Forget sexy, in his third trip to Studio 8H, Justin Timberlake brought something far more important back to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE: The Funny (with a little help from friends, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson.) All of whom can be seen after the jump.

DOLLHOUSE (9PM FOX, Global in Canada)
Just as DOLLHOUSE starts to get really interesting, along comes the first season finale; Putting a swift end to Ballard’s investigation, Alpha’s obsession with Echo and worst of all, one of the Actives — who as it turns out — is about to become de-active, and fast. Gulp!
REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER (10PM HBO)
How does Seth MacFarlane, television’s most prolific writer/ producer/ voice artist/ millionaire playboy/ hulu pitchman unwind at the end of a busy week? By sitting down with Bill Maher to promote FAMILY GUY, AMERICAN DAD and THE CLEVELAND SHOW of course.

You Be the Critic: PARKS AND RECREATION, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SOUTHLAND, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, UGLY BETTY & GREY’S ANATOMY
Since everybody seems to be itching to discuss last night’s slew of must see TV, this TV Addict thought he’d once again ask you to do your best Ken Tucker impersonation by being the critic and posting your spoiler-free (since I have yet to watch anything outside of what might have been the least funny episode of THE OFFICE ever) thoughts on last night’s installments of PARKS AND RECREATION, THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, SOUTHLAND, SUPERNATURAL, SMALLVILLE, UGLY BETTY, and GREY’S ANATOMY.
Got a Question for LOST’s Michael Emerson?
Ever wonder what it would be like to go mano-a-mano with one Benjamin Linus? Sit him down, look deep into those buggy eyes and ask, “Seriously dude, what’s the deal?” Well, now is kind of your chance, as your very own TV Addict, in very Dharma-like fashion has been given the fantastic opportunity to grill actor Michael Emerson for precisely five minutes this afternoon, starting at precisely 3:46PM (est).
And to ensure I’m armed with the three best possible questions (as I suspect that is all I will have the opportunity to get in), this TV Addict thought it best to ask you, my far more knowledgeable LOST addicts to post away with your most pressing questions as we head into what promises to be Wednesday’s exhilarating game-changer of a finale.
Good News, Bad News: VIRTUALITY, Rachel Dratch & the CW Fall Sked
Good News: Fans will get a first taste of Ronald D. Moore’s much buzzed about two-hour pilot VIRTUALITY when FOX unveils it on July 4th. Bad News: Fan’s first taste will also most likely be their last, considering it’s rarely a good sign when a network decides to dump premiere a series on the one night of the year when most of the country is pretty much guaranteed to be outside, hot dog in hand, celebrating America’s birth. We’re just sayin’ [Source]
Good News: The always hilarious Rachel Dratch returned to television this week. Bad News: Cementing her status as the female Rodney Dangerfield, playing second banana yet again to fellow SNL alum Amy Poehler in a LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON sketch. [Video]
Good News: The CW’s fall sked is shaping up rather nicely, with the rumor du jour calling THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE (Misha Barton’s MODELS INC re-boot), MELROSE PLACE and VAMPIRE DIARIES (or as we’re calling it, TWILIGHT: The Series) virtual locks for the fall. Bad News: For some of our TV Addict favorites, with no mention being made of the new Jason Dohring/ Minka Kelly/ Brian Austin Green vehicle THE BODY POLITIC and the Brittany Snow/ Krysten Ritter/ Ryan Hansen GOSSIP GIRL spin-off.
