Melissa McCarthy is hosting Saturday Night Live again!

The Identity Thief and Mike & Molly star will return as the late-night sketch show's host for its April 6 episode. This will be McCarthy's second time hosting the show.

McCarthy's return to SNL is just the latest triumph for the Bridesmaids star; her latest flick Identity Thief, which costars Jason Bateman, has earned over $100 million mark at the box office.

McCarthy hosted the long-running NBC show for the first time back in October 2011 and earned rave reviews in her debut.

The musical guest for McCarthy's episode has yet to be announced.

Justin Timberlake is set to host and perform on Saturday Night Live on March 9, and NBC recently released promos featuring the "Suit and Tie" singer.

US Weekly first reported the news.
