The most recent SNL Digital Short was an excellent Twilight parody.  Along with their FOX News skit, Penelope returned! and Taylor Swift’s security-aided (to keep Kanye out) musical (lalala) monologue, it was actually a decent SNL last night.

Thanks internets! From last week’s “Top Chef” where Padma Lakshmi and guest judge Natalie Portman drop their fair share of fellatio double entendres in 40-seconds. [via]

In case you missed it because you fell asleep while watching the season two premiere of Castle. Not admitting that happened to me, of course, but obviously it’s been known to happen. Is it hot in here? It feels really hot. I’m just going. To. Step. Aside.

It’s been a long, eventful three weeks since Jon Stewart last graced us with his ascerbic wit.  Joe Wilson’s outburst and Glenn Beck’s Million (not so much) Unbalanced Angry White Man March were all the more troubling without him. [via]

I won’t give away too much from the clip above, but for regular watchers of the show (I reluctantly admit I am somehow still one of them), it looks like the writers are asking you to believe that Dr. George O’Malley, last seen smashed from walking into a bus or something and writing “007″ into Meredith Grey’s hand, isn’t really the pulpy dead guy in the hospital.

 

“That’s not George,” says Dr. Grey (there seems to be a weird discrepency with how season five ended and season six begins; or it could be my shoddy memory). “Look at his feet! Look how tall he is!”  So maybe he’s alive!  I don’t know!  It’s all so confusing! 

Based on the clip that Vulture got their hands on, it looks like I might not be watching for much longer.

He can’t live with it, can’t live without it. But honestly, we all know where he’s coming from; I often hulk out like this on the weekends before I’ve had coffee.

What would we do without the unintentional reality show comedy tour?

Well, you’ve got William Shatner reciting Sarah Palin’s resignation speech as spoken word poetry on last night’s Tonight Show.  What more do you really need to hear to watch the clip above?  Nothing.  Well, okay maybe monkeys on rollerskates, but you can’t get everything you want.

Um so this happened. Yay! for you guys. Gotta love that Mike Huckabee dropped a Russell Simmons reference. Hey Mike, Simmons was a producer and founder of Def Jam, he didn’t actually lay down ryhmes.

Yowzas. Not only did Mark-Paul Gosselaar show up as Zack Morris but he sign on for Jimmy Fallon’s Saved By the Bell reunion. The dude also dropped the old Zack Attack hit “Friends Forever” with The Roots. And he made mention of the show beginning in Indiana and then moving to California before calling time out. My head just exploded. Thanks internet.

One giant super time wasting site. Glad to see Conan bringing this gag with him, now if we can just get him to bring the pooping robot or the masturbating bear we can destroy the fabric of television and everyone that says Conan’s humor doesn’t translate from 12:30 to 11:30. Whatever that means.

For the 34th season finale, Will Ferrell reprises his role as flustered Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.

Sean Connery (Darrell Hammond), Kathie Lee-Gifford (Kristen Wiig), along with special guest star Tom Hanks (Tom Hanks) terrorize Trebek.  Norm MacDonald appears as Burt Reynolds.

Hanks proves once again why the man needs to do more screwball comedies.  It’s something he’s clearly gifted at and we’ll never be sure why he just stopped making them.

Nine-year-old Yuto Miyazawa tears up the Ellen DeGeneres show with his rendition of Ozzy’s “Crazy Train.”  Again, this little dude is nine and he absolutely nails the guitar part here.  The singing, not so much.  But who cares?  Listen to that sick guitar.

I won’t ruin the ending because it’s as touching as the ending to Steel Magnolias or My Girl or Braveheart. I want to make another joke, but that would sorta ruin the ending.  Maybe in the comments.
