Justin Timberlake surprised the sold-out crowd at Madison Square Gardens in New York City on Wednesday night (February 7) when he performed a surprise encore with actor Andy Samberg.

The pair performed their song 'Dick In A Box', which was first screened in December on 'Saturday Night Live'.

The video was viewed over 13 million times within days of it being uploaded to Youtube.

The pair donned gift-boxes attached to their crotches for the performance.

Timberlake is currently on tour in the US, finishing at the end of March in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He kicks off an arena tour of the UK in Sheffield on April 27.

‘Saturday Night Live’ has been a staple of US television since 1975, and is responsible for launching the careers of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell and more.
