Justin Timberlake dropped The Late Show With Stephen Colbert where he and the host pondered the unknown in the bit, "Big Questions With Even Bigger Stars." Colbert asked Timberlake , "Do you think it's possible for our subconscious to reveal what we're really thinking about?"

He got his big break with “The All New Mickey Mouse Club," acting with Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell. 

He teamed up with JC Chasez (R), Chris Kirkpatrick (C), Joey Fatone (L) and Lance Bass (2nd L) to form the American boy band *NSYNC. A year later, they released their first single, titled “I Want You Back,” which topped the charts. In 1998, they came out with their debut album “NSYNC,” which featured the hit single “Tearin’ Up My Heart.”

From 1999 to 2002, Timberlake dated Britney Spears. For the 2001 American Music Awards, the couple arrived in matching denim outfits. Though the style wasn't appreciated at the time, it went on to become one of the most talked-about fashion moments in pop culture history.

Late night hosts condemn 'horrifying' Al Franken

Late night TV hosts had quite a few thoughts about Sen. Al Franken on Thursday night's shows. After TV host Leeann Tweeden accused Franken of kissing and groping her without her consent in an article published Thursday morning, hosts including Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Trevor Noah tackled the allegations against the Minnesota senator, with a mix of wry humor and genuine frustration. "Come on, Franken!" Colbert said during his Late Show monologue. “I guess there are no good people left, so let’s just get it over with. Just tell us whatever you did, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, Tom Hanks, Malala." "As a fellow comedian, I have long admired Al Franken," he continued. "But I gotta say, this does not bode well for Louis C.K.'s Senate hopes." On the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon cracked a similar joke to Colbert's about accused sexual predators running for political office. “Radio host Leeann Tweeden came forward and said Sen. Al Franken groped her without her consent, and she posted a photo as evidence,” he said. “In fact, it’s so bad, Franken’s already a frontrunner for president in 2020.” The Daily Show's Trevor Noah was similarly aghast at the news, criticizing the widely-circulated picture of Franken appearing to grope Tweeden while she was asleep. "Al Franken? #YouToo?" he said. "Even if there wasn't a woman in that picture, that pose is its own crime.

Justin Timberlake has revealed to Stephen Colbert the true meaning behind his song ' SexyBack '. Timberlake appeared recently on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where, nestled on a blanket beneath the stars, he revealed the true inspiration .

Justin Timberlake dropped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert , where he and the host pondered the unknown in the bit “Big Questions With Even Bigger Stars.” Colbert asked Timberlake , “Do you think it’s possible for our subconscious to reveal what we’re really thinking about?”

In November, the singer released his debut solo album “Justified,” which featured hit singles “Like I Love You” and “Cry Me a River.” The album earned him a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

In February, Timberlake got the opportunity to perform with Janet Jackson during the half-time show of Super Bowl XXXVIII. During the act, the singer unintentionally tore off a part of Jackson’s dress and her breast was briefly exposed. He later apologized for the accident, saying: “I’m sorry if anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction … it was not intentional and regrettable.”

After the wardrobe malfunction incident, he took a break from singing and starred in his first feature film, “Edison,” alongside Morgan Freeman. The film was supposed to release in 2005 but following the bad reviews, it had direct-to-video release in 2006. He also appeared in other films, including "Alpha Dog" (2006) and "Black Snake Moan" (2006).

Gayle King tells Stephen Colbert 'it's painful' to talk about Charlie Rose

After addressing the sexual misconduct allegations against Charlie Rose on Tuesday’s CBS This Morning, Gayle King appeared on The Late Show to further discuss her former co-host, who was fired shortly following her original comments. Stephen Colbert praised King and Norah O’Donnell for their coverage of the Rose news, which King had described as “deeply disturbing, troubling, and painful.” “That’s what you have to do,” said King, adding that she had considered canceling her previously planned Late Show visit. “To be honest with you, it still isn’t easy. It’s still very painful, it’s still very hurtful. Charlie and I have worked together, been friends, but when you think about the anguish of those women, despite the friendship, you still have to report the news.” A Monday report from The Washington Post featured eight women, who worked or aspired to work for PBS’ Charlie Rose show, claiming Rose groped them, walked around naked in front of them, and made lewd phone calls. The veteran newsman subsequently apologized, admitting he “behaved insensitively at times.” King added she was “wincing” during Colbert’s monologue, which commented on Rose. “You did your job this morning, I did my job tonight,” said the host. King responded, “I thought about that too. It’s interesting, when you were doing the monologue about other people, I’m like, ‘Ha ha ha.’ And then it was Charlie, and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s a friend. I don’t like that, that’s difficult.’ And then I think about what these women were going through… I don’t like that either.
