Before taking home four moonmen at last night's MTV Video Music Awards, Justin Timberlake won an Emmy for his Saturday Night Live song "D__ in a Box." The award was announced September 8 at the considerably less star-studded Creative Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.
"D__ in a Box" co-star Andy Samberg was on-hand to collect the prize, along with two other writers. According to the AP, Samberg said in his speech, "I think it's safe to say when we first set out to make this song, we were all thinking 'Emmy!' The other thing we were thinking was, 'Hey! Here's this young up-and-comer, Justin Timberlake, who is clearly very talented and could clearly use a break. So Justin, if you're out there, congrats to you, kid."
Timberlake was in fact "out there," performing in Tacoma, Washington. The AP speculates that with Timberlake's FutureSex LoveShow stopping in Los Angeles next weekend, he and Samberg could perform their award-winning ditty at the primetime Emmy Awards telecast on September 16. We'd love to see it happen! Emmy producers, here's how:
Step 1: Cut a hole in the show
Step 2: Put JT in the show
Step 3: Make us watch the show
...And that's the way you do it!
