Uncommonly large roster of surprise guests, drop-ins, and cameos - a record number? - on last night's episode of "Saturday Night Live," hosted by pop singer/songwriter/producer/actor and increasingly reliable sketch comic Justin Timberlake.
Along with Justin, we saw his sweetie Jessica Biel (whose unbilled and fantastic Jessica Rabbit impression was a highlight of an earlier ep) introduce a musical segment featuring Ciara and Timberlake; Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson as MILFs in a terrific Mother's Day digital-short sequel to Timberlake and Andy Samberg's "Dick in a Box" music video; former SNL cast member, fledgling/annoying talk-show host, and tvornottv whipping boy Jimmy Fallon reunited with Timberlake for a new edition of their "Barry Gibb Talk Show" skit; and "Star Trek" stars Chris Pine, Zachery Quinto and Leonard Nimoy on "Weekend Update" plugging the feature-film reboot of the sci-fi warhorse in amusing fashion. Along with the Duane Johnson, Jon Hamm and Anne Hathaway-hosted affairs, it was one of the few top-notch SNLs of a mediocre season. (I think of the fall's dynamite political material with Tina Fey's devastating lampoon of Sarah Palin as something separate from the standard raft of sketches.) And I'd say that Timberlake is now among the program's elite hosts - alongside Christopher Walken, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin and (sorry, Kevin) Alec Baldwin. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
