Talkin' It Out

Many of you have probably seen the video for a new holiday song that premiered on Saturday Night Live last week, when Justin Timberlake hosted. It's everywhere, so I won't post it. But it's hilarious. Turns out that Timberlake is becoming an Alec Baldwin-level host.

For many years, the only thing more irritating than the show was the subset of the show known as Jimmy Fallon. And though I'm far from ready to forgive him his many comedic sins (not to mention his smarminess), he returned for this sketch with Timberlake, and I thought it was funny:
