What's On Tonight (Saturday): She's read a book before and she'll actually read again

Saturday Night Live promo

You don't care about feminism. Your favorite show is Entourage! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, February 3!

Our Top Pick tonight is Saturday Night Live (NBC & Peacock, 11:30 p.m.). Is love enough? Yes it is. Also, there isn't much else on tonight. The Bear's (and Bottoms' and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem's and Clone High's and Big Mouth's) Ayo Edebiri steps up to host the 49-year-old sketch show. She really had a big moment during the actors strike with so many projects released that she couldn't promote. Returning is Jennifer Lopez for her 6th billed appearance and 5th as musical guest. Sidenote: I assume we are 1 year away from an SNL 50th special -- the 40th aired in February 2015.

Elsewhere, Jeff Dunham celebrates for Valentine's, Tanya Tucker goes to the LimitsNaruto gets rid of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hallmark does not-Austenland, and the Puppy Bowl reminisces about puppies,
