His fifth appearance as the co-host and anchor of ‘Saturday Night Live,’ one
of the most popular American shows hiked the television rankings. Turned out
that the performance of his latest number ‘Suit and Tie’ from his album ‘The
20/20 Experience’ energized and brought the whole show alive yet again.
On the show, Timberlake brought back the former hosts who form the ‘Five-Timers’ club of SNL: Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Tom Hanks, Martin Short and other SNL legends.
The 32-year-old tweeted his joy upon being the fifth-time host of the show: ‘There are so many exciting things about hosting five times. You get to see old friends. You get to try new things. You get to inevitably let everyone down thanks to overly high expectations — thanks, Internet!’
In the show’s opening, Elton John (Timberlake dresses up like him) flies all the way from Venezuela to pay a tribute to Hugo Chavez. Then Elton sings his song ‘Candle in the Wind’, cleverly changing the lyrics for Chavez. Following the song, there was a nearly nine-minute monologue by Timberlake, introducing all the former hosts of the show. The cherry on the cake was the famous ‘Three Amigos salute’ by Martin Short, the revival of Chevy Chase who was banned for his verbal abuses many years ago, and the exciting ‘It’s a Date’ game show between ‘The Dick in a Box’ pair and the Festrunk brothers. In the game, all of them competed like bachelors, who hit on SNL’s cast Vanessa Bayer, wooing her to spend the night.
In a secret room, he met the ‘Five-Timers’ who presented him with a ‘5-Timer’ smoking jacket. He rocked the history of rap segment, he rapped with Jimmy Fallon to the tunes of ‘Ice, ice, Baby.’ The night ended with a musical treat by Timberlake who sang his latest single ‘Suit and Tie.’ While singing it, he unwittingly modified the lyrics, hitting out at his rival rapper Kanye West who had also done the same at his concert a couple of months earlier.
So it won’t be a surprise if SNL’s producers would want to make him a permanent guest host too!
