Katey Sagal, who turned up again on "Lost" last week as Terry O’Quinn’s love interest — in flashback — is hoping to return to the hit show. However, she notes, "You never know because they [LOST] are so hush-hush about what goes on there. We’ll see," says the former "Married with Children" star.

In the meantime, Sagal is hosting Nick at Nite’s "Search for the Funniest Mom in America 2," premiering tonight (4/4). "They’re stand-ups. Each one of them was found in a comedy club where they had taken whatever they think is funny about their lives and formulated it into an act," says Sagal of the 10 contestants chosen to compete in a series of comedic challenges. Five will go on to perform live in front an audience. "This is the first time I’ve done reality TV," she notes. "The only reluctance I had was that I did not want to be the voice of doom and gloom and have to be the one who says yay or nay to the women. They assured me that it was a group decision and that I was just the sound piece. So I was definitely the voice of encouragement."
