Something like this should work:


$.ajax({
  url: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF5i6QXgR8c&feature=g-vrec&context=G24e6571RVAAAAAAAAAQ&alt=json",
  dataType: "jsonp",
  success: function (data) {
    var title = data.entry.title.$t;
    var description = data.entry.media$group.media$description.$t;
  }
});

Hope it helps
