Today's WoD will be used in the context of last night's episode of Saturday Night Live. For those of you unaware, SNL had Justin Timberlake host for the fifth time, and while I didn't watch the whole thing, there was one particular skit that was so ridiculously clever, I just had to share it.
In JT's opening monologue, he talks about the fact that he is now in the "Fivers Club", and has joined a short list of SNL legends who have also hosted the show five times. In this Fivers Club, the members are offered debonaire smoking jackets, and they sit and laugh about how funny and successful and legendary they all are in TV world. It's hilarious.
I felt the need to share this video with my mother, and when I did and the smoking jacket scene came up, I couldn't help but say, "That's quite a dapper haberdashery". She didn't pay much mind to my fancy word, but it's true. For those of you who haven't seen the opening monologue, here it is, along with a picture for good measure.
