  • I Love Sports, his tribute to the headlines of the 2008 sports year as part of an impressive overall job hosting the ESPY Awards that year.
  • All 20 goddamn minutes of his 2013 VMAs performance. Including the *NSYNC reunion.
  • After not having a #1 hit in almost a decade, "Can't Stop The Feeling!", his release for the Trolls film set for a fall 2016 release, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 2016, and was later nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. And despite faltering from the Top 10 rather quickly after its time in the Top 5 came to its end, it not only made the Top 10 of the 2016 Year-End Hot 100, but it stuck around and reached the 52 week limit and even made the top half of 2017's. Quite the feat for a 15 week Top 10 that was never the strongest in streaming.
  • The music video Elton John's "This Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore" has Timberlake playing Sir Elton John in his look from the 1970s, when Elton was at the top of his game. Timberlake regards himself as a perfectionist and supposedly spent time researching Elton's exact look before taking part in the video, to the point where he's near indistinguishable from the man himself.
