She was also the first female former cast member to host a second time, on the 17th of March 2007.The first male former cast member to host SNL was Chevy Chase on the 18th of February 1978. He was also the first to host a second time, on the 9th of February 1980. (From the end of the 1st season in 1976 to the end of the 5th season in 1980, Chevy Chase was the ONLY former cast member. Bill Murray, the first cast member who was not part of the original cast, hosted twice in 1981.)
