There's great news for Saturday Night Live fans who love a good veteran host: the NBC series has announced that Melissa McCarthy will soon be returning to the Studio 8H stage.
The SNL team announced via Instagram that, in addition to Larry David hosting the next episode on Feb. 6, McCarthy will host the Feb. 13 episode. The post also confirmed the musical guests for the next two episodes - The 1975 and Kanye West, respectively.
It's hard to believe that the Feb. 6 episode will represent David's first time hosting, since he's been around the comedy scene for decades, has made recent appearances on SNL as a spot-on Bernie Sanders, and even served as a writer for the series back in the 1980s.
By comparison, it's also hard to believe that the Feb. 13 episode will be McCarthy's fourth time hosting. However, it's not surprising that the Mike & Molly star has been invited back to host, since her past appearances on the show have spawned hits like her topical take on an abusive basketball coach and a flying Kung-fu monologue. She even earned thee Primetime Emmy nominations for her SNL hosting gigs.
