“Look at this group of people: Sarah Palin, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and look who's sitting right behind me,” she said as she approached a smiling Donald Trump — nearly two years before he won the 2016 presidential election.

“Justin what are you doing here? Are you lost?” Johnson demanded to know. Timberlake admitted he heard his name mentioned and thought that was his exit signal. The actress reminded Timberlake that he was just a “musical guest” — and subtly mocked his latest attempt at a pop music “comeback.” .
