Melissa McCarthy has been announced as the host for the upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live” in December. This will mark her sixth time hosting the popular NBC sketch comedy series, with musical guest Dijon set to make his debut appearance on the show. McCarthy’s last time hosting was in 2017, where she also made memorable cameo appearances as former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer.
The talented actress has been recognized for her work on “SNL” with six Emmy nominations, winning the award for best guest actress in a comedy series in 2017. Her return as host is highly anticipated by fans of the show, who have enjoyed her hilarious performances in the past.

The new season kicked off with Bad Bunny as musical guest, followed by hosts like Amy Poehler, Sabrina Carpenter, Miles Teller, Nikki Glaser, and Glen Powell.
In addition to its regular episodes, “SNL” has also produced spinoffs like “The Anniversary Celebration,” “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” “Beyond Saturday Night,” and “50 Years of SNL Music,” all of which have received critical acclaim and numerous award nominations.
