Melissa McCarthy is returning to host "Saturday Night Live" this week and we've got two reasons why we hope that's great news: Arlene and Linda.

Our two favorite skits from her October 2011 hosting stint were her overly sexually aggressive office worker, Arlene, and her overly excited salad dressing taste-tester, Linda.

Both characters are certainly reminiscent of Megan, the "Bridesmaids" character which earned McCarthy an Oscar nomination. The film was a hit in theaters as McCarthy was tapped for her first "SNL" appearance.

You'll never looks at a horse balloon or a bottle of ranch dressing the same way again.

Check out the promos for McCarthy's return on April 6. The musical guest is Phoenix.
