Melissa McCarthy returned to the Saturday Night Live stage last night, April 6, for the second time. See her struggle - a.k.a. fall - through her opening monologue after ignoring the advice of the wardrobe department, in the video!

McCarthy hosted last night's episode of SNL alongside Phoenix, who served as the show's featured musical guest.

Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation; and, as The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999: "In Defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
