Justin Timberlake followed up his fifth time hosting SNL last weekend by spending the entire week as a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In the above video, Timberlake and Fallon reminisce about some of the week's highlights, and we've collected all the best clips from Timberlake's week on Late Night in case you missed them:
Fresh off of hosting SNL, Justin Timberlake is spending an entire week as a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to continue to promote his new album, and he did his first one while on a lot of cough medicine:
Here's all of this week's SNL promos, with host/musical guest Justin Timberlake being joined by veteran castmember Kenan Thompson for a bunch of silly bits. Towards the end of the clip, Timberlake finally reveals how he stays so busy: cloning. He then proceeds to introduce us to a bunch of Timberlake clones, each one more charming and smiley than the next. Sadly, the Timberlake clone who invested in Myspace.com does not make an appearance.
Look at these two horsing around. GQ's Men of the Year Issue includes Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake, "the two most thrilled-to-be-alive, irony-free, super-duper shamelessly happy men on the planet," and the interview is about as fun as should be expected from that description. Here's their response to the standard "why are you both so excited and happy all the time" question:
Jimmy Fallon: There's something so fun about taking that risk and doing live stuff. I think we both have that in our DNA. So we're like "Let's go, man. Is this going to be good? I don't know. But we're about to go live in like [...]
Here's a clip from Dan Levy's new standup album Congrats on Your Success (out today!) set to animation. In it, our hero recounts an experience in which he ran into Justin Timberlake at the gym and attempted to strike up a conversation with him. It is great, and not just because I am pretty sure I would be even more awkward if I ever tried to talk to JT.
Here's a sketch from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, the fourth night in Justin Timberlake's one-week residency at the show, which concludes tonight – unless Timberlake just wants to hang out on this show every night from now on.
I don't think anyone is as big a fan of SNL as SNL itself. At every opportunity, Lorne Michaels reminds us of his show's elite status and cultural impact, whether in a tongue-in-cheek backstage bit with Paul Simon and a scotch, or in a more sincere soundbite from one of those now-dime-a-dozen behind-the-scenes specials NBC rolls out on Sunday nights. I can't really blame Lorne for perpetuating this "SNL dynasty" mystique; admittedly I find the show's history fascinating, and I believe the man has earned enough ego to occasionally place his show on a pedestal, especially by coyly likening it to a vain gentleman's club. SNL can get away with its [...]
One of the most popular recurring SNL hosts of recent years is returning to the show next month. Justin Timberlake, who's previously served as SNL host four times, is set to do it again on March 9th (and also double as musical guest), joining the show's esteemed Five-Timers Club. Timberlake will be spending a lot of time in 30 Rock this March, as he's also appearing as a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for an entire week (March 11-15th) following his SNL episode. This is all to promote his new album The 20/20 Experience, which comes out on March 19th and features the hit single "Suit & Tie." [...]
Get out your notebook and your ruler and your binder (no, Mom, the kind with the folder that comes in it. The bendy kind. I don't know, 1 inch?), cause we're about to get SCHOOLED. What's that? You thought school was out? Well, it isn't. And I don't know why you would think that, because it is October, which is clearly right in the middle of the fall term. Stop being difficult, all right? Just listen to Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake rap together.
There's no denying the goofy exuberance of Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon's History Of Rap Part 2, but in my heart of hearts I kind of wish this was just a full-length performance of "Push It." Throw some matching black Spandex leggings and asymmetrical haircuts on these guys; you're telling me Spinderella doesn't have a couple hours to kill on a weekday evening? Get up on this.
Here's the latest in Jimmy Fallon's "Real People, Fake Arms" series, in which he plays an old clip from a Canadian soap opera called Jacob's Patience that he starred in with Steve Carell and Justin Timberlake. It's the best recurring late night talk show segment that relies heavily on mannequin arms.
Hit the jump for Part Two:
Justin Timberlake hosted Saturday Night Live for the fifth time this weekend, making him a member of the show's exclusive Five-Timers Club and warranting a big cameo-laden sketch. Some of the show's most frequent and beloved hosts like Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Paul Simon, Chevy Chase, and Candice Bergen dropped by, as well as lowly Five-Timers Club staff Dan Aykroyd and Martin Short, making this one of the most impressive reunions of important SNL veterans ever.
Hit the jump for the original sketch that inspired this one, from Tom Hanks's monologue from his fifth time hosting in 1990:
Ben Schwartz has been cast in the upcoming drama Runner, Runner. Set in the world of online gambling, Justin Timberlake plays a totally realistic looking online poker player who becomes the protégé and then enemy of an off-shore gaming CEO (Ben Affleck). Schwartz plays Timberlake's friend, which would make Tom Haverford obscenely jealous. He was also named as one of the leads in a new animated pilot called Working Class Hero, which co-stars Patton Oswalt. Things are going so well for Schwartz, I doubt he'll have to get run over by a Lexus anytime soon.
Comedians Sara Schaefer and Nikki Glaser gathered up some friends to make this simple plea to one Justin Timberlake: your acting is fine, but how about some new music? Because really, none of us know how to pleasure ourselves to Bruno Mars.
