White House press secretary Sean Spicer alluded to Melissa McCarthy's "Saturday Night Live" impression of him during Friday's press briefing, threatening a reporter by saying "don't make me make the podium move."

The joke, which came after a question from reporters about Friday's jobs report, was a reference to an "SNL" sketch that featured McCarthy, as Spicer, running over reporters behind a motorized podium.

Spicer faced a series of questions about Friday's February jobs report, including a question about whether President Trump violated a rule by tweeting about the numbers less than an hour after they were released.

A reporter said Trump may have been "too excited" about the positive report, prompting Spicer to respond "don't make me make the podium move," before adding that "every reporter here reported out" the jobs report immediately after it was released.

The U.S. economy added a robust 235,000 jobs in February, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent, continuing a streak of 77 straight months of jobs growth in the country.

“Not a bad way to start day 50 of this administration," Spicer said.
