Melissa McCarthy hosted Saturday Night Livefor the fourth time this week, reminding viewers just how much better the sketch series is when she's on it. Here are the must-see highlights of the episode:

The Cold Open: When a group of Democrats go to brunch, they decide they're no longer voting for Hillary Clinton and are switching to Bernie Sanders. At this admission, Hillary (Kate McKinnon) descends from the ceiling to give a mournful serenade of "I Can't Make You Love Me," complete with a special appearance by her husband Bill Clinton (Darrell Hammond).

The Day Beyonce Turned Black: In this fake horror movie trailer, white people lose their damn minds after listening to Beyonce's unapologetically black new single "Formation." "Maybe the song isn't for us?" Bobby Moynihan asks. "But usually everything is!" Cecily Strong screams back.

The Cul-De-Sac: During a focus group for a new horror film, the audience watches videos of themselves reacting to the scariest scenes. But it's hard to imagine that whatever they were watching in the movie was more entertaining than McCarthy's bizarre reactions to the film.

Leslie Jones on Valentine's Day: Leslie Jones appeared on "Weekend Update" to discuss what she's looking for in a man: kindness, respectful, "good hair, nice skin, smells like an Israeli ... likes flowers, but doesn't send me any flowers because I don't like flowers." The list goes on and on.

Kyle Mooney vs. Kanye West: In his hopes to be taken seriously as a rapper, Kyle Mooney challenges musical guest Kanye West to a freestyle rap battle. Spoiler alert: It doesn't go well for Mooney.

Saturday Night Live will return on March 5 with host Jonah Hill and musical guest Future.
