UPDATE: July 21, 2017, 12:29 p.m. UTC Updated to include Sean Spicer's resignation.

Sean Spicer has reportedly resigned from his role as White House Press Secretary, but as he fades into the bushes the world mourns another crushing loss: Melissa McCarthy's epic Saturday Night Live performances.

While we don't yet know who's replacing Spicer, many feel the only logical thing to do is for Spicer to replace himself with Melissa McCarthy as Spicer. This makes sense.
