The minute we heard Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg was going to host Saturday Night Live, we knew a Mark Zuckerberg sketch was in his future -- but did anyone think the Social Network star would come face-to-face with Zuckerberg? Both of them?

The Oscar nominee's opening monologue included appearances from the show's resident "Zuckerberg" (Andy Samberg) and the Facebook co-founder himself. Check out the awkwardness (including painful acting) above.

Saturday Night Live is ringing 2011 in strong.

The video above features a Black Swan spoof that was definitely one of Carrey’s shining moments on the show.

UPDATE: Cee Lo has confirmed that he has recorded a new version of "F**k You" with Paltrow.

Late last month, singer Cee Lo Green teased that he and Gwyneth Paltrow -- who covered his song "Forget You" on an episode of Glee -- would collaborate on something "extra cool" in the future. Now, we have a better idea what that "surprise" is.

One day after (sorta) confirming a duet to Good Morning America's Robin Roberts (see the video above), it was officially announced that Gwyneth and Cee Lo would both be appearing on the January 15 broadcast of Saturday Night Live. (Their visits will come one week after Jim Carrey and The Black Keys share that NBC stage.)

Is it safe to say a joint musical number between Paltrow and Green is a foregone conclusion?

BTW -- if you want a preview of what Gwyneth's singing could look like that night, check out her musical performance on yesterday's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Oscar winner Jeff Bridges was fearless during his weekend stint on Saturday Night Live. Although he didn’t absolutely shine in every single skit (the “gift-wrapping” bit was tepid at best), he was brilliant as the star of Jeff’d.

In the skit above, Bridges does his hilarious take on Punk’d -- without the Ashton Kutcher exuberance or a true prankster’s mean streak. The results are comedy gold.
