Based on the wild success of last week’s Melissa McCarthy appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she absolutely lambasted White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer into oblivion, McCarthy returned this week, starring in the show’s cold open.

She, playing Spicer, was still as mean, still nasty to the press, and still as hilarious.

“I’d like to announce that I’m calm now,” McCarthy yelled. “And I will remain calm as long as you sons of … I’m not going to do that, because that’s the old Spicey. And this is the new Spicey.”

Watch McCarthy tackle the new Spicey in all of his gum-chewing, Ivanka-promoting, doll-playing glory, and then watch him welcome Jeff Sessions to the podium.
