    That might be the best Digital Short ever. I'm watching it for the third time right now. Very well done.

    Timberlake doing Kelly Clarkson? He WILL do anything, and he's unbelievably talented. That PlasticVille/Lifters skit should not have been that good, but it was. Wow.

    This is a pretty good read.

    Not a big fan of the Barry Gibb Talk Show. The songs are sort of entertaining, but it just doesn't do it for me.
    I actually liked the pirate skit (at least the parts without Keenan Thompson). "Yeah? Here's a FastPass back to Hell you churro-loving sons-a-bitches."

    My favorite line in the digital short: "this is our second-best idea". Timberlake is one of those guys it took a long time for me to warm up to, but he wears you down because he'll work his butt off to entertain people. His stint hosting the ESPYs was great.

    I haven't watched it yet, but in about five years I fully expect Timberlake to be the biggest star in the world, acting, music etc...

    I'm stunned he hasn't done more movies.

    Barry Gibb talk show has always -- always -- been awesome. It's a predictable, one-note skit that cracks me up .... every ... single ... time.

    Of course, I don't have an irrational hatred of Jimmy Fallon. Dude was good on SNL.

    I remember three years ago (I think) when it was announced he was hosting/musical guest for the first time. I don't think I could have been more down on the possibility of it being entertaining.

    Now I feel like I am only truly interested if it involves him to some capacity. Especially considering all the great comedy talent that comes in and flops.

    P.S. I love Fred Armisen doing Patterson. Gets me every time. Hader does a pretty good Spitzer too.
