Justin Timberlake On 'Saturday Night Live': Star To Host 'SNL' Season Finale

Quick, don't open that box quite yet.

Justin Timberlake has officially been confirmed as the host of the May 21st season finale of "Saturday Night Live," according to a tweet sent out by the show.

When a Twitter follower wrote, "I didn’t realize that @nbcsnl isn’t back until May 7th!!! What am I going to do!? Is Tina Fey the season finale!? #SNL #aaahhhh," the show responded, "Nope! We have Timberlake after that!"

Timberlake often hosts the show, and has been involved in some of the most memorable skits and digital shorts in recent memory. That includes the songs "Mother Lover" and the Emmy-winning "Dick In A Box," both with Andy Samberg.

He's hysterical. I wonder why his skits and songs are always so incredibly funny. If it's him, then they need him full time!

i wanted him full time as well cause i roll over laughing whenever him or The Rock is on there, but then i realized, maybe it's so good cause they not on all the time, so we anticipate them more :)

i believe it's because of that andy samborg guy, i'm pretty sure Justin has a hand in creating the songs as well, but I'm sure most of it is Andy.
