![]() ![]() Naturally, this whole sketch is an excuse for Timberlake to impersonate Fallon to his face. CBS celebs Jim Parsons (Fallon), Ashton Kutcher (Taran Killam), Jon Cryer (John Milhiser) and Allyson Hannigan (Noel Wells) are playing for the Red Cross NBC stars Jimmy Fallon (Timberlake), Jane Lynch (Kate McKinnon), Ice-T (Jay Pharaoh), and Brooks Wheelan (himself) are playing for – low blow – the NBC/Universal company. Celebrity Family Feud, hosted by (of course) Kenan Thompson’s Steve Harvey, has CBS and NBC celebrities facing off for charity. Everyone’s having so much fun that “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” nearly gets lost in the cheers.įamily Feud Celebrity Edition: Right up until Timberlake exits the comedy stage to focus on music, every sketch tops the last one. Aidy Bryant gets props for dance-bombing their big finish. (Or at least, I assume that’s what happened after her screams interrupted Bryant, twice.) Jimmy and Justin are amazingly in sync (HAHA) on everything here: the songs, the choreography, the belabored gay joke (“I sacked his deck”) that is nonetheless funny. Aidy Bryant is trying to gift wrap for charity, but her pitches can’t compete with the Wrappinville team’s covers of Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'” (“Wanna Be Starting a Wrap War”), Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know” (“Some Present That I Used to Know”), Ludacris’ “Roll Out,” and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop.” You know that the show’s off to a good start when an audience member has to be forcibly removed for being too enthusiastic. This time, he’s a giant roll of wrapping paper, accompanied by host Jimmy Fallon’s human-sized gift bag. Wrappinville Cold Open: It’s the return of the rapping mascot! It hasn’t been that long, actually Timberlake played a dancing block of tofu for the “Veganville” sketch in March. Where Does Jimmy Fallon Rank on Our List of the 50 Funniest People? But the funniest sketch of the night didn’t star Timberlake, McCartney or Madonna – just the mega-talented ladies of SNL, doing their thing. Between host Fallon, musical guest Timberlake, and an all-star line-up of celebrity cameos, this was the most exciting SNL episode of the season. They finish each other’s punchlines, they sing in perfect harmony: They’re like the sexy Smothers Brothers. These guys were the ideal choice to finish out the year: They struck up a friendship on Saturday Night Live ten years ago, and (as anyone who watches Late Night With Jimmy Fallon knows) their rapport has only gotten stronger. Remember the day before your school’s Christmas vacation, when you and the other kids were so wild with excitement that you couldn’t even stay in your seats, so your teacher just passed out candy canes and put on a video and got the hell out of the way? I’m pretty sure that was exactly how it felt in Studio 8H last night, as Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake delivered a near-perfect Christmas episode to an ecstatic crowd. ![]()
