I think it was Justin Timberlake’s third outing as saturday night live combo host / musical guest on last Saturday, and I don’t care who says I’m lame for believing it’s beyond refute: the guy is extremely and broadly talented. SNL’s first post-Fey season is wanting. Last week’s was a gem.

I like singers who can do comedy well (JT) and actresses who can sing and dance well (ex. Kate Winslet). The list goes on. Just not here.

Evidence of Justin + SNL synergy:

a) Omletteville revisited. So hot. Kelley and I do the “gonna bring on in to Omletteville-eah!” around the house all the time, and we crack up. Also, we’re huge f-ing nerds.

b) Barry Gibb Talk Show round 3 (featuring Fallon, of course, who took time off from coke-frenzying/shark-jumping to do some quality comedy; neither round 2 nor 3 was as tremendous as the first (Cruz Bustamante! eh ah eh!), but the concept is just so f-ing great; also - eh just want to taaeeehlk to yuh!)

c) Make her open the box (NSFW - if that link was news to you, you’re living in the past (which is normally known as “12 months into my future”). I think it’s very possible this come close to being this year’s “I’m Rick James, b-eotch.”

d) so yeah, clearly JT’s good-looking in that sort of subtle, abstract way that makes a woman want to have sex with a man. And he can sing, and I think I saw him play a piano or something. He is well-rounded. I’m also sure he has an enormous Pheromone sac and male genitals, which is fine.

I have no doubt my wife thinks about JT occasionally while we’re having sex, and I’d just like to point out that picking Kate Winslet as my JT counterpoint up above was a completely random thing of no real consequence.
