Two timer: Melissa McCarthy returned to Saturday Night Live on Saturday for her second time hosting the sketch comedy show
For her cold open, the 42-year-old actress painstakingly made her way down a small flight of stairs wearing a pair of sky-high, red glitter platforms.
Exasperated by the treacherous walk in her shoes, she joked: ‘I should have tried these shoes on.’
Using her great skill for physical comedy, Melissa reached for a chair behind the sax player to use as a walker.

The actress quipped that she truthfully isn’t used to heels: ‘I’m primarily in a Croc, which is a… just a little different pitch from what I’m doing right now, but I just really wanted to get all gussied up for you guys and, like, put on a big show.’
Melissa did just that.
