Justin Timberlake "I Love Sports" Video From The ESPYs

ESPYs host Justin Timberlake stole the show Sunday night when ESPN broadcast its annual awards show, which was filmed last Wednesday at Los Angeles' Nokia Theater. Timberlake seamlessly transitioned from awestruck fan to master comedian and musician as he ribbed Kansas Jayhawks star Mario Chalmers for beating his beloved Memphis Tigers in the NCAA final, teased Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning for finally getting to see a woman naked after marrying his college sweetheart, Abby, and consoled Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre's maybe-replacement in the Packers QB spot (not to mention announcing that Roger Clemens might be missing the next 5-10 ESPY awards, as well as a host of Mitchell Report jokes).

Below, watch Timberlake's musical number, "I Love Sports," where he reflected on the sports year that was, poked some fun at celebrity couples Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo and Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, and made light of the wardrobe malfunction scandal from the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show (which, incidentally, was back in the news Monday when a court tossed the FCC's fine against CBS over the incident):

that was great

[walk0nwalls]

Consummate entertainer that boy.

Pretty nice guy by the sounds of it too. Decent head on his shoulders.

[ecksman]

i gotta admit ... he did a good job

very entertaining

[lisak2008]

This was funny. Not quite as funny as his SNL appearances, but funny enough for a musician on a sports thingy. I wish I had seen him doing this. I suspect I missed sooo much more! Why didn't they advertise his appearance?

[Hagrid]

This young man is the real deal.
Of all the musicians that are all the rage right now, Timberlake will be entertaining us for years to come.
I can see him hosting the Oscars.

[ZimboChick]

That was super awesome. That boy is so talented and those calling him lame are just projecting lol

[lisakaz2]

Justin was good. I kinda felt sorry for Eli, Geez, he just got outta Peytie's shadow and he can't totally enjoy it! LOL.

Timberlake was great, but John Carlos & Tommie Smith stole the show! Was 14 in 1968, hopefully Avery Brundidge & the rest of the nazi white separatists whom ran the olympics back then are rolling over in their graves & will rot in hell forever ...

Free speech baby!

carry on

[lisakaz2]

I didn't know the full story. The msm did a "good job" (ahem) in painting these two as radicals when with the whole story given shows it to be a very distorted account.

"...but John Carlos & Tommie Smith stole the show!"

^5!

[sufi66]

As if this is a hard show to steal. Watching grass grow would have stolen the show too.

PS. JANET IS FUNNIER... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukucdCl7vQM

He's got a knack for humor. Just look at the Pepsi spot in which he gets yanked all around. I love the shoulder shrug, and when the big screen TV knocks him over.

Don't really know about his singing career, but he's kind of a natural for the funny.

[XiMan]

Justin is funny... but he's also LAME! He can sing... but he's also......LAME! He's a catch 22.

Your Homeboy Justin (Michael J. wannabe)

I'm not a JT fan, but he is a funny guy. You always have those people around that 'hate' everything no matter what or have to make rude comments, because they don't find something funny that most everyone else does. I feel sorry for people like that and you know most of them are rethugs. So unhappy in every aspect of their shallow little lives.

I think Justin is funnier than he11. He always great on SNL.

You rethugs should love this one of Justin.

I know this one won't get posted...

[JuniorBug]

You're trying to politicize player-hating? Really?

Really?

[lesterfreeman]

Anyone saying this wasn't great... I dunno. Justin continues to impress.
