Alec Baldwin to host "Saturday Night Live" for 16th time
(CBS) Alec Baldwin is hosting the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live."
It will be the 16th time the "30 Rock" star has acted as host, which is a record for the show, according to the New York Times.
Executive producer Lorne Michaels also told the Times that "Bridesmaids"/"Mike & Molly" actress Melissa McCarthy has been lined up to host the season's second episode.
Michaels told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour that all of the current "SNL" cast members will be back for the new season. But there could still be some fresh faces when the show returns - he added that auditions will be held at the end of August.
