Justin Timberlake Saturday Night Live Ratings: Huge!

This just in: Justin Timberlake is a beloved Saturday Night Live host.

The superstar - who hosted the sketch show last night and performed as its musical guest - carried SNL to its biggest ratings since Charles Barkley emceed in January 2012.

And for good reason.

Timberlake joined the exclusive five-time hosting club at the outset of the evening, which included a bit about Hugo Chavez dying and featured such A-listers as Steve Martin, Tom Hanks and Chevy Chase.

He then starred in an ad for Moet & Chandon, donned a giant tofu costume and, best of all, did NOT appear in a Californians skit.

Did you tune in? What did you think of JT as host?
