Melissa McCarthy is casually cruising through Midtown on Sean Spicer's podium

Go, Spicey, go!

Everyone stop what you're doing: Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer is speeding through the streets of NYC on the famous Spicey podium.

Or at least she was Friday morning.

McCarthy, who is hosting Saturday Night Live this week, is famous for her impeccable impression of Press Secretary Sean Spicer. And now, it looks like she's taking her character to the streets with a little jaunt through Manhattan.

According to CNN's host of Reliable Sources Brian Stelter, McCarthy was seen taping scenes for the show outside the CNN building this morning - not something you'd expect to see outside your office window.

Other people caught a glimpse of the Podium Mobile, too, and because of their great service, we're able to enjoy this NYC magic.

Since Spicer was allegedly hiding from this week's events literally in the bushes, we can't imagine why he'd be out and about, cruising through Manhattan. If this is a preview for Saturday's episode, we can't wait to see what else this week's SNL has in store for us.
