SNL and Justin Timberlake

March 31, 2012


Of the more recent seasons, one reoccurring host who I enjoy seeing on the show is Justin Timberlake. He is surprisingly great in comedy. I mean we all know he can sing, but until he was SNL, did we realize he could be funny too.

Every episode Timberlake hosts always turns out to be completely hilarious. Whenever he was on the show, I found myself laughing harder than I've ever laughed watching the more recent seasons of SNL. I think he would make a spectacular addition to the cast, even for a short length of time. This is may be a long-shot, I know, but perhaps not a bad idea.

Some of the most memorable sketches might have been those with Justin Timberlake. Just yesterday, I was talking with someone about "The Barry Gibbs Talk Show," a sketch with both Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake. The theme song of the sketch is based on The Bee Gees' "Nights On Broadway." They keep the tune and melody of the catchy tune, but replace some lyrics with funny statements as they sing "Talkin' it up.. On the late night talk show!"  Not to forget the silly, clever '-ville' sketches including Homelessville, Omletteville, Plasticville, Liqourville.. and one where he dresses up as a block of TOFU!

And who doesn't love the outrageous SNL shorts with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg? The Lonely Island songs are catchy, hilarious, and boldly strange.

This digital short is the second after "D in a Box" (2006) and it actually came out on a Mother's Day Holiday, so Happy Early Mother's Day. After the 90s style, dynamic-duo are released from are released from custody, they're out to become "Mother Lovers" (2009) in the next crazy (but hilarious) sequel.

And after leaving the mother's houses, another ridiculous story happens as shown in this music video with Lady Gaga about "The Golden Rule" (2011).

Does anyone else agree that recent SNL episodes improve with more Justin Timberlake?
