'SNL' says goodbye to Sean Spicer with the best Melissa McCarthy impressions
"Spicey out."
That was the bittersweet caption Friday evening on Saturday Night Live's tweet marking the probable end of Melissa McCarthy's tenure as former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
McCarthy's been playing the role on the sketch comedy show since February and was hands down a fan favorite. She could imitate Spicer's bumbling and short temper like a pro. Now with Spicer's resignation, McCarthy's impressions are probably doomed.
But we have SNL's recap to entertain us one more time:

SNL packed in all the memories in their 45-second tribute to the comic genius that was McCarthy's Spicey. There are fire extinguishers and leaf blowers, roving podiums, so much reporter mocking and of course, "Moose-lambs."
Spicer and McCarthy may be done for in the White House and on the SNL set, but we've got Aidy Bryant's Sarah Huckabee Sanders to look forward to, so don't spit all that gum out yet.
Sasha is a news writer at Mashable's San Francisco office. She's an SF native who went to UC Davis and later received her master's from the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. She's been reporting out of her hometown over the years at Bay City News (news wire), SFGate (the San Francisco Chronicle website), and even made it out of California to write for the Chicago Tribune. She's been described as a bookworm and a gym rat.
