Melissa McCarthy reprised her role as Sean Spicer in a whirlwind skit that saw the White House press secretary fighting back against questions and complaints about his role as the president’s top spokesman and ending in a big kiss.
Following a grueling press conference where he pushes White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders out of the way and clashes with New York Times’ Glenn Thrush, McCarthy goes on a journey to New York City to find Trump and ask if he’s going to be axed soon amid concerns that he’s no longer doing an adequate job as spokesman and several days off due to Navy Reserve duty.

The trip included footage of McCarthy on her rolling podium through the streets of New York, which happened on Friday.

McCarthy was told at Trump Tower that the president no longer stays there, and was redirected to Trump’s golf course in New Jersey.
It was there McCarthy found Trump, once again portrayed by Alec Baldwin, who appeared in the cold opening.
Asked if the roll of press secretary would soon be vacant, Baldwin reassured McCarthy before taking things in an unexpected direction.
“Sean, kiss me. takes a step forward,” Baldwin said.
“I can’t I have a wife. I took vows,” McCarthy replied.
“I’m famous, it’s OK,” Baldwin said, making a faint reference to the leaked 2005 “Access Hollywood” video in which Trump said he could get away with grabbing women “by the pussy” because he’s famous.
“No no wait, is that like ‘The Godfather’ when you kiss me and no one ever sees me again?” McCarthy asked.
“Yes,” Trump said before initiating a very physical make-out session.
