Show’s host struggles with impossibly high heels, fails

Apr 8, 2013 09:38 GMT  ·  By

For her second Saturday Night Live hosting gig, Melissa McCarthy wanted to really look her best, so she lied to producers by telling them she pretty much lived in high heels. You can only imagine what happened when she actually took to the stage.

Check out her opening monolog in the video below.

Tottering on impossibly high heels, Melissa is seen struggling to stay upright and repeatedly failing to do so.

She falls flat on her face twice during the number but, don’t worry, it was all part of the joke.

As a bonus, the second video embedded at the end of the post is another of the highlights of the show: Bobby Moynihan’s Drunk Uncle and his brother Peter Drunklage, aka Peter Dinklage of HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” talking about taxes.
