Saturday Night Live 11:30 p.m., Channel 7

Justin Timberlake puts in his third stint as host of the show, but this time he won't double as the musical guest. That job belongs to Ciara. Timberlake, who has also appeared in a number of "SNL" cameos, always throws himself into this gig. He's as close as "SNL" comes to a sure bet.

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Tomorrow at 8 p.m., HBO

I've grown fond of this light crime series, which finishes up its quick first season tomorrow night. It's not must-see HBO, but the mysteries are quaint, the Botswana backdrop is extraordinary, and Jill Scott has created a lovely character from the novels by Alexander McCall Smith.

Live From Abbey Road 8 p.m., Sundance Channel

Bryan Adams. What a difference a "B" makes.

Nanny 911 8 p.m., CMT

Help for a mother with five kids. She needs eggroll, stat.

Dude, Jorge Garcia makes an order.

River Monsters Tomorrow at 10 p.m., Animal Planet

Flesh-eating fish. They call it "Peoplemaki."

A White party.
