Justin Timberlake an equal-opportunity sex object on SNL


Even if you're not a fan of Hot 100-er Justin Timberlake's music, attempts at acting or overall ubiquitousness, you have to give the little guy credit for going out of his way to be so damn likable to everyone, regardless of gender, age, sexuality, or anything else.

JT was the host of one of the stronger SNLs of the season this past weekend (not saying much, granted...) and several skits highlighted his comfort with his sexuality, his gay fans and even with having gay rumors circulate about him. Above, he sits on a (hot!) male audience member's lap in his monologue, and below makes a joke about experimenting with guys.

(My favorite skit of the night, where Timberlake played a gay Disney pirate, isn't available on Hulu, but its utter bizarreness was a refreshing throwback to the show's best years.)

Sexual Preference?

I thought we retired that phrase in the 90s.

Thanks Brian!

Still love you and everything you write.  That one bit just confused me.

nevermind, you changed it

SNL Timberlake

Loved how (hot!) male audience member slapped Justin on the ass as he got up to continue on with the shtick.

Justin actually has surprisingly good comedic chops.  The immigrant sketch was probably my fave of the night.  "He'll try some stuff with guys...Forget that part!"  ha!

You can tell that some hosts really bring out the inspired ideas in the writers.  Justin seems to be one of them.  His appearances are typically fairly amusing.
