Comedy Channel, 10.30pm
A DISAPPOINTINGLY patchy episode guest-starring Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Cee Lo Green. Neither the guests nor the regulars get too much funny material to work with but at least Green's performance of a TV-friendly version of his hit F--- You is a good one. Highlights, if there are any, include Seth Meyers's Weekend Update news segment and the sketch in which Paltrow pretends to be Taylor Swift performing at a bar mitzvah. A sketch about Fox News hosts trying out a new civility policy starts out promisingly but falls flat. Bill Hader is funny enough as Bill Clinton's political strategist James Carville but Kristen Wiig makes too much of Greta van Susteren's speech impediment and Jason Sudeikis's impersonation of Glenn Beck isn't a patch on Jon Stewart's. Oh well.
