Delete Subject is not notable outside of the show on which it is featured. Article information is mostly trivial and not encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. –Dream out loud (talk) 01:06, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A book called The War for Late Night: When Leno Went Early and Television Went Crazy, describes Jimmy Fallon's performance in the skit as "perhaps most memorably, a perpetually pissed-off, dead-on Barry Gibb, who hosted his own irrationally enraged talk show with his brother Robin (played with equally devastating accuracy by Justin Timberlake)". MTV wrote "Maybe folks were surprised when Justin Timberlake hosted "Saturday Night Live" in 2003 and slayed the crowd alongside Jimmy Fallon during "The Barry Gibb Talk Show." Three weeks ago, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer] called the skit "memorable". Entertainment Weekly called the skit "still the funniest thing Jimmy Fallon has ever done". MTV reported that Justin Timberlake won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his guest-stint on "Saturday Night Live" in 2009. That Timberlake appearance featured an episode of the Barry Gibb Talk Show. Cullen328 (talk) 05:56, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is one of the show's more memorable sketches and deserves a page. It wouldn't make sense to delete this page when some not as memorable sketches have pages. Cleo20 (talk) 22:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
