Even Seth Meyers had to watch as Timberlake took over Weekend Update segment (see below), which ended with Timberlake standing on the Update desk and singing to an appreciative crowd. So while Timberlake got all the good laughs (and made me really sad that I won't get to see a new "Barry Gibb Talk Show," JT as James Dean with Bill Hader's incredible Vincent Price, or what exactly would happen if JT cut a hole in a turkey), Rudd was kind of a dud. It pains me to say that, as I normally adore him. But his subdued, low-energy vibe didn't really work with the live show. And why did the writers all think it was hysterical just to make him randomly make out with people or put him in awkward sexual situations? Funny once (in the digital short); not funny repeatedly (in the touchy-feely family or the guys at the cafe fighting over one girl skit). He probably deserved better sketches, or maybe he would have been better suited to a three-minute condensed version of the planned sketches, and the rest of the time he could have stood there with Justin while they both sported leotards and heels for no apparent reason. That would have made for good TV.

See the JT Update sketch below and then let us know what you thought of his surprise appearance and Rudd's hosting duties.
