Thatâs right, one of our favorite funny ladies can now add rapper to her repertoire. In a series of promos for this weekâs Saturday Night Live, Melissa McCarthy is endlessly funny while getting her nails done alongside SNL cast member Vanessa Bayer. Melissa will be this weekâs host with musical guest Kanye West.
Melissaâs comedic prowess is in full effect when making up nail polish names, getting confused between âpolishâ and âPolish,â and making a classic dad joke about how her manicurist ânailed it.â
The real kicker, though, is when Vanessa and Melissa strike up a conversation about their favorite Kanye songs. Vanessaâs is the anthemic âStrongerâ from Kanyeâs Graduation album, while Melissaâs is âButterscotch Manâ which, according to her, is from his âthird or fifteenthâ album. (Just in case you were wondering, Kanye has only released seven studio albums). She then goes on to rap the lyrics to this apparently long-lost Kanye song: âB-b-b-b-butterscotch man/ tater tot yam/ put in my ham (ham)/ butterscotch man.â
A true lyrical genius, that Melissa McCarthy. And who knows? Maybe Kanye will perform âButterscotch Manâ on this weekâs SNL. Stranger things have happenedâŠÂ
