The Barry Gibb Talk Show is recurring sketch on Saturday Night Live about a talk show starring Barry Gibb, lead singer for the Bee Gees, a popular disco band of the 1970's and his brother, Robin Gibb. It starred Jimmy Fallon as Barry Gibb and Justin Timberlake as Robin Gibb. It is characterized by Barry Gibb's staccato voice, used throughout most of the sketch and his extremely short temper and readiness to verbally berate his guests, which are usually figures in current politics. The interaction between Barry and Robin is also memorable such as Robin's lacklustre responses to Barry's questions and their call and response falsetto singing, particularly in the opening and closing credits.

Currently, only two episodes of The Barry Gibb Talk Show were filmed:

October 11th, 2003

Justin Timberlake hosted and performed as the musical guest. It was this episode on which The Barry Gibb Talk Show debuted. Barry's guests included Al Franken, Arianna Huffington and Cruz Bustamonte, former lieutenant governer of California. At the time, both Huffington and Bustamonte were running for the title of Governor of California admist the recall election that eventually ousted Gary Condit. A full transcript of the episode can be found here. The show is memorable for Timberlake's inability to maintain a straight face during Fallon's rantings. He can be seen occasionally lowering his head in an attempt to disguise his laughter.

April 9th, 2005

In this episode, Cameron Diaz was the host but at the time, was dating Timberlake who made his second appearance as Robin on The Barry Gibb Talk Show. This time, Barry's guests were Nancy Pelosi, Anne Coulter and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Devoted fans will notice that Fallon's falsetto was a bit off, as he constantly reverted back to his original voice but ultimately, he draws the same reaction from Timberlake who is again forced to lower his head.
