(CNN) -- We get it: Multitasking over the weekend is hard. Only the truly skilled (and sober) can watch every viral cat video on the Internet while binge-watching "Gilmore Girls" on Netflix.


But coming into the office on Monday unprepared to chat about the Google exec's fall from space? Not an option.

Jim Carrey hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the third time. Reviews of his performance were mixed, but there's no doubt he led some hilarious scenes.
