This week on 30 Rock, an eccentric friend of Jack's took a shine to Liz, Tracy feared patricide, and Kenneth's family was terrorized by angry pigs (had to throw that one in there). Read on for the full recap.
OK, now this was a funny episode, and I don't know how I'll be able to list and do all the best lines justice. The A-story set-up was this: A super-wealthy friend of Jack's, Gavin Volure (guest-star Steve Martin), hosts a dinner party attended by a hand-chosen selection of worlds. Including art-collecting and yelling. (Hi, John McEnroe!) Gavin comes off as an eccentric sort, apparently confined to his home by agoraphobia, and overly concerned by germs. But somewhere in that, Liz sees her chance ...

Cheers to Saturday Night Live for pulling out all the stops with its first post-strike episode. Fred Armisen's Barack Obama impression was surprisingly subtle: The hardest part, Armisen tells TV Guide exclusively, was "figuring out the volume of his voice. It seems to be a combination of loud and not so loud at the same time. Even when he is being emotional, there is a calmness to him." SNL scored big with delightful cameos from Obama Girl, Steve Martin and Gov. Mike Huckabee (whose future may not lie in the White House but at the Chuckle Hut). Plus, the Annuale commercial parody was an instant classic, and Bill Hader's spoof of Daniel Day-Lewis was dead-on. And how cool was it to see Tina "Bitch is the New Black" Fey return to the real 30 Rock, but this time as guest host? Welcome back, Tina and SNL!Related: Saturday Night Live's Ratings?

According to the Associated Press, over the weekend Steve Martin took his second wife, this one former New Yorker writer Anne Stringfield. And just to prove that he was taking his vows seriously, he spoke them to his betrothed while wearing an Inspector Clouseau moustache. OK, so the face fuzz was for a Pink Panther sequel, not for the nuptials. It's still gonna make for some pretty goofy wedding pics. Martin's best man was Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels. Presiding over the nuptials was former Nebraska senator Bob Kerrey. Nowhere in sight were his ex-wife, L.A. Story leading lady Victoria Tennant, or ex-girlfriend Anne Heche. In other wedding news, People reports that Usher "changed his mind" about marrying babymama Tameka Foster on Saturday, and called the whole thing off. The reason? Try reasons. A source tells the mag that not only is the R&B sex symbol's mother against his marriage to the older woman (Foster is nine years Usher's senior), but the bride wanted a ...
