Justin time

Justin Bieber gets to stay up past his bedtime to host and perform on "Saturday Night Live" (10:30 p.m. Saturday, KARE, Ch. 11). If he does half as well as Justin Timberlake, Justin Long and Justin Kirk should be expecting a call from producer Lorne Michaels.

Beautiful music together

Speaking of Timberlake, his performance during "The 55th Annual Grammy Awards" (7 p.m. Sunday, WCCO, Ch. 4) promises to be one of the broadcast's highlights. Also of interest: Elton John jamming with Ed Sheeran and a threeway of Sting, Rihanna and Bruno Mars.

Let's make a deal

Tom Stuker attempts to give the reputation of car salesmen a makeover in "Car Lot Rescue" (9 p.m. Sunday, Spike), a new series that documents how the guru gives dealerships new life with his always-be-selling attitude. Fun fact: Stuker is in such demand that he is United Airlines' most frequent flier of all time.
