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.

Famous quotes containing the word response:
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
“... the most extreme conditions require the most extreme response, and for some individuals, the call to that response is vitality itself.... The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
“There is ... but one response possible from us: Force, Force to the uttermost, Force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant Force which shall make Right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
