Actress Melissa McCarthy was spotted riding through Manhattan streets Friday in full costume as White House press secretary Sean Spicer, according to CNN.
The actress drove outside CNN’s New York City offices in a motorized White House briefing room podium that she had used before in "Saturday Night Live" sketches. The network posted a video on Facebook.
"Saturday Night Live" filmed the segment with McCarthy Friday morning, as the actress yelled at passersby in character as Spicer, CNN reported.
While she has appeared in guest spots as Spicer this season on "SNL," this week the actress is hosting the NBC comedy show. NBC posted a video of her getting ready to play Spicer.
After taking time off for U.S. Naval Reserve duty, Spicer returned to holding briefings Friday, according to CBS News.
