Spicer and Trump's Relationship Enters the Next Level (On SNL)

With rumors swirling that press secretary Sean Spicer's days may be numbered, Saturday Night Live squeezed as much humor out of the hilarious character -- portrayed by actress Melissa McCarthy -- as possible.

In its skit, deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, depicted as much more cordial with the press corps than has actually been the case, began the media briefing. Sanders's boss, Spicer, is spotted hiding in the bushes -- something that actually happened this week after news of Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey broke -- and then takes over.

After trying to convince the press that the president has no nefarious ties to Russia -- by using nesting dolls that include likenesses of Comey, Hillary Clinton, Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, and Vladimir Putin -- the media presents Spicer with the notion that Trump may be lying to him. Incredulous, Spicer takes his podium to New York City, eventually finding his boss at a New Jersey golf course.

Trump tickles and then kisses his underling, just as Spicer realizes how the make-out may portend his future.
