Justin Timberlake did Jimmy Fallon a favor by revamping the talk host's debut on "Late Night Show". The pop singer made an impression of John Mayer and Michael McDonald while singing, inviting laughters from the audience. He hit it out on Mayer's "Daughters" with raspy kind of voice.

"John Mayer is like if Macy Gray and Smokey Robinson... Actually, Macy Gray and Smokey the Bear, had a love child," Timberlake joked before the taking on the impersonation. He explains that he uses a technique, saying "Literally his tongue takes over."

Also supporting Fallon on Monday, March 1 night were Robert De Niro and Van Morrison. Fallon replaces Connan O'Brien who left the show to take over "Tonight Show" from Jay Leno in June. The debut absorbed mixed reviews but drew the show its best ratings in 3 years.
