Melissa McCarthy wins Emmy for her portrayal of former White House press secretary Sean Spicer. So well deserved.

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. 

The Daily Show creates video homage to the now departed Sean Spicer.

Oh that was.....let's just say beautiful.

But I think we all know what we will miss most about Spicey leaving.

 Oh yeah, I feel a hole in my heart already.

Easter greetings from Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer last night on SNL.

Melissa McCarthy reprised her role as press secretary Sean Spicer on "Saturday Night Live," this time dressed in an Easter Bunny costume and offering an apology for the White House spokesman's comments calling concentration camps "Holocaust centers" last week.

I swear watching Melissa McCarthy as Sean "Spicey" Spicer is my new favorites thing.

I could watch a whole show with just her playing that character, with perhaps a little Kate McKinnon as Kellyanne Conway thrown in just to keep things lively.

Actually to be honest I am just very appreciative of ANYTHING that can make me laugh right now.

Shows like SNL, the Daily Show, the Late Show, Full Frontal, and Last Week Tonight are keeping me sane.

Alec Baldwin returns to SNL this weekend and promises it will be a "big deal."

What nuggets of comedic gold will Alec Baldwin’s hosting stint on Saturday Night Live bring us this weekend? Who knows? Maybe he doesn’t even know. (Nah. Of course he does. And maybe Melissa McCarthy and Rosie O’Donnell know, too?) But as he puts it ever so dramatically in the cinematic teaser for the episode: “The pull of fate is undeniable.” Strap on your seat belts, everybody. We have a feeling this is going to be … yuge.

Like I said before currently SNL is "must see TV" in my home so I am certainly going to be watching this Saturday.

And since this bit from Melissa McCarthy last weekend almost cost Sean Spicer his job, it is now going to be entertaining to see what SNL does next to rattle Trump's cage.

Personally I would LOVE to see an appearance by Rosie O'Donnell as Stephen Bannon, but we shall see.

Yes, we shall see.

SNL enjoying highest ratings in 22 years.

If President Donald Trump tweets about Saturday Night Live‘s terrible ratings, consider it the fakest of news: In reality, the NBC sketch-comedy series is having its most-viewed season in 22 years.

The most recent SNL, in which Melissa McCarthy lampooned White House press secretary Sean Spicer, nabbed a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49, according to TVLine’s sister site, Variety. As such, the late-night laugher ranked behind only CBS’ The Big Bang Theory as the highest rated program in the demo. These numbers are in line with SNL‘s overall Season 42 viewership — its best since Season 20 — which is up 19 percent in the demo and 22 percent in total viewers over last year.

SNL‘s recent success is likely to irk the ratings-conscious Trump, who used part of his speaking time at February’s National Prayer Breakfast to malign Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stewardship of Celebrity Apprentice, which Trump used to host (and on which he is still credited as an executive producer). 

Oh yeah, this is going to piss Cheeto Hitler off big time.

Which is why it's such awesome news.

I have to admit that this is the first time since Tina Fey was mocking our favorite dimwitted Mat-Su moron that I have so actively looked forward to Saturday nights.

SNL hit a home run last night.

I think the only thing wrong with this skit is that Steve Bannon is actually scarier than the angel of death.

And fatter.

But as great as that cold open was, it was not the best skit of the night in my opinion.

That was the great Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer and she just killed it!

I can't even begin to imagine how pissed off all of this makes Trump and his merry band of morons, but just thinking of it puts a big old smile on my face.
