Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon had “Saturday Night Live” fever with the return of “The Barry Gibb Talk Show” this weekend.

The “SNL” musical guest (who played Robin Gibb, the younger brother of fellow Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb) and the “Tonight Show” host (who played Barry Gibb) reunited in the sketch for the first time in over a decade.

Fallon’s Barry Gibb promised a “no nonsense show” before losing his cool on The Nation’s justice correspondent, Elie Mystal (played by Kenan Thompson), when asking about the upcoming presidential election.

“You look like if Don King ate another Don King. I will unhinge my jaw and bite your head off like a goldfish cracker,” Fallon said before he and Timberlake broke into a brief “snack that smiles back” song.

Fallon later vowed to “psychologically destroy” Mystal, adding that he’d replace Mystal’s shoes with an “identical pair of one bigger size,” so he thinks his feet are shrinking.

“I fear nothing; I watched ‘Saltburn’ with my entire family and I knew about the bathtub scene beforehand and I loved it,” Fallon said as he and Timberlake belted out a song about the scene in the style of the Bee Gees.

“Do you have anything to add, Robin?” Fallon asked.

“No, no I don’t,” Timberlake replied.
