Johnson playfully acknowledged their past work together, laying the groundwork for a comedic exchange. “I’m so happy you chose my show for your comeback,” Dakota remarked to Timberlake, who responded with a thoughtful, “It’s, uh… Hmm… Comeback… is that what we’re calling it? OK.”

Johnson retorted with a cheeky, “Yeah! I mean comeback in a good way.”

The interaction climaxed with Timberlake humorously referencing his iconic “bringing sexy back” era. “Ah, 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 cu**ing back.’” Johnson replied, “I wouldn’t phrase it like that.”

Beyond the SNL banter, Timberlake showcased his musical prowess with performances of ‘Selfish’ and an unreleased song, ‘Sanctified.’ As the artist prepares for his first live shows in the US in five years, with stops in major cities, the amusing SNL exchange adds an extra layer of anticipation to his upcoming endeavours.
