Jude Law on 'Saturday Night Live': Clip Highlights (VIDEO)
Jude 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

(S35E17) 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.
CBS to stream Pearl Jam concert from Ed Sullivan Theater
I'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'
April
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.
