They’re back! This weekend’s Saturday Night Live finale featured Creative Arts Emmy winners Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg — clad in their Color Me Badd-inspired suits — teaming up for a side-splitting collaboration with musical guest Lady Gaga as Timberlake came aboard to host the final episode of SNL of the show’s 36th season. Fans of Mother Monster and the former boy bander got a taste of the pair’s famous vocals together in the “What’s That Name?” skit and “Threeway,” a digital short, starring JT, his “Motherlover” partner Samberg, Gaga, and a whole slew of ’90s sex ballads.
