Melissa McCarthy's Got Jokes, Or So She Thinks, In This Clip From 'The Boss'

For her latest star vehicle, Melissa McCarthy worked with one of her favorite collaborators -- her husband, Ben Falcone. He directed and co-wrote "The Boss ," in which McCarthy plays the powerful Michelle Darnell, a newly freed convict seeking to restore her public image after an insider-trading scandal. 

The Huffington Post and its parent company, AOL , have an exclusive clip from the new comedy. In the scene, Michelle's "hangry" personal assistant (Kristen Bell) can't get her to shut up long enough to prep for a media appearance. Along the way, Michelle has jokes -- they're just not the right ones. See for yourself.

"The Boss" opens April 8.
