This year Justin "WHITEBOY " Timberlake hosted the 16th annual ESPYs. The two hour event was held at the new NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE, a 7,100 seat venue located Los Angeles.  Also...While hosting the 2008 ESPY Awards, Justin Timberlake was met with silence after having a racist moment.

UMmmmm?

ESPN had to edit Justin Timberlake’s opening ESPY night monologue.  He was reportedly teasing Boston Celtics basketball player Paul Pierce about his injured knee in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. In describing how Pierce quickly came back, Justin joked that Pierce was back on the court, “shucking and jiving.”  The comment was cut out of the aired broadcasting, which was met with silence from the crowd when the show taped on Wednesday.

On another note....
