Good news, Saturday Night Live fans! If the season premiere this Saturday night is as funny as the newly released promos featuring host Amy Poehler and Andy Samberg, then it will be pretty funny. Hilarious even. Click ahead to watch the Parks & Recreation plug The Town for no reason whatsoever, while simultaneously calling Katy Perry a "hooha." She must have seen her Sesame Street appearance too.

As exaggerated and inside baseball as it is, this new animated video imagining a job interview between Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner (can you see the resemblance?) and a prospective female writing-staffer is probably the funniest thing I'll see all day -- at least until Next Media Animation delivers its own version of the Weiner mythology, anyway.

Big news on the Conan O'Brien front: Tickets are finally available for the first week of Coco's new show Conan (yes, we're all still disappointed by the title). To celebrate this momentous occasion, TBS has released a new promo featuring an old man, a young stripper and a John Waite classic. Oh, plus Conan's patented string-cutting dance. Check out the not-so-scandalous clip below.

Further proof that Betty White will literally do anything (and that the Internet will love her for it anyway): The You Again star -- who will also be seen this week on the season premiere of Community -- has her own clothing line. (Yep, this is real.) White partnered up with HoodieBuddie.com for the merchandise (proceeds go to the Morris Animal Foundation) and, naturally, a viral video has been released trumpeting this marriage. Have you ever wanted to see White refer to her breasts as the "Golden Girls"? Then click ahead to watch.

There are things that I can be counted on to ALWAYS blog about: Christina Hendricks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marvel superheroes, and, of course, adorable children re-enacting movie trailers. The funsters at Makerbakers have re-made the Inception trailer with the aid of their kids along with some legos, a Jenga set, some bound G.I. Joes, and most crucially, Marion Cotillard recast as a beagle.

It's Friday, so what the hell: A tornado struck Brooklyn, N.Y., during rush hour yesterday, knocking down trees, destroying property and making many bro-happy residents feel like they were living in the unofficial sequel to Twister. Seriously, bro. Ahead, watch the NSFW reactions of a group of bros in a tornado. Smirnoff Ice not included.

In anticipation of the new book, The Making of The Empire Strikes Back (out October 12), Lucasfilm has done one of the things that Lucasfilm does best -- create a trailer. Even when it comes to the more questionable chapters of the Star Wars saga, the trailers are fantastic, so why not release a trailer for the "making of" book celebrating the greatest chapter of them all, Empire?

Move over, freakishly consistent Ken Jennings. On Jeopardy! last night, mild-mannered Roger Craig toppled Jennings' single-day earnings record of $75,000 with $77,000 in winnings. What, what! The 33-year-old graduate student locked down the record when he knew "the inspiration for this title object in a novel and a 1957 movie actually spanned the Mae Khlung River," was The Bridge on the River Kwai. Of course the two-day champion still has 72 more days to go before besting Jennings' overall winning streak, but fingers crossed. After the jump watch his completely benign celebration.

The Disney Channel is taking a break from showing Jonas Brothers flossing and "That's So Raven" reruns to air a quick sneak peek at some additional scenes from Tron: Legacy. I would say it's only about a third of stuff you haven't already seen in the trailer, but still! It's all glowy and cool and computery and stuff. And isn't that what we really want in our Tron?

It's the guilty pleasure you won't admit you've been waiting for! After almost two months of teasing, CBS has finally released the first evidence of Justin Bieber actually acting on the season premiere of CSI. If you'll remember, the network initially described Bieber's role as that of "a troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother -- a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs." And how!

OMGlee, you guys. In two short weeks, Glee will return to the airwaves with its much-anticipated second season and bring with it a whole new slew of Gleegasms (and other Glee-related wordplay). An earlier promo teased a couple of upcoming moments -- like the cast singing "Empire State of Mind" while dancing with choreography straight out of Ferris Bueller's Day Off -- but this new clip from the season premiere offers fans a chance to see something previously unseen: Jane Lynch saddled with subpar material.

In case you haven't been to the zoo lately, this new clip from Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps should save you a trip to the gorilla house. Michael Douglas takes Josh Brolin to task for some of his shadier business practices and the whole thing turns into a dick measuring contest. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps opens on September 24, and based on the clip, I'd say it's going to 60% he-man posturing, 35% financial gobbledygook, and 5% Shia LaBeouf looking awkwardly on like a confused young doe.
