"Mark your calendars! Oscar-nominated actress Melissa McCarthy is set to return to NBC&amp;apos;s Studio 8H in April to host Saturday Night Live for the second time, sources tell Us Weekly.\r\n\r\nThe Identity Thief star, 42 -- still on a high from her latest comedy&amp;apos;s $100 million take at the box office -- has been tapped for the legendary late-night show&amp;apos;s April 6 episode. It will be her second stint as host in two years.\r\n\r\nMcCarthy -- who started her career doing sketch comedy with the Groundlings, an improv troupe based in L.A. -- earned rave reviews for her first go-around on SNL in October 2011. Critics praised the Emmy winner for having fun and fearlessly committing to every sketch.\r\n\r\nAmong the highlights from her last hosting gig? A reunion with her Bridesmaids co-star Kristen Wiig in the &amp;quot;Lawrence Welk Show&amp;quot; cold opening, a skit about an inappropriate office worker (McCarthy) who sexually harasses her co-worker (Jason Sudeikis), and a hilarious bit featuring the comedienne as an obsessive Hidden Valley Ranch fan.\r\nTell Us: Are you looking forward to Melissa McCarthy&amp;apos;s second Saturday Night Live appearance?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
