In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, Dakota Johnson and Justin Timberlake shared a delightful reunion during Johnson’s opening monologue, creating an entertaining atmosphere for the audience. The duo’s last on-screen collaboration was in the 2010 hit film “The Social Network,” where they portrayed an awkward “morning-after” scene.
Timberlake, known for his hit song “Mirrors,” is gearing up for his first world tour in five years and has announced his sixth studio album, titled “Everything I Thought It Was,” scheduled for release on March 15. This album marks Timberlake’s return to the music scene since his 2018 release, “Man of the Woods.”
During the SNL monologue on January 27, Johnson took a lighthearted jab at Timberlake’s “comeback” as he eagerly expressed his interest in participating in the episode’s skits. The former NSync member humorously declared, “I have hosted before,” playfully mouthing “five times.” Johnson, not one to miss a beat, responded, “Yeah, well, that was ten years ago. I’m so happy you chose my show for your comeback.”
Timberlake, visibly amused but pretending to be offended, questioned the notion of a “comeback,” to which Johnson clarified, “Comeback? Is that what we’re calling it?” She added, “Yeah, comeback in a good way.” Timberlake seized the opportunity for a witty remark, saying, “Oh, OK, I see what this is. This is where we make a joke like, ‘First, he was bringing sexy back, and now he’s bringing ‘coming’ back.”
The exchange showcased the chemistry and camaraderie between the two stars, providing a humorous insight into Timberlake’s return to the spotlight. Fans of both artists can anticipate more entertaining moments as Timberlake’s album release and world tour draw nearer.
As the anticipation builds for “Everything I Thought It Was” and Timberlake’s upcoming tour, the SNL episode served as a memorable platform for laughter and nostalgia, making it a must-watch for fans of Dakota Johnson, Justin Timberlake, and Saturday Night Live alike.
