The actress shared a photo of her from the 'SNL' 40th-anniversary show, held in 2015, noting, "The last time I hosted was right after the SNL 40th. I was actually in the audience for that special."

Pointing to the photo, she highlighted the notable individuals present, including Sarah Palin, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg, and humorously remarked, "And look who's sitting right behind me," as the camera zoomed in to reveal Donald Trump.

Johnson then remarked, "Crazy to be standing so close to someone who would become the most powerful person in America," as the camera zoomed in on Swift, who was sitting in front of the 'Persuasion' actress. 



 

During her monologue, Johnson also recalled working with Timberlake, saying, "Tonight is also a sort of reunion for me and Justin Timberlake. We were actually in a movie together called 'The Social Network'."

This led the musician to join her on stage as the actress quipped, "What are you doing up here, are you lost?"

Timberlake noted that he supposed it was his cue after hearing his voice and offered to help with any sketches after mentioning that he has already hosted 'SNL'. Johnson was quick to remind him that it was "10 years ago."
