Christoph Waltz hosts 'SNL': What's the verdict?

Christoph Waltz is an award-winning actor and a nominee at this weekend's Oscar ceremony, but all of that talent couldn't guarantee that he'd be a standout host of "Saturday Night Live."

As it turns out, when the "Django Unchained" star took over the hosting spot for the first time this weekend, he once again proved himself to be a strong supporting player, even if his overall appearance was hit or miss.

Strong start for Kimmel in new timeslot

Jimmy Kimmel's surely hoping that this is a sign of things to come.

The late night host is off to a solid start in his new 11:35 p.m. timeslot. On Tuesday night, his debut in that competitive hour, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" saw its second largest audience with 3.1 million viewers tuning in, according to ABC.

In terms of total viewers, Leno narrowly edged out Kimmel with 3.27 million watching "The Tonight Show." Letterman's "Late Show," over on CBS, brought in 2.88 million.
