Look what you made her do

Comic Tiffany Haddish's fast track to the top includes her first stint as host of "Saturday Night Live," with musical guest Taylor Swift, who knows a thing or two about basking in the spotlight. Extra credit if the singer tops Miley Cyrus, who brought her steady, Liam Hemsworth, on the show last week, by filling the stage with ex-boyfriends.

10:30 p.m. Saturday, KARE, Ch. 11

Sticking it to them

I don't buy for a nanosecond that Shepard Fairey is a genuine artist, but the documentary "Obey Giant" makes the case that the celebrated vandal is at least an intriguing rascal, risking arrest and ridicule as he plasters Andre the Giant stickers across major cities. Director James Moll leaves it up to viewers to decide if the scamp deserves accolades or a spanking.
