Sean Spicer

Emmy's host Stephen Colbert took shots at US President Donald Trump’s tweeting habits, but it was the appearance of former White House press secretary Sean Spicer that stunned the star-studded audience, including Melissa McCarthy.

A beaming Spicer, donning a suit and bow tie, walked on stage at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles wheeling in a podium that looked like the one he used to stand behind while addressing journalists at the White House, except it had ‘The Emmys Hollywood’ written on it.

McCarthy, who won a guest actress Emmy award this year for parodying Spicer on NBC’s late night sketch show Saturday Night Live, expressed surprise and laughed as she tapped her nose.

“This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period, both in person and around the world,” Spicer said while pointing his finger at Colbert, the Emmys’ host.

“Wow, that really soothes my fragile ego,” Colbert deadpanned, before pointing at Spicer and saying, “Melissa McCarthy everyone, give it up,” as Spicer laughed and shook his head.
