When Melissa McCarthy takes the stage at Studio 8H this Saturday night — hopefully in heels she already has rehearsed in — she brings a lot of Saturday Night Live history with her.
McCarthy will be hosting SNL for a sixth time this weekend, but the comedic actress has appeared in other installments beyond those — often as blink-and-you-missed-him White House press secretary Sean Spicer, and once to help usher Martin Short into the 5-Timers Club.
McCarthy’s SNL appearances often are as memorable as they are boisterously funny. But you’re busy and only have a few minutes to spare, so the Saturday Night Network has put together this breezy yet in-depth look back at McCarthy’s appearances on the show. Hosted by Saturday Night Network’s Jon Schneider and produced and edited by James Stephens, the highlight reel above revisits the sketches, characters, and moments that made McCarthy a legendary SNL host.
What has been your favorite of McCarthy’s many SNL visits? And are there any past or recurring characters you hope she takes a fresh crack at again, when she hosts for a sixth time this Saturday night?
