Melissa McCarthy returned to Saturday Night Live to reprise her impression of Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary.
McCarthy’s Spicer went behind the mic dressed in a bunny suit, prepped for the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll. McCarthy’s Spicer apologized for certain offensive remarks made by the real Spicer during a briefing on April 11.

During the press briefing, the real Spicer commented on President Trump’s decision to launch air strikes on Syria. Spicer stated that even Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons on his own people. The remark sparked a lot of backlash from people who clearly knew more about the Holocaust than Spicer appeared to know.
McCarthy’s Spicer apologized for calling concentration camps “Holocaust centers."
“Spicey finally screwed up. You got me,” McCarthy as Spicer said. “I clearly meant to say ‘concentration clubs.’”
McCarthy’s Spicer continued to put gasoline on the flames by saying that while he knows that “concentration clubs” were reached by train, “at least they didn’t have to fly United.”
After the reference to the United Airline’s scandal, McCarthy’s Spicer wrapped up the briefing.
“Okay, Spicey’s gotta hippity-hop,” he said. “Everybody just eat as much candy as you want, because it’s probably our last Easter on Earth.”
McCarthy will return to SNL next month to host the show’s live broadcast.
