Melissa McCarthy Falls in Heels [VIDEO]


Melissa McCarthy Falls in Heels [VIDEO], Melissa McCarthy took the hosting job to new heights in Saturday Night Live.

The comedienne, 42, hosted the show for her second time, decided to style a pair of platform heels to deliver her opening monologue Saturday, April 7, but forgot to practice walking in them first.

McCarthy wobbled her way onto the stage and used a chair to help balance, but she ended up falling on the floor as part of the funny sketch. The Identity Thief star then performed a song and dance number with Taran Killam on her knees.

After getting back on her feet, she explained to the audience, "They told me, 'Make sure you practice in your shoes.' I said, 'What, I live in heels!' But I don't do that. That was not honest. I'm primarily in a Croc."

"I just really wanted to get all gussied up for you guys," she said. "Wow, I can't feel anything from my arch to my toes," she joked. "You could just bite that half off."

With her quads "seizing up," McCarthy fell off stage and kicked off the show from the floor.
