McCarthy wins Emmy for Spicer role

Gone, but not forgotten.

Dave Chappelle and Melissa McCarthy are Emmy winners, earning trophies for their appearances on "Saturday Night Live."

Chappelle and McCarthy were announced as best guest actor and actress on a comedy series at Sunday's creative arts awards, the precursor to the main Emmy Awards ceremony set for next weekend.

Chappelle hosted the first "SNL" episode to follow last November's presidential election. McCarthy played host on another episode and also gave a manic impersonation of then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

In the end, the most noteworthy thing about Trump's war on the media, is how the media was able to not just beat him at his own game, but humiliate him. The spoof of Spicer, played by a woman -- which of course upset Trump -- is now objectively more successful than the target of the satire.

I read this thinking, "huh? How do we know who won?".

So the Emmys happens, we then know the results and after that point, its televised? I mean its not going on TV until the 16/17th September no?

Anyway, I did find her impersonation amusing (particularly going down the road on the motorised podium), and Dave Chappelle's walking dead spoof was great.

Actually, some of them are just not shown. This probably was one that should have been an exception.

Ahh, so its done in parts? Or that's how I have read that? Gotcha!

[Breccia]

Yes. There are more Emmys than fit in a single night of TV, so they do some "off screen". I'm honestly surprised these two were on the list, but I think they've always been, and McCarthy's role plus Chappelle's return were not given the special nonstandard weight I completely biasedly believe they deserved.

The Oscars are done the same way - many of the technical awards are done on a separate night - usually the night before the televised Oscars.

Those libbbberals are so full of themselves they have to spread it out to feed those Hollywood elite egos.

Liberals like Trump? He's bigly sad about not winning.

They really are - it's horrible how those libtards celebrate art and diversity when really we need to get the gun regulations removed. Where are our RIGHTS?!?!?

Maybe his new reality tv show will get some nominations.

Oh Gawd yes! The people who love Trump when he is the antithesis of a coastal elite. As I stated in the election threads, Trump is a HUGE star fucker. If Hollywood kissed his ass, he would love it.

I still feel kind of robbed that the carton-of-milk-expiry-date on the Mooch denied us months of hysterical comedy impersonations.

Of all the angles of retarded in this tweet, the one that disgusts me the most is the insinuation that a D list garbage reality TV show like the Apprentice should get an Emmy.

I can see Dave winning but Melissa's on the same shit tier comedy level as Samantha Bee, I wonder who she had to bribe to get an Emmy?

[Deletedaccount1]

She gets one but Chris Farley doesn't.

I have some bad news...

Chris Farley didn't*

Okay, who's next? Let's hear nominations for Hope Hicks.

Hope Hicks Named White House Communications Director

As I'm sure everyone here knows, Hope Hicks was the interim communications director, now that's full-time. Trump has watched people like Spicer, the Mooch, and Dubke leave in varying forms of disgrace (that's aimed at you, Mooch). She's worked with the Trump family since 2012 and Trump calls her "Hopie" and "Hopester". SNL will need someone who looks like this:



They already have a Sanders, shown on the right. I get kind of a "Zeta Jones" vibe, but I don't think she'd do it. Any thoughts?

Not only did Alec Baldwin also win for portraying Trump, Spicer made a guest appearance on a motorized podium and said it was the biggest Emmys crowd ever.

Anyone who said Trump should be mocked (cough @Skroe cough) should be pretty happy about this.

Same here. This thread assumes as much global knowledge as a thread about yesterday's Lindenstraße.

That's fucking amazing rofl.

Remember: Trump abused Sean Spicer. Spicer will turn on him. Just like everybody else. It will get ugly.

That is incredible; good for Sean Spicer for being able to make fun of himself a little bit. Funny stuff.
