From The Hollywood Reporter:
Dave Chappelle and Melissa McCarthy won best guest actor and actress in a comedy series Emmys for hosting Saturday Night Live.
McCarthy also notably portrayed now-former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on the show on several occasions, winning raves for her impersonation.
…
The 42-year-old variety show is coming off a huge year as it took advantage of the election and Trump presidency to draw an average of 11 million weekly viewers to see a slew of impersonators; in addition to McCarthy, Kate McKinnon portrayed Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Beck Bennett as Vice President Mike Pence and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Remember that time, only two weeks into this abomination of a presidency? McCarthy’s send-up of Spicer was the only ray of light in a very dark place.
Congratulations, and thank you, Melissa McCarthy! 🏆🍾🥂
