Justin Timberlake dancing in high heels and a one-piece last Saturday night on 'Satujrday Night Live' was worth seeing again. But, good luck. Finally there's an explanation why you can't find the clip on SNL's website. Here are the details from the LA Times.
An "SNL" insider tells a GaySocialites source that Timberlake only agreed to do the piece for a "set price," and that means he would get "performance residuals" for any further distribution of the skit.
If that's true, it explains why the hysterical video was removed from YouTube Monday (but not before it got 600,000 hits) and perhaps why it vanished from embedded spots on websites around the world.
It also may explain why the skit is not featured anywhere on the NBC.com website, although another Timberlake skit, Weekend Update, is are available for viewing.
But now, mysteriously, NBC.com has posted a Web exclusive, "SNL Backstage" Justin Timberlake video in which you can see a few seconds of the dance video skit, along with some banter with Justin and Andy Samberg, his dance partner, talking about the skit and the song. Check it out.
