Though Jeremy Renner's turn hosting 'SNL' this past weekend may have felt somewhat uneven, many would argue that the normally-stoic 'Avengers' star still did a better job than other hosts unprepared for sketch comedy, like Daniel Craig, or even to a degree Louis C.K. And while Renner wasn't present for the Guy Fieri deleted scene that exploded in popularity yesterday, another 'SNL' deleted scene is making the rounds that might have seen Renner at his best! Check out what didn't make the cut!

NBC's buzzy musical drama 'Smash' will have quite a few critics to face in its second season, after a first season eagerly anticipated by viewers became quickly marred by absurd plot twists, and a number of poorly-received characters.  Now, with the series having undergone something of a renaissance with a modified cast and a slew of celebrity guest stars, the network has released a super-sized trailer in advance of the February 5 debut, so how would you like a first look?  Are you ready to get 'Smash'ed again?

While a number of NBC viewers still find themselves inside the darkest timeline, a world where NBC pushes 'Community' back to February, and slots 'Whitney's second season in with the network's increasingly three-camera lineup, it seems 'Guys With Kids' isn't going anywhere quite yet.  The peacock has officially ordered additional episodes of the Jimmy Fallon-produced series, though not quite for a full-season pickup.  So, how many more episodes will we see, and why isn't 'Whitney' going to be of any help?

Don't tell us you thought the final season of '30 Rock' would go by without a visit from the Beeper King, dummy.  As '30 Rock' continues its farewell tour after seven seasons, the long-running NBC meta-series has targeted a number of past guests stars to come sing swan songs, but who could be more deserving of such an honor than Liz Lemon's one-time beau Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters)?  Learn the details of the Beeper King's return inside!

The current season of 'SNL has traveled up and down the spectrum of celebrity hosts, ranging from returning greats like Anne Hathaway, to risky ventures like Daniel Craig, Bruno Mars and Louis C.K., with varying degrees of success.  This Saturday's coming installment should prove pretty solid, with upcoming 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' and 'The Avengers' star Jeremy Renner!  Will the intensely stoic Renner be able to tap his funnybone, or make 'SNL' a grim affair with Maroon 5?  Check out the promos for your answer!

Sadly, outside of the occasional Old Milwaukee commercial, occasional 'SNL' appearance, or maybe even the latest episode of 'Bitch Hunter,' we're unlikely to see Will Ferrell take any regular presence on the small screen again.  That's okay though, considering the imminent arrival of 'Anchorman 2' with director Adam McKay, and an upcoming NBC series with both behind the camera!  And hey, why not throw in a little Anne Heche for good measure?  Who's ready for 'Bad Judge?'

How many episodes will the series see, and what are NBC bosses saying?

Granted the two series aren't actually in competition, 'Community' fans grudge against 'Whitney' has just gotten even bigger.  Where once both series were scheduled to debut on Friday, October 19, NBC opted to delay the launch and fit each in at a later date.  'Whitney' quickly got placement into the failing 'Animal Practice' slot, leaving 'Community' to rot until February, so how could things get any worse?  When NBC orders even more scripts for the critically-maligned 'Whitney,' of course!

While many couples jokingly maintain a "celebrity sex list" of stars with whom it's okay to cheat on their significant other, 'Parks and Recreation's' Ben Wyatt may come to regret Leslie Knope's. The character has long been vocal about her fixation on Vice President Joe Biden, an attraction that will finally be put to the test as the current re-elected VP will guest in an upcoming episode!

As expected, last weekend's 'SNL' featuring Louis C.K. offered up an even mix of laughs and groans, some sketches falling flat while others stood as tall as Abraham Lincoln's stovepipe hat.  This weekend's newest outing will go back to basics however, as 'Les Miserables' star and Hollywood sweetheart Anne Hathaway picks up hosting duties for the third time, with musical guest Rihanna.  So what's the one thing Anne Hathaway has that Louis C.K. doesn't, as highlighted by the new promos?  Sexy, sexy hair.
