Saturday Night Live, Jude LawJude Law took time out from his busy Broadway and film schedule to host 'Saturday Night Live.' The show covered his 'Hamlet' audition, ex-congressman Massa's groping debacle, and the game show 'Secret Word.' And Jerry Seinfeld helped out Seth Meyers with a 'Really?' segment.

Whoopi Goldberg stopped by Weekend Update to talk about being the spokesperson for Poise pads, and Andy Samberg and Julian Casablancas teamed up for 'Boombox.'

'Saturday Night Live' - 'Jude Law/Pearl Jam' Recap

Congratulations, Jude Law. That was a solid episode all around and a fine return to the 'Saturday Night Live' stage. And despite the fact that Pearl Jam was virtually unrecognizable to any ears that haven't heard them since the early-'90s, at least Law's musical guest didn't have any reason to do an awkward hoedown during a career-crippling blunder.

Cold Open: Of course they had to talk about this. Of course. Now, if you haven't read up on the incredibly weird Eric Massa story, it probably would have seemed like 'SNL' was just making up most of it. Unfortunately, they weren't. Maybe that's why they felt that ridiculously long intro was necessary? Anyway, the treatment of this topic was all right, though the absolute best part was Bobby Moynihan as Massa, attempting stealth snorkeling on Andy Samberg (the weak distraction was especially nice). And no, sorry, you can't unsee it.

Zach Galifianakis and Jude Law to Host 'SNL'

by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 25th 2010 1:02PM
Even though a lot of people put down 'Saturday Night Live' (and yes it's probably not as great as years gone by), hosting the show is still a pretty big deal. The show gets a lot of viewers and watercooler talk (and by watercooler talk I mean comments on the web), it's a good push for the first weekend of a new movie opening, and it gives fans of various celebrities a chance to see them do something different.

The two latest hosts to be named are Zach Galifianakis and Jude Law. Galifianakis will host on March 6 (with musical guest Vampire Weekend), and Law will host on March 13 (with Pearl Jam).

Let's not forget what happened the last time Law hosted the show.

Cold Case: The Long Blue Line - open thread

by Bob Sassone, posted May 4th 2009 10:09AM
Cold Case

This was the season finale the next-to-last episode Cold Case for the season, but next week could be the series finale. We'll find out at CBS' upfront presentation in a couple of weeks. But if it does serve as the series finale, at least you had the music of Pearl Jam to play it out! I always think it's weird when the show has a cold case from three or four years ago. That's not cold, that's slightly nippy. But I guess Nippy Case would have been an entirely different type of show.

David Cross opening for Pearl Jam

david crossDavid Cross, brilliant (and sometimes extremely foul) comedian and former co-star of Arrested Development is giving a special performance for charity in Portland, Oregon. I'm not sure my reasons for posting this: either I'm really excited about it or I'm gloating. Either way, he's opening for Pearl Jam at this event in Portland on Thursday, July 20th.

Tickets are $75 a piece. They go on sale at 10 am PT in case you're in the neighborhood. No, I'm not involved. I just think it'll be a terrific show.

Music videos find life elsewhere

by Adam Finley, posted May 22nd 2006 9:03AM
eddie vedderPearl Jam is making one of their videos available online under the Creative Commons license. Why do I care about Pearl Jam doing this? Well, I don't actually, but it got me thinking about music videos and how they've found a new life online and in DVD form, as television has all but eradicated them. While many networks and channels are moving online with broadband content while still remaining secured to TV, these days you can't really see a video from your favorite band unless you go online, or buy a number of DVD collections dedicated to certain video directors like Michael Gondry and Spike Jonze, among others. The thing is, videos haven't gotten worse, in fact, they've gotten much better, I think, and while the idea of sitting through three whole minutes of song might cause the programmers at MTV to gasp in horror, I'm glad to see bands are still making videos, and making them easily accessible to fans and anyone else who wants to check them out. The Web can be a place not only for networks to try out online-only content and rerun old shows, it can also be a place where ideas no longer suited to television can still find an audience.

CBS to stream Pearl Jam concert from Ed Sullivan Theater

by Adam Finley, posted May 2nd 2006 9:26AM
eddie vedderI've never liked nor disliked Pearl Jam, I've always been indifferent. I do give the band credit, though, for embracing its fanbase and keeping on even after the grunge explosion finally fizzled out and the sound of which they were originally a part of was no longer the hip new blip on the mainstream radar. Lately, though, the band seems to be warming up to the spotlight again, given their recent apperance on SNL and a scheduled apperance on The Late Show with David Letterman this Thursday. If you catch the show, you'll hear the usual one song a band performs, but if you want a bit more Pearl Jammy goodness, CBS will be streaming a full concert by the band from the Ed Sullivan Theater on the Late Show Web site which will follow the taping of their appearance. The online concert will start at 5:55 p.m. EST. You can expect to hear songs off the new album, as well as some older material.

The Five: Reasons to not turn off TV during 'TV Turnoff Week'

by Richard Keller, posted Apr 24th 2006 11:17AM

Don't turn off the TV during TV-Turnoff WeekApril 24th begins the annual "TV Turnoff Week". For seven days we are to turn off the boob tube and focus on other activities inside and outside our home. For instance, talking to the other members of our family or walking out the front door into that space full of yellow light and green grass. I think we call that the outdoors.

Of course, the purpose of "TV Turnoff Week" is the total opposite of what we do here at TV Squad, which is, um, report on television. So, as a public service to you we present this special episode of The Five: Reasons to not turn off TV during 'TV Turnoff Week'.

You can post comments on TV Squad articles:  We love your comments, even when you say we're messengers of Satan because some of us don't like Pearl Jam. However, if you don't turn the TV on, you're not going to be able to comment on any of the shows that we review. That will make all of us sad, and probably make our bosses even sadder. We'll end up losing our jobs, which will have a domino effect for all of our other blogging sites. Of course, that will cause AOL to go out of business, and the Internet will probably collapse unto itself. Dogs and cats will fight, cows will stop giving milk, and, yadda yadda yadda. We'll eventually be beating each other over the heads with clubs in order to grab the carcass of a dead brontosaurus.

Saturday Night Live: Lindsay Lohan and Pearl Jam

by Jonathan Toomey, posted Apr 16th 2006 7:03PM

SNL; NBC; Lindsay Lohan; Eddie Vedder; Pearl Jam(S31E16) Not too shabby. For her third SNL hosting gig, Lindsay Lohan wasn't all that bad. I did find it odd that she's doing SNL again so soon though. Especially after that big hoopla about the Vanity Fair article a few months ago. But her arms did look much plumper this time around. Besides, she has a new movie coming out and I would assume that she and Tina Fey have a good relationship. So I guess it does makes sense that she would be doing SNL again so soon. See that? I answer my own questions.

The Situation Room - It seems like we've officially reached the point where every single cold open that SNL does is going to be a take-off of one of the many political pundit shows from across the cable universe. I'm fine with that. I'm just saying that I can't remember the last time a cold open that wasn't Hardball, or Anderson Cooper, or this. I suppose it makes sense though when the government is giving out plenty of material to spin into a sketch. Might as well use it. This was funny. Wolf (Chris Parnell) had numerous guests commenting about the recent news that White House Chief of Staff Andy Card had resigned (well, I guess it's not that recent). It seems everyone they interviewed, who now worked for the President, had come from a temp agency. I loved it when Kristen Wiig (she's the new Resident Iran Expert) asked to have her time card initialed.
