As "Saturday Night Live" wrapped up its 36th season, the show let theevening's megastar guests, Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake, take the reins; a move which meant a revisit of some of JT's classic "SNL" gags and a live television moment only Mother Monster could deliver.
JT started the show insisting that he wouldn't be singing during his latestappearance, only to segue into a ditty during which he busted out hissignature falsetto, serenaded a blushing audience member and brought it onhome with some soulful trills.
But JT didn't stay on the anti-singing kick for long, popping up in thefirst sketch as an overeager street marketer in a beer-bottle costume armedwith booze-friendly versions of pop hits. Going up against side-eyes from aprudish, tea-shilling Kristen Wiig, Timberlake countered with pro-imbibingjams like a revamp of DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win." Lady Gaga got in on theaction, too, tottering on set in a snug vine-swathed frock with goblet-shapedglove thingys to join Timberlake for reboot of B.o.B and Hayley Williams'smash "Airplanes," crooning, "I could really use a drink right now." Thepair then belted "too much merlot" to Flo Rida's "Low" before switching upthe easy-listening staple "Endless Love" to "Endless Buzz," with lines like,"No one can deny/ This hooch I have inside."
Gaga also showed off her comedic skills in a digital short alongsideTimberlake and Andy Samberg. After getting some sugar from mature vixensPatricia Clarkson and Susan Sarandon, JT and Samberg hit the streets inColor Me Badd fresh jumpsuits and leather bombers only to both show up atGaga's door clutching Alize and Bartles & Jaymes. Looking in gold hoops and a gaudy getup, the pop supernova welcomed them in for an ode to the ménage a trois. "You're my best friend through thick and thin and now it's time to make a triple connection," the crew belted. "It's OK when it's in a three-way. It's not gay when it's in a three-way!"
Gaga's first onstage performance began with a much more subdued tone. Bangingaway on a striped grand piano with a silvery crescent-shaped headdress, thesongstress showed off her fiery vocals with an impassioned rendition of"Edge of Glory." Then MotherMonster ditched the intimate vibe -- and the headpiece -- for aclub-ready performance of her speaker-rattling single "Judas." Dancers indark kilts and strappy, belted bodices backed up Gaga, who coordinated hertwo-toned locks, shiny black body suit and thigh-high boots with the stripedstage. After flexing some of the video's high-energy choreography, Gagaretreated to a ladder on the side of the set for a bit before launching backinto the punchy moves.
JT and Gaga kept cranking out the laughs as the songstress owned Timberlakein a celebrity edition of "What's That Name?" While Timberlake handilyidentified animated '90s Paula Abdul collaborator MC Skat Kat, thesinger/actor blanked on the name of a bubbly hook-up from two weeks ago, andeven struck out on Taran Killiam as Timberlake's fellow 'NSYNC member ChrisKirkpatrick. Grinning in a latex blazer and bra, Gaga easily remembered afan she met in passing, schooled JT on the purpose of his charity andrattled off names of the stage crew and audience.
Timberlake put his growing acting skills to work in every sketch, creepingout Jason Sudeikis as a handsy member of a robotic barbershop trio on ahokey carnival ride, sparring with Bill Hader's decrepit local newscorrespondent and continuously flubbing the retro "Secret Word" game as acampy magician peddling crusty tricks.
For her last onstage trick, Gaga revisited the futuristic birth theme of her February Grammy performance of "Born This Way," revving up the performance with some S&M touches. Once again, the superstar emerged from an egg-shaped structure, this time however the vessel was adorned with caviar-like lumps. Gaga hit the stage in a cropped latex top with voluminous shoulders and second-skin leggings as fog encircled the singer and her crew. Swapping out the flesh-tone tunics from the Grammy performance for shiny belly-baring tops and slashed culottes, the dancers rocked the choreography as Gaga whipped her blonde ponytail around. Enveloped by her dancers for an onstage costume change, Mother Monster ramped up the drama by getting outfitted with a prosthetic latex-covered pregnancy belly. Gaga vamped it up in the fake baby bump as her crew hoisted her onto a throne and caressed her body, and glitter rained onto the pop diva.
The show closed with a cameo appearance from "SNL" alum and late-night hostJimmy Fallon for the "Barry Gibb Talk Show." Timberlake reprised his role asapathetic sidekick Robin Gibb to Fallon's jumpy, karate-chopping Barry as hegrilled guests about the U.S. debt. JT stayed largely mum as Falloncontinued to wig out, only piping up to briefly harmonize, "We suckled atthe same teat!" Yet Timberlake was quick to revive Fallon when he frozeduring a signature freak-out. When the comedian came to, Fallon exclaimed,"I survived the Rapture!"
