Melissa McCarthy has opened the floodgates, with actors left, right and centre scrambling to volunteer – only half-jokingly – to stick the boot into the Donald Trump administration on Saturday Night Live.
The Ghostbusters star won admiration the world over for her performance as gum-chewing, hissy-fit throwing White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

Melissa McCarthy nails Sean Spicer
Melissa McCarthy's impression of press secretary Sean Spicer looks set to become a regular feature on Saturday Night Live.
The impersonation has struck a nerve inside the Trump administration, with the President himself reportedly upset his chief spinner was portrayed by a woman.
Now, it seems everyone in Hollywood wants in on the action.

Comedian Rosie O'Donnell has, of course, put up her plan to play Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Now, The Good Wife star Christine Baranski has thrown her hat in the ring. Speaking at the premiere of sister series The Good Fight, the award-winning actor joked that she has an uncanny resemblance to Trump's education secretary Betsy DeVos.
"It would seem somewhat logical," Baranski told Vanity Fair. "We have that strong jawline, don't we?"
There would be plenty of material for Baranski to work with, should SNL's producers take up her offer.

DeVos has been widely mocked for her lack of knowledge about the American education system, as well as her now notorious comment where she said during a Senate grilling that she believed guns belong in schools to fight off bears.
The vote approving her nomination was also the closest result in history, with Vice President Pence having to cast a vote in order to avoid a deadlock.

The similarities between Baranski and DeVos end with appearances, however, with The Good Wife star admitting her poltical views fall more in line with former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
"I can play people with whom I drastically disagree," she said.
"The [SNL] sketches have been unbelievable all through the election, and the post-election. We could have a revolving door of people playing the cabinet members."
Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin's younger brother, Bill Baldwin, has joked that he would do an amazing Eric Trump impression on SNL.
"I've got the slicked back hair," he joked during an Access Hollywood interview.
"I'm a little old old for that, but … I just have to sit there and go, duh."
Alec Baldwin's famous Trump impersonation will make a reappearance on this week's episode of SNL, with Baldwin hosting the show for a record 17th time. Ed Sheeran is also scheduled to make an appearance as this week's musical guest.
