Justin Timberlake reflects on the daring move that persuaded Beyoncé to join him in a SNL sketch that is still unforgettable.

Known for his knack for creating lasting memories, Justin Timberlake shares the story of how he convinced the iconic Beyoncé to step out of her comfort zone and into the world of comedy on Saturday Night Live in 2008.

In a recent NBC documentary, Timberlake, now 43, revealed the lengths he went to in order to get the legendary singer to participate in what would become a legendary skit.

During his hosting stint on the popular comedy show, Timberlake recalled how a clever idea from fellow cast members Andy Samberg and Bobby Moynihan led to a surprise collaboration in a sketch that had them all dressed in leotards and high heels, playing the role of background dancers who missed their chance to perform with Beyoncé.

Despite initial hesitation from Beyoncé, who was at the peak of her solo career, Timberlake's unconventional approach won her over.

After a failed attempt to persuade her conventionally, Timberlake took a bold step by showing up at her door in full costume – a move that impressed Beyoncé and ultimately led to her agreement to join the sketch.

The resulting performance was a hit, generating a buzz that lasted long after the episode aired, solidifying Timberlake and Beyoncé's comedic chemistry in the minds of viewers worldwide.
