Typically, Saturday Night Live is either hit or miss. Some hosts always knock it out of the park (that would be you Justin Timberlake) while others are just painful to watch (Vince Vaughn, this just isn't you thing). The most recent episode featured awkward funnyman Zach Galifianakis and viewers definitely weren't disappointed. To say he was amazing is a serious understatement. This is his second time headlining the show and he proved that he just may be the best SNL host ever. Check out his best bits.

I'll be upfront: I'm uber surprised that Kanye West is confirmed to perform on the season finale of Saturday Night Live. The rapper turned fashion designer hasn't exactly been running toward the spotlight lately. Heck, just last week rumors were flying that Yeezy wants nothing to do with reality TV despite dating its queen, Kim Kardashian.

Rumor has it that he may even participate in a skit or two! But rumor ALSO has it that West has a few rules for his time on the SNL stage -- the main one being that Kim Kardashian jokes are kept to a minimum. An NBC insider told Radar Online that he doesn't want there to be any rudeness about girlfriend Kim Kardashian or he's gonna be livid. 

Ha, we know what craziness can happen when you push Kanye's buttons. The big question, will they listen to his wishes?

OMG. If you didn't stay up until the end of Saturday Night Live last night -- then I hope you at least caught host Vince Vaughn's opening monologue.

It's tough not to swoon and get a little bit giddy after watching him come out on the SNL stage, well, because he's Vince Vaughn, and he's awesome.

Oh come on, you've had a major crush on him ever since Old School too. Go ahead and admit it.

Melissa McCarthy is the funniest woman on the planet so it was shocking to hear her tell Jimmy Fallon last week that she was "terrified" the last time she hosted "Saturday Night Live" a few seasons ago. The show was perfect and she showed everyone what SNL used to be and what it could still be. It was the best show in a long, long time.

Until now.

Last night, McCarthy hosted again and, once again, she stole the show. (Maybe they should just call it the Melissa McCarthy Show and she could be on every week?) Dennis Rodman (Kim Jong Un's BFF) and Peter Dinklage (of Game of Thrones) made cameos.

If you missed it, not to worry, here are the highlights.

It feels like it's been a million and a half years since Sarah Palin was actually relevant. (Especially now that even FOX News has no use for her!) But that didn't stop James Lipton, the long-time host of Inside the Actors Studio, from asking Tina Fey -- out promoting her new flick Admissions -- if she would do her classic impression of the former Alaska governor-turned-reality show star. Then again, that's his schtick. He loves to interview famous guests as one of their most memorable characters. And we love it, too.

Because even though it's an impression that could have gone completely stale, the current themes that flow through Tina's Palin-ized responses are so dead-on that it's all still hilaaarious. Seriously! And I would "betcha" not just to "liberal media folk" like yours truly.

Mo-o-om, Kanye West and Justin Timberlake are fighting! And Kanye started it. Not that it matters. Kanye and JT seem to be having themselves a little feud, and on the scale of stupid and petty it ranks right up there with every argument your kids have ever had over who got the most cookies and who's turn it is to play with the Wii.

Kanye threw the first punch in an unhinged rant at a concert a couple weeks ago. "I got love for Hov, but I ain't f--king with that Suit and Tie," he said. (Hov is Kanye' buddy and Timberlake collaborator Jay-Z). We would have loved it if JT had been the bigger man and just ignored Kanye. But on SNL this weekend Justin Timberlake dissed Kanye right back.

Justin Timberlake hosted SNL last night, and oh what a show it was. It was his fifth time in the gig, putting him in the hallowed Five-Timers Club, and the stars came out to welcome him into it, which he called "the most exclusive club in New York".

It was hard to keep up in the opening scene as Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, and Chevy Chase popped up. There was also Paul Simon and Steve Martin, who said, "I always thought if an 'NSYNC member made the Five-Timbers Club, it would be Joey Fatone." Also making appearances were Candice Bergen, Dan Aykroyd, and Martin Short. It was a blur of comedic legends.

As much as Americans are torn on the politics and pop culture of the day, I'm sure there's one thing we can agree on: Saturday Night Live is no longer in its hey day. That said, there are some performers who can walk onto the NBC set of the late-night comedy show to host and turn at least one show into a talker we'll be giggling about for days. One of those hosts is without question Justin Timberlake, who is about to make his fifth appearance as host tonight! Whee!

The five-peat will place him in the ranks of Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Tom Hanks, aka the honorary Five-Timers Club. He's by far the youngest -- but undoubtedly deserves the honor. Because, hello, SNL is just aaaalways better with a little JT. Especially when its JT in the skits and on the musical guest stage! Whoo hoo!

Without further ado, then, I bring you his promos, which make a seriously funny case for tuning in tonight.
