Tonight, beginning at 11:30pm, I will be covering this week's episode of "Saturday Night Live". Hosting tonight is actress Melissa McCarthy; who's returning to emcee the program for her second time-- her first being on October 1st, 2011. Since hosting, McCarthy has earned an Academy Award Nomination for her scene-stealing performance as "Megan"-- the sharp-tongued future sister-in-law of Maya Rudolph's character. Following her role in "Bridesmaids", McCarthy co-starred with Jason Bateman in "Identity Thief", which was released on February 8th, 2013, and will also star alongside Sandra Bullock in the police-comedy "The Heat"; which will be leased on June 28, 2013.

I enjoyed Melissa McCarthy's first hosting appearance on "Saturday Night Live" back in 2011; mostly because she was able to strongly improve the sketches through her very enthusiastic performances. One such sketch featured McCarthy as a character named "Arlene"; who was part of a focus group that was assigned to sample different flavors of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. I remember her character being so passionate about the dressings that she literally poured one of the concoctions all over herself in a state of pure ecstasy. Another performance of McCarthy's I enjoyed took place in an office-setting; where she portrayed an employee that was constantly hitting on a co-worker; played straightfowardly by Castmember Jason Sudeikis. Watching McCarthy enable her character to stretch out in a flirtatious manner was quite humorous; mostly due to her strong commitment the role. Watching McCarthy being so very willing to go the extra mile throughout the episode's sketches was enough to get me hoping that she would host again. Hopefully tonight is no different and McCarthy is given some creative opportunities to exhibit her comedy dedication.

I am also wondering if Former "Saturday Night Live" Castmember Kristen Wiig will cameo tonight. Wiig, who starred in and co-wrote "Bridesmaids", had very good comedic chemistry with McCarthy in the 2011 comedy. I would enjoy seeing Kristen Wiig guest star in tonight's episode So, hopefully tand engage in sketches with McCarthy.
So I'm looking forward to tonight's show. And throughout the episode, I will be commenting on the sketches, the performances, the writing, and anything else that comes to mind. And by tomorrow night, I will be posting a review of the show that outlines my opinions in more detail.
So be sure to have your televisions set to NBC by 11:30pm and have my blog set on your computers. Be sure to keep refreshing your computer screens throughout the night so you can see my latest opinions. Feel free to share your own thoughts by clicking the "comment link underneath any of my posts.
