That’s Melissa McCarthy-as-Sean Spicer right there, riding a motorised press secretary podium through the streets of New York. As you do.

The actress is assumed to be filming something for Saturday Night Live, which she hosts this week.

It’s pretty much a given that they will somehow reference Spicer ‘huddling in the bushes’ after announcing that Trump had fired FBI Director James Comey earlier this week – something which brought Twitter no end of joy:

Cnn just reported that @seanspicer is literally hiding in the bushes on the south lawn. Grab a life boat, buddy.
