Life is full of disappointments, the old Lutheran church hymn goes, but nothing seems to let people down more often than Saturday Night Live. Even long time fans of the show who have been burned by stale characters, poor acting and basic unfunniness still come back every week hoping for the best but usually getting something short of that. Zach Galifianakis did his best to raise expectations last night on Late Night with jokes about walking offstage mid-show and a bizarre "skitch" in which Jimmy Fallon did not even break character. Those clips, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while listing 40 pairs of Aiaiai headphones on eBay, after the jump.
4. Tom Hanks Reflects
Five-time Oscar-nominee Tom Hanks warmed the Late Show audience up for Oscar weekend by discussing his past Academy Award losses.
3. Flying High with Ronnie and J-Woww
The last of this week's guid-homages aired last night on Lopez Tonight, with Ronnie and J-Woww joining Vera Farmiga and George Clooney for a round of Up in the Air style club card-comparison. If this doesn't get Ronnie an audition for Jason Reitman's satirical comedy about the tanning bed industry, nothing will.
