Sorry, Al Roker, but can you get sick more often?
Scarlett Johansson, who visited the show to promote her new film Hitchcock, filled in for the Today weatherman Tuesday morning as Roker battled laryngitis. The Avengers star was quick to volunteer to replace him, noting "I have a lot of experience with weather. This is my dream come true."

Jeremy Renner, Kenan Thompson
Thanks to hits like The Avengers, Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol and The Bourne Legacy, 2012 saw Jeremy Renner catapult from Oscar nominee and rising star to bona fide action star. So it's only fitting that for his first time hosting Saturday Night Live, the show put his leading man skills to very good use.
In a spoof of The Avengers, Renner reprises his role as Hawkeye. But this time there's a slight problem — he's used up all of his 11 arrows already. Luckily, the Hulk finds another way for Hawkeye to help battle the aliens without having to sit this one out. Now if we could only find Thor a...

FX is known mostly for its original series, from Sons of Anarchy and Justified to Louie and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But as much as 80 percent of the cable network's schedule is still devoted to theatrical movies — which is why FX execs have been on a blockbuster buying spree again this summer.
FX has landed the lion's share of this summer's box office No. 1 films, ultimately plopping at least $200 million for movies such as The Avengers, Men in Black 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man. Most recently, FX picked up the rights to last weekend's No. 1 film, The Bourne Legacy.
