Justin Timberlake And Jimmy Fallon Reunite For ‘The Barry Gibb Show’
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon returned to their funky alter-egos during this weekend’s Saturday Night Live appearance. Appearing as this week’s musical guest, the “Selfish” singer reunited with the Tonight Show host for another edition of The Barry Gibb Talk Show. For those who don’t know, the iconic sketch cast Fallon as Bee Gees member Barry Gibb and Timberlake as his bandmate and brother, Robin. It began over 20 years ago, and the two picked up where they left off in Barry’s “no-nonsense show.” The show was a 2024 election-themed broadcast featuring Andrew Yang (Bowen Yang), Elie Mystal (Kenan Thompson), and activist Joanne Carducci (host Dakota Johnson). Fallon’s Barry is still as easily angered as always, while Timberlake’s Robin is very shy yet always ready to sing along in harmony with his brother.

Barry kicks off the segment by calling out the people’s perceptions of this election year’s candidates: “One is too old, and the other will be distracted by his legal problems,” he sings in falsetto. Barry snaps at Thompson’s Mystal, taking everything to offense, then threatens him. “You look like if Don King ate another Don King!” Barry yells. “I will unhinge my jaw and bite your head off like a Goldfish cracker!” He and Robin then harmonize, “The snack that smiles back!” without missing a beat. He continues right away, “I fear nothing! I watched Saltburn with my entire family. And I knew about the bathtub scene beforehand. And I loved it!” Then, to the theme of the Bee Gees classic “Stayin’ Alive,” he and Timberlake sing, “Ha, ha, ha, ha, lickin’ a drain, humpin’ a drain.”

This marks the seventh edition of The Barry Gibb Talk Show, which kicked off in 2003 when Timberlake was the host and Fallon was still a member of the SNL cast. They’ve reprised the bit several times over the years, but not since December 2013, when Barry Gibb himself made a surprise appearance, a year after his brother Robin’s death.
