We haven't heard much from 'SNL' since Melissa McCarthy hosted the pre-Super Bowl installment on February 1, but given NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics, late night took an understandable back seat.

Existing writer and '7 Minutes in Heaven' performer Michael Patrick O'Brien will go in front of the camera as a featured player, w

'The Internship' star Vince Vaughn's recent 'SNL' hosting gig might have been a mixed bag of cobras, Vaughn not having hosted the late-night sketch comedy series in about 15 years, but the newest host revealed during the airing is more than enough to have us excited.

NBC may have been busy today with some other big late-night news, but that will all fall by the wayside when 'Identity Thief' and 'Bridesmaids' star Melissa McCarthy returns to the 'SNL' stage for a second time, accompanied by musical guest Phoenix.
