[@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

Emma Sullivan everybody loves her i love her

[@gojumpoffacliff13]

The audience are told when to cheer

[@LC-uz6em]

SNL test the shows every Saturday. They have a live audience in the afternoon. They run through the show and based on the responses when they select what they will do that evening. The audience is prompted to cheer for the musical guest when they come on, but during the sketches, they don't. I have been at SNL and I have also gone to Trevor Noah tapings. On TN they ask you to cheer for the guest (usually they are cerebral guest that only geeks would cheer for) but if the host or skits are not funny then it will be a flat joke, with a bad response​.

[@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.

[@davehugstrees]

Sadly, Sean Spicer resigned today. I'll miss Melissa McCarthy on SNL for sure.

True, but that's not a skill many can acquire or improvise on the fly. So more props to Melissa.

tnargtnarud I didn't mean to imply she was depending only on Ad-libs; rather a combination of great writing w/some Ad-libs thrown in.

[@gutteda]

I can't stop watching this. Melissa McCarthy is a national treasure.

[@gutteda]

Yo, first of all Meryl is #1 in the national treasure "conversation" bar none! And next, we do not need to discount Melissa McCarthy by making a stupid list of 1 great actor, 1 actor emeritus and 1 mediocre actor. Just enjoy her.

[@gutteda]

I keep responding to you just because I keep coming back to watch. Meryl and Melissa need to do a movie together. Amirite?

[@tnargtnarud]

Wow don't be disrespectful, she's been in plenty of GREAT movies if you actually take the time to educate yourself into watching different types of films. There's room for both Melissa and Meryl.

[@tnargtnarud]

You're being so ignorant, it's sad. Just because you were born later than Meryl was, doesn't mean she doesn't deserve relevancy as anyone else. You think people 30 years from now will feel the same way about Beyonce as people do now? No. Because it's a new generation, but to dismiss the past like they're dead and forgotten is extremely stupid and disrespectful. There's no point in me naming great movies she's been in because at the end of the day, your dumb ass won't watch it or care about it because if it's not about explosions, breasts, and fast pace editing, it don't interest you. I seriously hope you educate yourself in respecting people more.

[@AdamSmalley]

The Hours, August: Osage County, Iron Lady, Doubt, Adaptation, Cry In The Dark, Sophie's Choice, Kramer Vs. Kramer, Silkwood. Those are just a few of her incredibly famous and well respected films both old and new. Just a few. If you haven't heard of those check them out.
