Melissa McCarthy has finally returned to the iconic Saturday Night Live stage after a six-year hiatus, and her cameo in the December 21, 2024, episode did not disappoint!

This appearance marked McCarthy's first return to SNL since 2018, and her performance reminded everyone why she’s such a beloved fixture in comedy. Having hosted the show five times before, McCarthy’s comedic genius is undeniable. She earned an Emmy nomination for her debut in 2011 and won in 2017 for her portrayal of White House press secretary Sean Spicer. The Christmas episode, filled with guest appearances and sketches, showcased McCarthy at her finest, reminding viewers why her chaotic brand of humor is so perfectly suited for SNL .
Her hysterical return to the show, paired with the energy of Martin Short and the entire SNL cast, ensured this episode would be one for the books.
