Gerard Butler on Saturday Night Live
I don’t usually watch SNL as it airs Live, but for some reason I was WIDE awake and decided to give it a try, and boy was I glad – Gerard Butler starred with Shakira as the musical guest and it was hilarious!

Saturday Night Live: Justin Timberlake/Ciara
(S34E22) Justin Timberlake returned for his third turn as host and it was tough not to keep expectations pretty high. I mean, if an vengeful warlock were to suddenly put a crippling curse on his music career (like they do), Timberlake could definitely fall back on being a professional SNL host. Yes, this would become a real profession, just for him. As usual, some sketches fell a bit flat, but Timberlake's over-confident, hammy swagger made things a little more interesting. This particular...

It was a big weekend for Gerard Butler . His movie Law Abiding Citizen opened at number two and he hosted Saturday Night Live . Too bad both of them sucked. And now he's on notice.
