With the year’s 28th best album and 3rd best song, The Black Keys had a fairly successful 2010. That’s of course without mentioning some kickin’ festival performances. And that Grammy nomination, too. While it remains to be seen what 2011 holds for the duo, they will get off to a fast start when they serve as the musical guests for the January 8th episode of Saturday Night Live. Jim Carrey will be the evening’s host.

SNL has one more episode before a two-week hiatus for the holidays. It’s also a must-watch, as Lil Wayne and Eminem will perform. Tron: Legacy star Jeff Bridges will host.
