History of Rap pt 2 from Timberlake & Fallon (and The Roots)

Another awesome medley from Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake, and The Roots.

What to Watch on Saturday: Timberlake and Gaga close out SNL season

Chase (8pm, NBC) - Annie lets the team in on troubling details about her past when they take on a case that involves putting the life of her estranged father in danger. I feel like this (canceled) show will never end.

It's Me or the Dog (8pm, Animal Planet) - Victoria helps clam three hyper dogs that have caused strife between their owners. In this show's companion piece, "My Cat From Hell" (9pm), a couple are surprised to discover that the cat they're fostering is feral, and another pair deal with a cat that has extreme mood changes.

River Monsters (9pm, Discovery) - In the Australian Outback, Jeremy attempts to catch the endangered freshwater sawfish, which is said to attack boats.

Sinbad and the Minotaur (9pm, Syfy) - Sinbad (Manu Bennett) must steal a relic from a sorcerer before leading his crew in search of treasure on an island inhabited by a minotaur.

Saturday Night Live (11:29, NBC) - For the show's season finale, Justin Timberlake is the host and the music guest is Lady Gaga. Timberlake has hosted SNL four times and this will be Gaga's second appearance. When Gaga was on the show in October 2009 (with host Ryan Reynolds), she took part in several sketches. She is pictured here with Andy Samberg.

Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon perform history of hip-hop

This is great -- from last night's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

ABC's cancelled "Pushing Daisies" wins 3 Emmys

ABC's critically acclaimed (and criminally cancelled) "Pushing Daisies" won three awards this weekend at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Figures.

Also, Tina Fey won an award for her portrayal of former Governor Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," and Justin Timberlake was the first SNL host to win a guest actor in a comedy series award.

The show's host, Kathy Griffin, who has nicknamed the event "The Schmemmies," was nominated for her Bravo reality show, "My Life on the D-List." Griffin has won in this category for the past two years, but lost out this time to A&E's "Intervention."

Other big winners came from HBO, PBS, and NBC. You can read more about the full list of winners, and Griffin's over-the-top hosting shenanigans. 

The show will air on E! on September 18.

Alesana goes pop, sort of

Alesana's next album probably won't emerge until 2010, but the Raleigh screamo band still just notched a pretty impressive chart milestone. Alesana's shock-value cover of Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around... Comes Around" apears in the album-opening pole position of a new compilation called "Punk Goes Pop Volume Two" (Fearless Records), which debuts at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 this week -- 81 notches higher than Alesana appeared with its own most recent album. The band's next local show is April 29 at Cat's Cradle.

Jimmy Fallon kicks off his Late Night life

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NBC, 12:35 am 

We've said au revoir to Conan and now it's time to welcome former SNL star Jimmy Fallon back to late night. Fallon admits to being "nervous but excited" about his new gig, and has already been warming up with some amusing webisodes. But the real test begins tonight.

And get ready for some massive over-analyzing starting around 12:36. . . .
