Good news: Justin Timberlake has been confirmed as the host of the season finale of “Saturday Night Live” on May 21st. He’ll be joined by musical guest Lady Gaga. It will be Timberlake’s fourth time hosting; Gaga last appeared on the show in October 2009.
It’s hard to believe that Timberlake has only hosted the show three times dating back to 2003, given how many memorable sketches he’s appeared in — Dick in a Box, Motherlover, the Single Ladies dance, Breakfast Competition, the Barry Gibb Talk Show, Immigrant Tale, and Hip Hop Kids, to name a few (although it’s worth noting that he’s made some non-hosting appearances). Along with Jon Hamm, he’s probably the best “SNL” host today. Not bad for someone who used to be a boy band star with Top Ramen hair.
