Melissa McCarthy brought home an Emmy this weekend for her memorable impersonation of former White House press secretary Sean Spicer on "Saturday Night Live."
The actress won an Emmy for best actress on a comedy series at the Emmy’s creative arts awards Sunday, according to The Associated Press. The awards are a precursor to the main show next weekend.
McCarthy’s impersonation of Spicer, featuring her driving a podium through New York City, firing a water gun at reporters and repeatedly threatening to run them over with the podium, drew wide praise.
There are very few positives to take away from the Trump presidency (And THAT'S an understatement if ever there were one.) but McCarthy's impersonation of "Spicey" was certainly my favorite.
It pure joy watching what McCarthy did with these skits, and I firmly believe that the fact they upset Trump so much is part of the reason that Spicer ultimately got the big heave ho.
Here let's just take a moment to remind ourselves why she is so deserving of this honor.
Yep, still makes me laugh myself sick.
Made even better by the fact that you just know this is really fucking with Donald Trump's day.
She got the Spicy Award. Cool!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I wrote an e-mail to Alec Baldwin when I heard that he was going to retire the Trump impression. I told him that he was serving his country and he didn't have the right to quit! Laughter is more necessary than every lately. O/t Gryph, I have been anxiously awaiting your article on Tomi Lahren's great great grandfather being prosecuted for forging his immigration papers. It is on Wonkette. Hopefully you can write something abou it hear.
ReplyDeleteWonkette is a great blog. Glad to hear that Melissa McCarthy won this award. She was very deserving.
DeletePick it up on 5-8th

She deserves it. DJT can't stand being made the butt of any joke. I trust that SNL will keep it up. Humor's about the only GD thing that's going to get me through this faux presidency.

Oh, that is gonna piss off Trump and Spicer! Outstanding for her and so well deserved!
ReplyDeleteAlec is up for one next weekend as well. It should be a shoe-in, as was Julianne Moore for the (cough) "beloved" $arah.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Melissa McCarthy as Steve Bannon on '60 Minutes'.
ReplyDeletePanicked Bannon reached out to SNL to find out how he’d be portrayed after watching McCarthy destroy Spicer

ReplyDeleteLet's say it together...
"That liberal Hollywood!"
She absolutely earned this award.
ReplyDeleteNow Alec needs his for portraying Trump.
Mexico graciously offered aid to the U.S. as Hurricane Harvey battered Texas. But after nothing but crassness from Donald Trump, and with their own natural disasters to confront, that offer has been revoked.

The narcissist in chief has to make absolutely everything about him — even the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

And how could we forget this?
ReplyDeleteComplicit. One of my favorites. Looking back just makes it better. Right, Daddy?

MC Hammer: "Can't touch this."
ReplyDeleteYou GO, SNL. Want to go up against Lorne Michaels, donnie boy? Another stake in your coffin that can't come too soon.
Ted Cruz "liked" porn site and Twitter reacts as you can imagine.

One can only hope this was a hack designed to put Cruz out of the running for future VP should Trump/Pence et all be impeached.
Yeah, like Paul Ryan would choose Ted Cruz for his VP.
I hope SNL takes down the whole corrupt family.
ReplyDeleteIndeed the Russian trumpy scammy has been a real pick me up for late night. Sadly this is our America today. Glad that we are able to laugh at a very dangerous time in history. America held hostage by little bully boys in space suits playing wars games must end.
ReplyDeleteAlexis Bledel also won an Emmy for her guest appearance on The Handmaid's Tale! Go Gilmore Girls!
ReplyDeleteI thought Melissa was great, in fact I enjoyed spicy boy more than Alex's trump.
ReplyDeleteMaybe because his interpretation was too close to the truth to really laugh, while hers was over the top.
I still laugh every time I think of her pulling out the stuffed animals doing Moose Lambs!!!
Kudos to McCarthy and the SNL staff.
