Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon are a match made in comedy heaven. The duo managed to help break records for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The pair’s recurring “Camp Winnipesaukee” became the most watched segment among ages 18-49 in Fallon’s current stint as host. Aside from Timberlake and Fallon, the sketch features support from Key & Peele creator Keegan Michael-Key and Emmy Award-winning comedian Billy Crystal.
Fallon and Timberlake have been making folks laugh together for years. The unlikely duo first met backstage at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards where they became fast friends. Their on-screen chemistry grew during “The Barry Gibb Talk Show” skits on Saturday Night Live on three separate occasions (2003, 2005, and 2006).
When Fallon started hosting Late Night with Jimmy Fallon back in 2009, the two reconnected for the memorable “History of Rap” sketches, which have been some of the most viewed in Fallon’s talk show career.
Timberlake was even featured on Fallon’s 2012 comedy album Blow Your Pants Off.
This year, Fallon won his third consecutive People’s Choice Award for Favorite Late Night Talk Show Host. In October, he’s slated to release his first children’s book Everything Is Mama.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has been the number one show for the key 18-49 year old demographic since its debut in 2014.
Timberlake kicked off 2017 with an Academy Award and Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song with “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” from the film Trolls. Back in May, he joined forces with rapper Eminem to raise money for those suffering from the Manchester Arena attack victims. Along with other celebrities, they helped raise over $2.3 million.
