Melissa and Ben appeared on Ellen to promote Nobodies, a new original comedy they produced on TV Land debuting March 29.
The Ghostbusters actress, 46, first dressed up as Spicer, 45, during a sketch on the February 4 episode of SNL when Kristen Stewart hosted.
She has since returned to the venerable NBC satirical comedy show to play Spicer again.

During the appearance, Melissa explained how she became SNL's secret satirical weapon.
The Identity Thief star said she was approached to play the press secretary by an old pal, who happens to be SNL's head writer.

'I was like, "What? How am I going to do that?"' the longtime Mike & Molly star told Ellen, eliciting much laughter.
'And cut to somebody saying like, "Boy, do you really look like that guy!"' she continued.
Melissa then recalled her reaction with mock outrage. 'I was like, "Wait a minute,"' she said.

The Gilmore Girls star comically recapped her feelings upon seeing herself as Spicer in the mirror.
'The weird thing is I think I look so much like my dad,' she said.
Then she took it one step further, adding, 'I feel like my dad and Sean Spicer had a baby and it's me, which makes it even weirder.'

The Spy star said that putting on the prosthetics to transform into the press secretary was completely cray cray.
'The weirdest thing is that you mess with your ears and it really changes the shape of your head,' Melissa said.
'And then I really got into it and asked, Can I have eye bags?' the Boss actress continued. 'And the answer was, Yes!'

Ellen next wanted to know how Melissa's husband felt about the whole thing. Ben laughed about how 'sexy' wasn't exactly the first word that came to mind when he witnessed his wife in disguise as Spicer.
When Melissa returned to SNL to play Spicer again, the couple's kids, daughters Vivian, aged nine, and Georgette, aged seven, dropped by to watch mom in action.
'The girls were there the second time I did it and they were like, Yikes!' Melissa said.

Then Melissa, Ben and their daughters decided to have some fun. 'We took weird family pictures,' Melissa said.
'I think that should be your Christmas card,' Ellen quipped.
Melissa shot back, 'I think it's going to be!'
