Justin Timberlake shows up on 'Saturday Night'

Justin Timberlake excited the viewers of Saturday Night Live's 'Weekend Update' on Saturday. Timberlake came on as a compromise for backing out of hosting next week's program. It's a shame he wasn't able to considering the mayhem he caused the two other times he took on the hosting role. Four words: "D*** in a Box."

For his piece, Timberlake came on the fake news and did a three minute montage of what his hosting contribution would be.

Here is the clip of his first appearance on the program:



He may not be very good at doing his impression of the target lady, but Timberlake truly shows his talent for acting, voice parody and musical talent in 180 seconds.

His next cameo came in the form of a skit with Beyonce, Paul Rudd, Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynihan. Beyonce played herself filming a music video for her single, "Single Ladies." Rudd was the director. Samberg, Timberlake and Moynihan were backup dancers complete with turtleneck leotards and black high heels. Samberg's thunder thighs sure were a highlight. It is an absolute shame nbc.com and hulu.com neglected to release the videos online.

To make up for it, here's a refresher on Timberlake's tried and true hit, just for old time's sake:

Some laughs and some reviews

It was a busy week for the the entertainment-obsessed staff of The State Hornet. We managed to secure an exclusive interview with Carlos Alazraqui, a Sacramento State alum known best for his work as Officer Garcia on Comedy Central's "Reno 911!"

We also knocked out a couple reviews this week for a pair of films each boasting a dynamic duo of leading men.

Alazraqui, a traveled comedian and voice actor, and his partner in crime Jill-Michele Melean were on campus to cap off the week's Phlagleblast events with a free comedy show. Apparently, they were so good they set off the sprinkler system.

"Burn After Reading" and "Righteous Kill," which both opened this weekend, left our reviewers a little sour despite the collective star power of George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
