    Justin Timberlake and Amy Poehler on SNL
    Justin Timberlake is getting his proper due for two hilarious appearances as host of Saturday Night Live in the show’s 34th season.
    He has been nominated for three Emmy Awards, the premier award for television shows. He was nominated for guest actor in a comedy series for his two hosting appearances and two for songwriting, one for SNL’s “Motherlover” and the other for the 2008 ESPY Awards’ anthem “I Love Sports”.
    Justin, a six-time Grammy Award winner for his singing ability, already has an Emmy for writing and performing “D— in the Box” with Adam Samberg during his first hosting appearance on SNL in 2007.

    Justin’s guest host appearances have sparked an SNL that has been dull since the end of the presidential electionin November also ended Tina Fey’s guest appearances to impersonate Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
    During his appearances, Justin usually had a skit in Target as a bagger or an old lady, and he partnered with SNL alum Jimmy Fallon to impersonate Bee Gees brothers Barry and Robin Gibbs.
    One of Justin’s most popular skits was when he wore a leotard and high heels to be one of Beyonce’s three male backup dancers in a mock video of her song, “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”.

    Another popular skit is when he dressed as silicone and sang and dance “Bring It On Down to Plasticville” to attract people to a cosmetic surgery office.
    So Justin is well deserving of his Emmy Nominations for making SNL funny to watch again.
