Justin Timberlake Set To Rock ‘Saturday Night Live’ Stage Alongside Dakota Johnson
On January 27, Justin Timberlake will be back on Saturday Night Live (SNL) as a musical guest and joining Dakota Johnson, as announced by NBC on January 19. This appearance marks his fifth time as a solo musical guest, and the Fifty Shades of Grey actress will be hosting for the second time that evening. Dakota Johnson will be starring in Madame Web next month, and Timberlake, who is returning into a new phase of his music career, will grace the SNL stage in support of his alleged upcoming album ‘Everything I Thought I Was.’ This album is a big deal because it’s his first since the not-so-successful “Man Of The Woods” in 2018.
This SNL episode is the second one in 2024, following the recent episode with Jacob Elordi as the host and Reneé Rapp as the musical guest. Timberlake, a 10-time Grammy winner, is no newcomer to Studio 8H at 30 Rock. He became part of SNL‘s prestigious Five-Timers Club in March 2013, and twice, he played dual roles as host and musical guest. His appearances on the show have led to some of his sketches becoming viral hits.
For those eager to see more of Timberlake, he’s making a pitstop on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 25, adding to the excitement for his SNL return. The anticipation is building up for what Timberlake has in store for his fans; this time, it’s all about his music.
