If you're not completely and utterly excited for Melissa McCarthy to host Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest Imagine Dragons, take this as an opportunity: Judging by these charming promos, this episode will probably be awesome. A highlight: McCarthy learns that she can't say the word "Super Bowl" on NBC because the game isn't airing on the network, so she and Kenan Thompson read off some NBC-approved alternatives. Also, at one point, she punches Thompson for insinuating that her first two times hosting SNL weren't as good as this episode will be. Classic.

You can check out the promos above. Saturday Night Live, as always, will air on Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET, on NBC.
