Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake SNL40 Monolgue On Saturday Night Live Opener Wins Praise [Video]
Already, the YouTube video titled Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake SNL40 Monolgue Saturday Night Live by SNL40 Anniversary Show is online, and Twitter is coming alive with praise for the SNL 40th Anniversary show opening. At the beginning of the SNL40 show, Fallon has his back to the camera, and turns slowly before Justin Timberlake interrupts his best friend in order to try and steal the show.
Fallon and Timberlake next went through a retrospective of some of the most famous lines from SNL, like the “sweaty balls” line that Alec Baldwin delivered, and other favorites like “schwing” and “here’s my d**k in a box,” replete with the box, and surprisingly, NBC allowed Timberlake to say the actual word this time, in prime time. Of course, NBC did provide a warning prior to the “SNL40” show starting, saying that the material seen is usually reserved for later display times in the evening. Molly Shannon showed up during the middle of the Fallon and Timberlake routine in order to reprise her role as the “superstar” who likes to stick her hands in her armpits and pull them out and smell them. This time, Shannon had Timberlake and Fallon smell her hands.
Overall, the SNL 40th anniversary is getting positive feedback on Twitter, and with publications running “40 reasons why ‘Saturday Night Live‘ is still awesome at 40,” as CNN did, it’s easy to see why the viewership is loving this retrospective of the past 40 years.
