Melissa McCarthy is set to return to NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” on Super Bowl Weekend’s episode airing Feb. 1, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.

This will be the “The Heat” actress’ third time hosting the NBC late night sketch show. A musical guest is still to be announced. Previously, she hosted in October 2011 and last April, which garnered great reviews but average ratings.
