Comedy legend Melissa McCarthy has etched her name in the history books by hosting Saturday Night Live for a record sixth time. Joining an elite group of female celebrities who have hosted the show five or more times, McCarthy's impressive milestone places her alongside Drew Barrymore, Tina Fey, and Scarlett Johansson. In her lively monologue, McCarthy kicked off the seventh episode of SNL's 51st season, setting a festive tone for the holiday season. She playfully described the time of year as 'special' and a time for family, friends, and Christmas spirit. McCarthy also showcased her unique musical talent by introducing her 'instrument' of choice - the mouth horn. The actress's comedic performances throughout the show left audiences in stitches. Her eccentric characters, including a cheeky elderly lady and a quirky UPS worker, received widespread praise on social media. The show began with a hilarious Cold Open featuring Colin Jost as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and James Austin Johnson as President Donald Trump.
