@Brother Man its Justin Timberlake, you cannot expect anything more than white chicks that were in love with the dude since N’SYNC.
otherwise, pretty dope video, it is much harder than it looks to rehearse and create that type of skit so well, without much time to prepare.

The Roots have had only white people coming to their shows for the last 12 years. Calm Down people. Maybe it’s because Black people don’t like Fallon’s Ass.

No black people? The tickets are free. Anyone can get them if you reserve them ahead of time no one knows what guests will be on. Grow up people if you want a black man at the show call up and get tickets so we dont have to hear you cry. Not everything is a conspiracy against black people

it wouldve been nice to see some black artist pay homage period. but it seems “white people” care more about our culture anyway. been like this for years, but thats a conversation for another day. at the end of the day its good they did it regardless.
