Thanks to a new union contract, dancers in Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience World Tour will be covered by a SAG-AFTRA Touring Agreement where performer earnings count toward pension and health benefits eligibility. The deal also provides touring companies with improved budget flexibility through direct negotiations with performers.



SAG-AFTRA President Ken Howard applauded Timberlake and the SAG-AFTRA dancers who worked to unionize the 20/20 Experience tour.

"This is a wonderful result for SAG-AFTRA members and Justin Timberlake. Justin was very open to signing the agreement and personally making sure the deal got done,” Howard said. “As a leading recording artist and actor, Justin’s support for his fellow SAG-AFTRA members in unionizing his tour was a key element in concluding this agreement. I thank him for taking the lead."

8. Let us not forget his most famous Christmas present

9. I heard his interview with Teri Gross about

his week with SNL and how coming up with that song was so extemporaneous with his SNL partner. They did another one later about cougars and he and his best friend doing each other's mothers!

That song is a new holiday classic along with Alec Baldwin's Schwetty Balls.

Justin Timberlake. I think it's become a tradition in the last couple years that he hosts SNL on the last night of the season. Will see if it holds this year. He's a good man and probably just added a whole new group of fans.
Thanks for the OP, Omaha Steve! Happy Thanksgiving! May you have piiiiiiiiiiiieeeeee!
