Justin Timberlakeput on his “Suit & Tie” and hosted a late night show!

As the ABC talk show kicked off, Timberlake casually emerged on stage in a white pinstripe suit jacket with a white t-shirt underneath and black pants, with Kimmel nowhere to be found.

“Hello, everyone. Welcome toJimmy Kimmel Live!.I’m going to be your host tonight, Justin Timberlake,” he said while the audience roared with applause and cheers. “Now you all might know me from being … Justin Timberlake.”

The comedian then walked out, looking more stunned to see the “Cry Me a River” singer than “beat.” After repeating, “I am here!” and asking why Timberlake was up on stage, he inquired further why the performer would think he needed “a guest host.”

“Because you were out all night at the Oscar afterparty,” the hitmaker responded, playfully making a gesture as if Kimmel had been drinking.

When Kimmel admitted that went to one party and then went to bed, Timberlake told it that was “so sad” and used his final moment of stage time to tease the rest of the monologue he would’ve given. “I had a whole monologue planned. I was going to do a presidential debate rap battle where I playTrumpandBiden. ‘You’re a loser.’ ‘Come on, man,’” he said, doing impressions.

Later during theepisode, the “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer also debuted his new song “No Angels,” off his forthcoming albumEverything I Thought It Was.

“Like full throttle, pilot on auto / There ain’t no angels here on the dance floor / Forget tomorrow, more like you wanna play / There ain’t no angels here on the dance floor,” Timberlake sings on the saucy pop song.
