Better late than not at all...
Vulture offers its choices for the 10 best sketches from this past season of Saturday Night Live; I only disagreed with one of them.
This week's time-lapse: Dubai. (Vimeo)
Jimmy Kimmel continues The Baby Bachelor.

And finally this week, I've mentioned comedian Patton Oswalt a couple of times. He's posted a long and very thoughtful essay on his personal website that touches on a number of topics that are pertinent to his particular line of work, but reflect back on the rest of us as well. And not surprisingly, he's as adept with the written word as he is onstage. Not everyone will be interested in reading this sort of thing, but I promise it's worth your time. (The A.V. Club)
