Justin Timberlake has joined the list of repeat-hosts who always lift Saturday Night Live to a higher level of enjoyment. Timberlake's ability to be the coolest guy in the room without trying and without making all other guys hate him for it, is an extremely rare talent. Equally refreshing is seeing a star of his magnitude not afraid to make fun of himself, an ability that paved the way for this grainy sketch.
Timberlake was all over the show on Saturday night, singing and acting in everything from current recurring sketches (in drag as "Peg," he perked up Kristen Wiig's Target store bit) to musical numbers (playing keyboards during Ciara's performance of "Sex Love Magic"), and reviving oldies (he and Jimmy Fallon popped up for another episode of "The Barry Gibb Talk Show").
The talk of the town was when Timberlake and Andy Samberg did a Mother's Day-themed sequel to their "D--- In A Box" digital short. This skit once again managed to make vulgarity witty, as their dorky-hipster characters hymned mothers they'd like to -- well I think you know. This was one for the MILF's in the SNL audience, complete with cameos by Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson as Mothers.
Timberlake also had time in the show to admit to sleeping with ex-girlfriend Britney Spears. During one of the comedy sketches, the 28-year-old Sexyback singer poked fun at himself by playing a fictitious ancestor of his, a immigrant Cornelius Timberlake. He predicted the future saying, “I’d like to think that at first, he’ll date a popular female singer (Spears). Publicly, they’ll claim to be virgins. But privately, he hit it. ” He continued joking: “Then, he’ll make love with women so beautiful and so often that it won’t be enough for him and he’ll, I don’t know, try some stuff with guys. I mean, he’ll be straight! Forget that part! Everything is true except that part!” Finally" saying, "I dream of a day when my great-great-grandson will bring sexy back."
