The moral of the story this week in television is that it’s way past time for Jimmy Fallon to bring the Tonight Show back to Los Angeles. Ellen DeGeneres showed up to play Password and we couldn’t even make room for it! That is the embarrassment of riches we’re dealing with here. But other shows were still on the air. Seth Meyers had Gabrielle Union on to talk about how she’s a total bro (no, but really). Jon Stewart gave anti-vaxxers a good hard spanking (sadly, no spanking would be hard enough). Broad City’s Abbi Abrams (Abbi Jacobson) discovered the horrors of grocery shopping under the influence of anesthesia. Oh, and Katy Perry turned the Super Bowl into her own personal playroom. It’s a beautiful day in the TV neighborhood!

Christina Aguilera is here now. The rest of you are excused.
Super Bowl XLIX—Katy Perry Halftime Show
There are so many potential Best Parts of this performance. The massive puppet tiger, Left Shark, dancing human beach balls, pyrotechnics, a guns-blazing appearance by Missy Elliott for seemingly no other reason that Katy Perry looks like she’s always wanted to perform with Missy Elliott—it’s like Stefon and Perry got together and hashed this one out over lots of weed. All the Katy Cats in the house say hollaaaaaa!
Saturday Night Live—The Jay Z Story
At first, we weren’t totally sold on this sketch, but by the time Jason Sudeikis showed up as Kanye West resistance became futile.
