believe i'm saying this. melissa mccarthy is host on saturday night live this weekend. but it's jermaine. >> i think that's partly the times we're living in. media people become personalities in a way they haven't been in past administrations, so i think in some ways that's just destined to happen. clearly, one of the things that characterized the beginning of this administration, the first few months was these outsighed overdone, sense of chaos, the sense of the intensity that turned sean spicer, let's face it, from a guy we all knew as sort of a run of the mill washington republican communicator into a kind of household name that is mocked -- who is mocked on saturday night live. that's something that doesn't usually happen. i can't imagine nicole felt like she had become that necessarily, very quickly, at least. so -- >> i feel like -- yeah, your point is taken.
