The post began with McCarthy addressing a question she apparently gets from time to time: What does she actually do on a typical Saturday?
“So sometimes people ask me, like, what do you do on a Saturday? What’s a typical day for you? I’m like, I think I do the same thing as everybody else,” she said.
That setup made her answer sound as though she was about to reveal an especially ordinary weekend routine. And, in one sense, she was. McCarthy then turned the camera toward the chore occupying her Saturday — drying her wigs with a hair dryer.

After showing viewers exactly what she was doing, she turned the camera back toward herself and summed it up simply: “Wash and dry my wigs.”
The mundane task was funny enough on its own, but the clip also gave followers a particularly candid look at McCarthy without makeup. That seemingly unplanned glimpse quickly became the part of the video that caught fans’ attention most.
