Rachel Dratch brought “Pumpkin Spice” to the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.

The actress-comedian debuted the character — the “long-lost sixth member” of the Spice Girls — earlier this month as part of Dunkin’ latest campaign in a spot that also featured Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton and Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell-Horner.

On Sunday, Dratch and Bunton presented at the VMAs, which also featured a two-part sketch where she’s on a mission to get a Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Latter.

In one segment, a backstage crew member addresses “Pumpkin Spice” as Dratch. The actress then shows (very humorous) ’90s-style magazines featuring her on the covers to prove her identity. For fans of her Saturday Night Live character Debbie Downer, there’s also a fun Easter egg in one of the segments.

We won’t spoil the rest of the sketch. You can watch it for yourself below.

The 2026 VMAs , which are taking place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, will air Sept. 27 (7:30-9:30 p.m. ET/4:30-6:30 p.m. PT) on CBS and MTV and stream on Paramount+ (Premium) in the U.S. It also will be available globally the next day on Paramount+ and MTV. See the winners .
