2008 ESPYs - Justin Timberlake Opening Monologue

Justin Timberlake - host of the 2008 EPSY Awards - brings his opening and, surprisingly funny, monologue.

[@Redheadeddude41]

I feel like everyone is afraid to admit they think Justin Timberlake should be the host on every award show. He pretty much killed it at the espys. I wish he would host more.

[@sonyathescenegirl7018]

Me too

[@sonyathescenegirl7018]

Redheadeddude41 either that or Adam Levine

[@GreenlightBze]

But that’s not fun . Switch it up

[@00Aroha]

He ain’t even funny. He looks uncomfortable

[@anthonysmith394]

100 %

[@SpencerKelly93]

Strahan's reaction to the Eli jokes were classic.

[@OptimusPrime571]

One of the most interesting thing about this was reading the bottom line and seeing What was happening back then.

[@austenrobinson2747]

Dude is a legend. Actor,singer,songwriter. Love JT

[@khimsdm]

Eli's wife's reaction to JT's "naked" comment.

[@Zagarspupil]

+23whiz Eli Manning was very publicly adamant that he was going to be a virgin until after marriage. Since winning the Super Bowl, he and his fiancé married some time before the 2008 ESPYS.

[@Checkplusplus]

+Kolbe Disselkamp when did Eli ever say he was gonna be a virgin until marriage?

[@idolrocks9017]

When?

[@Cmcoluch]

Strahan behind him was dying

The only ESPYs I watched just to see the great and amazing JT

[@ethanz3837]

Actor, singer, host, he is as versatile as it gets.

[@wade5941]

JT definitely the best host.

[@jasonortiz3066]

This is still the best Espys ive seen

[@TheDragonbeam]

JT was probably the last ESPYS host that was funny

[@SkyHigh5280]

Jon Hamm was pretty good

[@jashimmolowi3350]

SkyHigh5280 also drake was good eh?

[@kerrytuan615]

I really like how excellent music can have an impact on me, this song certainly made it! *watch?v=ywhvj7UaDHo* Adore her voice! Go to the youtube URL

[@JoeL-mu2ig]

It's because he has TALENT

[@TheDragonbeam]

***** I thought he was kind of corny, especially the monologue.

[@PunjabiPiccolo]

Way better than I thought it'd be! JT needs to host more events 💯

[@theajroseshow]

As a diehard Boston sports fan, watching this brought back the memories of that year. From the Patriots' colossal choke, to the Celtics beating the Lakers for banner 17. Talk about the best of both worlds. And on another note, JT is an excellent host. He should do this again.

[@FeartheCyr611]

[@abraarjibril4578]

come on man, lets all just give Justin his props for killing it. I'm not gonna lie, I was sceptical at first, but the boy is solid, his a proffesional. na' mean?

[@mathewparrett]

wut?

[@bealgates8594]

Bruh he was an actor first lol

[@texmexman1]

pure entertainer they need to have him as the 2012 host

[@Praestantia]

Aaron Rodgers was Brett Favre's backup for the some few years and when Brett "retired", Aaron thought he was going to be a new starter. But Brett Favre wanted to play again and so Aaron stayed as the backup. Justin Timberlake felt Aaron Rodgers needed a hug XD

[@reference1991]

KG earned that championship he was carrin the Tims here in MN so i was glad when he had a better chance JT is Hilarious

[@joesanders9781]

One of the best monologues 😂
