Response
An uncensored version was made available on the Saturday Night Live website after the show was aired. It features the same audience response track, as the short was aired uncensored to the in-studio audience.
NBC added the video to YouTube, where it received more than 28 million views. At least 18 additional copies were also posted to various YouTube and Google Video accounts, bringing the total views to over 35.3 million. On October 21, 2007, NBC took down its YouTube channel in preparation for the launch of Hulu.
On December 22, 2006, the Parents Television Council called on NBC to "rethink its decision to post an uncensored version of a Saturday Night Live sketch on both its own website and YouTube". When the sketch aired on SNL, NBC bleeped out the word dick a total of 16 times.
Some radio stations played the edited version (called "Junk in a Box") as an unofficial single by Timberlake. The version used was recorded from the SNL broadcast.
The song won a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. After being notified of his Emmy win, Timberlake performed the song at his concert at the Tacoma Dome in Washington.
