Besides everything else that was so amazing about this performance, how the hell did she not break???

[@Mia7189]

Gemma Pettersen Her background is in improvisational theatre. Actors from there are dangerous and disciplined.

[@evanfaas2560]

The podium was made from very soft and light materials. It's like a big foam prop.

[@JodyAncar]

Gemma Pettersen I really don't know because she didn't even crack a smile!

[@j.criquette3334]

Gemma - besides her just being good and professional at what she does, I got the feeling that the character was easy to stay in because it was all anger. She could just throw all her emotion and focus into that anger. Also she's played this type of character before in The Boss. And don't forget, they rehearse.

[@GildaLee27]

Watch again: when she does the line, "the President will not be deterred" holding up the turd, she almost loses it. What a pro!

[@brodyparker2547]

[@TheReal7Bit]

Do yourself a favor and watch her other SNL sketch. She **shines** when she's on SNL

[@sarcasmxkate]

Agreed. Probably because she started out in improv.

[@TravisHouze]

she was great in the movie Spy

[@redskullz1249]

Melissa is the spiritual successor to Chris Farley and John Belushi. Such an incredible ability to show flashes of pathos under incredible amounts of manic energy and physical comedy. Hopefully she lives a much longer life.

[@davidclark3588]

This will never not be one of the greatest SNL bits of all time.

[@adamgordon6435]

Odds are, Spicer won't be employed for that long. Trump's going to go through a lot of press secretaries.

[@MrSpeedyAce]

Melissa should be a permanent SNL cast member. She's hillarious!

[@LarryParker1958]

And she looks like she memorized her script, whereas sooo many others can barely take their eyes off their cue cards.

MrSpeedyAce I was thinking the same thing! She is so awesome. She nailed this.

[@sidney4747]

It think she just did. its gonna be a long 4 years and sean spicer is going to give SNL lots of skits

[@NewhamMatt]

I don't know if McCarthy appeared in any other sketches on this show, but if she didn't, that may explain how she was able to memorise her script. The SNL schedule is so tight that sketches continue to be rewritten right up until 11:30 on Saturday night. Consequently, performers - especially those in multiple sketches - don't have a chance to memorise their lines. The reason Bill Hader used to always break-up as Stefon (which he covered with his trademark hands-over-the-face) was because he was often seeing the jokes on the cue cards for the first time live on the show.

[@oludarden5556]

How the hell did she not crack during this scene is beyond me! 😂😂😂😂

[@worldatmyfingertips7771]

Every time I contradict myself in conversation I will use that line, "....it's circular using of the words..." Perfect! 😁👌...😂😂😂

[@pinkcashmeres]

@@videoman4040 BLM & Antifa weren’t at the capitol. Jobs were on a steady decline during Trump’s presidency. Now what?

[@1080TJ]

Whoever thought of casting her deserves the biggest raise available. Like, Alec Baldwin is the perfect Trump, but he's also a fairly obvious casting choice. Bernie Sanders was practically begging to be played by Larry David. It takes some seriously inspired thinking to go "you know who should play Sean Spicer? Melissa McCarthy."

[@AirQuotes]

Pigeon she's funny it was just bad writing, let's just pretend that "film" didn't happen

[@ILuvAyeAye]

I never would've come up with it, but looking back at her old characters a lot of them have a similar level of aggression. She clearly does it well.

Hey Everybody. Guess what? Pres Trump will be your next President in 2024! Can you imagine the disaster of having Biden in there for another term? Another 3 years of Boob Biden is a nightmarish thought!! We need Strength as in Trump instead of Weakness which is Biden. Biden is the reason inflation is Sky High, Our Southern Borden is being overrun by Killers and Rapists. Russia invading Ukraine. You can thank Sleepy Joe for all of that!! Only Trump can save us. Trump in 2024!!!
