In the hours before Hurricane Sandy arrived, Jimmy Fallon took to the deserted streets of Manhattan to open his show, which tapes live in New York City. After doing the open, he headed back into the theater to do his show without an audience. It was pretty weird to watch.

Our thoughts are with those affected by this terrible tragedy.

We don’t usually post highlights from Saturday Night Live here at the site. However, in the case of last night’s season finale with host Justin Timberlake and musical guest Lady Gaga, the footage is just too funny to pass up.

Obviously, others agree as the finale scored the best ratings for the show in seven years, Plus, we got another in the series of digital shorts with Timberlake and Andy Samberg, which started several years go with Dick in a Box, then Motherlover and now with last night’s new one: 3-Way.

The new short also features Lady Gaga and goes a long way to explain the rules, well at least the “Golden Rule”, when it comes to a threesome. Yes, that means exactly what you think it means.

Okay, enough talk. Click through to check out highlights from the show. Great job SNL.

He may never play Superman or Captain Marvel, but Robert Smigel and the gang at Saturday Night Live finally got Jon Hamm to portray one of America’s most treasured superheroes: Ace of the Ambiguously Gay Duo.

This past week marked a special episode of SNL, as Robert Smigel’s “Saturday TV Funhouse” presented the first ever live-action episode of The Ambiguously Gay Duo, a cartoon short that started in 1996.

Originally voiced by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrel, the short made sure to give parts to the original cast, as well as guest host Ed Helms and Jimmy Fallon, who played Ace’s partner (in crime) Gary.

We won’t make you wait any more for this epicness, but if you’re looking for some hardcore superhero action this summer, look no further than the special short after the jump.

One of the great things about producing a series for the web is that quite often, you get to do a project that has tremendous geek-appeal, yet whose economics are such it would never make it to television or the movies. Felicia Day is living that dream as the star of a new six-episode web-series based on Bioware’s successful Dragon Age video game.

Felicia day is, of course, already well-known to video game fans as the creative force behind The Guild web series, a hilarious sit-com now in its fifth season. The web-series follows a group of players of a fictitious MMORPG (largely based on WoW) and focuses on both their in-game and out-of-game hi jinx.

Felicia is reportedly writing, producing, directing and starring in the new series as sexy elven assassin, “Tallis.” The events take place around the same time period as Bioware’s forthcoming sequel, Dragon Age II. Fans of the original game can look forward to a demo of Dragon Age II on February 22 for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 as well as a PC-version. The game will be available in stores in North America on March 8, 2011 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 console, PC and Mac.

Though NBC has been the subject of ridicule due to what is now being dubbed as “The Tonight Show Conundrum”, that doesn’t seem to have phased them as they are ramping up the upcoming awards season with two new hosts.

Last week, the network announced that Ricky Gervais will be returning to host this year’s Golden Globes, making it his second year in a row as the host. On the heels of that announcement, NBC has also named Jimmy Fallon as the host of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards. From Live Feed:

“Jimmy was the natural choice as one of the most promising and likable young entertainers who will now have the chance to display his many talents on television’s biggest night,” said Paul Telegdy, executive vp of alternative at NBC. “His proven skills as a comedian and host — as well as his openness to new ideas — will fully engage audiences and ultimately deliver a lively Emmy telecast.”

Added executive producer Don Mischer: “Jimmy has many talents. He can sing, he can dance, he does impersonations, and he does it gracefully and with ease. I think he’ll make a terrific host and we are really looking forward to working with him.”
