When was it announced, and what was notable about Timberlake’s return?
Pitchfork’s Matthew Strauss reported on January 19, 2024, that Timberlake had been announced for the January 27 episode and Johnson would host. At the time of that report, Timberlake had not appeared on the NBC program since December 2013; that is the context as reported in January 2024, not a statement about his appearances since then.
