Sean Spicer kicked off his inevitable redemption tour at the Emmys tonight, playing the best possible version of himself — Melissa McCarthy.
Much to the shock and amazement of Anna Chlumsky and Sarah Hyland, in particular, the former White House press secretary wheeled his erstwhile podium out on stage to assure host Stephen Colbert that this season's telecast would be able to boast of "the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period. Both in person and around the world."
"Wow, that really soothes my fragile ego," Colbert replied. "I can understand why you would want one of these guys around. Melissa McCarthy, everybody."
