The show's opening monologue showcased the 42-year-old starlet wobbling her way on stage in some very high heels. After grasping a chair to help keep her balance, and admitting that she hadn't practiced walking in the platfor shoes, the "Identity Thief" starlet came tumbling down as a part of the funny opening sketch.

Melissa McCarthy says she is still trying to lose weight, a task she calls a "work in progress," but adds that she currently has other things to worry about.

The 41-year-old has been gaining popularity in the past year. She won her first Emmy for her role in the CBS sitcom "Mike & Molly," which premiered last year and depicts an overweight couple who met at an Overeaters' Anonymous meeting, and gained praise for her supporting part in the 2011 female comedy movie "Bridesmaids" and her hosting stint on "Saturday Night Live."

Melissa McCarthy made her "Saturday Night Live" hosting debut on Saturday, October 1.

The "Mike & Molly" star teamed up with her "Bridesmaids" co-star and "Saturday Night Live" cast member Kristen Wiig during a few sketches, including her opening monologue. During the monologue, McCarthy and Wiig sang and danced.

Melissa McCarthy, who walked away with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the recent Emmy Awards, says that motherhood helped her deal with her body insecurities.

"The stupid stuff like what I wear or how I look I can't control, so I just try not to give too much energy to it," McCarthy told The Hollywood Reporter. "At 20, I would have been like: 'Don't they like me? Was it my hair?' At 41, I think the things that define me, I hope, are a lot more than those kinds of petty things."
