Melissa McCarthy was seen taping for Saturday Night Live in Midtown Manhattan on Friday, cruising down the street on a motorized White House podium dressed as Sean Spicer.

Yes, that's right — Spicey is BACK.
When @melissamccarthy films an SNL skit in front of your office.
Dressed up as the White House press secretary, McCarthy rode through rush hour traffic, down 58th Street and outside the CNN building.

Of course, a few jokes just had to be made.
There is a one-in-ten chance this is actually @PressSec Sean Spicer, fleeing. https://t.co/zwGmtfFif8
Have to imagine Spicey will end up back in the shrubbery tomorrow night. https://t.co/ixCJjGgRD2
that would be "amidst Midtown traffic" https://t.co/06sWRdfxN7
The sighting comes two days after SNL released a teaser for this weekend's show featuring McCarthy dancing around the studio and lip-syncing "I Feel Pretty" as she got made over as Spicer.
