AceShowbiz - Dakota Johnson has reunited with Justin Timberlake on "Saturday Night Live". When hosting the Saturday, January 27 episode of the NBC sketch show, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" actress mocked the singer's "comeback."
The 34-year-old, who worked with the NSYNC member in the 2010 movie "The Social Network", said during her opening monologue, "I'm so happy you chose my show for your comeback." In response, the "Mirror" crooner replied, "It's, uh… Hmm… Comeback… is that what we're calling it? OK."
Dakota then insisted, "Yeah! I mean comeback in a good way." It prompted Justin to answer, "Ah, OK. I see what this is. This is where we make a joke like, 'First he was bringing sexy back and now he's bringing cumming back.' "
The daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith later replied, "I wouldn't phrase it like that." Former cast member Jimmy Fallon then showed up, dressing in a disco-inspired white suit as Barry Gibb from a long-running "SNL" bit with Justin. "I'm here to say break a leg," the TV host said before Justin escorted him from the stage.
Justin later performed "Selfish" and a new unreleased song, "Sanctified". Both tracks are expected to appear on his upcoming album, "Everything I Thought It Was", which will hit streaming services on March 15.
Justin has not appeared on "Saturday Night Live" since December 2013. He has hosted the show five times, and has performed on the show six times, including his 2000 debut with NSYNC.
As he's gearing up for his new album, Justin is also preparing the "Forget Tomorrow" world tour. He will kick things off at Vancouver's Rogers Arena on April 29, before heading to cities like Seattle, San Jose, Las Vegas and San Diego among others in May.
On June 4, Justin is set to perform in Fort Worth. He will make stops in Tulsa, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, Chicago, New York, Boston, Baltimore and others before wrapping it up in Lexington on July 7.
