We were waiting for this.

Melissa McCarthy’s impression of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on SNL was the most-watched video in the world over the weekend.

The actress’s take on Spicer received rave reviews with some people calling it “one of the best Saturday Night Live sketches ever.”

Speaking to Extra at the Super Bowl last night, Spicer gave his reaction to the skit and he was pretty chilled about it all.

Extra report that his advice was that McCarthy “needs to slow down on the gum chewing; way too many pieces in there.” Though he thought it was a really “funny” show, he felt that McCarthy “could dial back” a bit.

Here’s the sketch if you haven’t seen it.

Spicer also spoke to Extra about Alec Baldwin’s bit regarding Donald Trump.

“Alec has gone from funny to mean, and that’s unfortunate. ‘SNL’ used to be really funny. There’s a streak of meanness now that they’ve crossed over to mean.”

We expected his reaction to be more like this.
