Melissa McCarthy returned to Saturday Night Live to reprise her role as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. In the eight-minute skit, McCarthy delivers an exaggerated version of Spicer's oftentimes tense press conferences with reporters. When one reporter asks Spicer to explain what the Trump administration means by "extreme vetting," McCarthy as Spicer angrily attempts to break down what Trump's extreme vetting would look like.

"You know what? Spice is gonna explain it so you dumb babies can understand it," McCarthy shouts, before pulling out dolls to get her point across.

"Here's how it's gonna go down," she says before explaining that the TSA would easily allow Barbie in to the country because "she's blonde," but Disney's Moana doll would be subject to a pat down and thorough email check. "If we don't like the answers — which we won't — boom, Guantanamo Bay!"

In another over-the-top moment, McCarthy spoofed Spicer's real-life gaff this week when he claimed there was a terror attack in Atlanta, then later clarified that he meant Orlando. "Obviously I meant Orlanta!" McCarthy told reporters.

McCarthy then mocked the news of Nordstrom dropping Ivanka Trump's clothing line from their retailers as "light terrorism," adding, "That's Nordstrom's loss because these are high quality products," before modeling some of her pieces.

If that weren't enough, Jeff Sessions, portrayed by Kate McKinnon, makes an appearance. Watch the full cold open above.
