Justin Timberlake vows to go on a vengeful rampage after Sarah Sherman’s unconventional ‘Oscar snub’ in one of three new promos for Saturday Night Live.
Timberlake, 42, will serve as the musical guest for this week’s new episode, alongside host Dakota Johnson.
Both Johnson and Timberlake – who is promoting his first new album in six years, Everything I Thought It Was – were joined by repertory player Sarah Sherman in the promos (via SNL YouTube).
The promos all begin with Johnson stating, ‘Hi, I’m Dakota Johnson and I’m hosting SNL this week with Justin Timberlake.’
The first promo continues with Sherman stating, ‘I don’t know about you guys, but I’m planning something epic.’

Johnson adds, ‘Oh, I’m sure,’ as Sherman continues, ‘Yeah, Justin, you’re not gonna be the only one bringing sexy back,’ as Timberlake responded, ‘Oh wow, can’t wait to see that.’
Sherman clarifies, ‘Yeah, let’s just say it’s a sketch where our heads explode,’ but Timberlake adds, ‘I don’t think that’s what I meant,’ as Johnson says, ‘That’s hot.’
The second promo has Sherman interrupting Johnson and saying they should ‘soak this in’ because ‘three of the hottest people in the world are on television at the same time!’
Timberlake tries to interrupt but Sherman adds, ‘Shut up! This is historic’ as she basks in the spotlight.
The third and final promo has a dejected Sarah responding to the intro by stating, ‘Whatever, I guess.’
When Johnson asks what’s wrong, she says, ‘Sorry, I’m just still sad about my Oscar snub,’ though a confused Timberlake asked, ‘Wait, what movie were you in?’
‘No, not that kind of Oscar snub. I asked Oscar the Grouch out and he said, “Sorry, honey. I live in the trash. I don’t date it.’
A facetiously angry Timberlake started walking off camera and saying, ‘Know what, just tell me how to get to Sesame Street and I will beat his a**!’
