Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy is expected to host another episode of Saturday Night Live next month.

The hilarious actress, who just starred alongside Jason Bateman in Identity Thief, will host the April 6 episode of the long-running sketch comedy series, reports Us Weekly.

As E! News notes, McCarthy first hosted the show in October 2011 and was one of the rare recent hosts to earn widespread praise. You can check out a couple of her sketches below:

McCarthy’s Identity Thief is the first film of 2013 to reach $100 million at the box office. Her next film, The Heat, teams her with Sandra Bullock and Bridesmaids director Paul Feig. It hits theaters in June. She currently stars on CBS' Mike & Molly and earned an Emmy nomination for her SNL hosting performance. She also won an Emmy in 2011 for Mike & Molly.

Meanwhile, this weekend’s SNL will feature Justin Timberlake, who will perform and host the show. Timberlake is also set to make appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon every night next week.
