I was 12 years old when this happened. It was the funniest thingI had ever seen. 10 years later I've always remembered this performance andits still hilarious.
EXCELLANCE WATCH JAMES BROWNS FEET WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS THATS THE FOOT WORK THAT CREATEDMICHEAL JACKSON PRINCE USHER CHRIS BROWN AND ON AND ON TRULY A LEGEND
probably the best all time show opener I've ever seen.... Super funny.... Would love to see Jimmy and Timberlake host the show one time together and open a scene just like that..
@MANIABRIT Or when she lost Best Choreography *facepalm*. I swear MTV's snubbed her all her career yet she gave them some of their most iconic performances.
last good VMa's IMO Fallon was great and all the performances were awesome. him and chis rock wer 2 of the best hosts around that time. 9/9/99 and this one were my personal 2 favorites.
I honestly don't think this was the funniest performance by a host in VMA history, but it was just so free-spirited and so damn fun, you couldn't deny how awesome it was.
WHERE I CAN FIND A VIDEO FROM THE MOMENT WHEN PINK RECEIVES HER AWARD AT MTV AWARDS 2002 AND SHE SAYS "IM TOO DRUNK FOR THIS?" ANYBODY KNOWS? ITS SO FUNNY
omg i was doubled over crying during the dave matthews band part! one of the last times dave got any love from mtv and it was all thanks to jimmy.... jimmy you're the best!!!
have this on VHS from 2002---i thought it was brilliant then... just watched it again now, i'm crying from laughing so hard. LONG LIVE JIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is how you're suppose to make fun of celebrities-- not use cruel jokes!
@summer3262 Yeah songs like 'Hot In Here' right...lol. What do you mean 'when'? This is 2002, not much of a difference from than to now. People really need to take off the rose colored glasses...
@thefloacist ..To start, I don't wear glasses..If I did, they sure as hell wouldn't be Rose colored. They would be black Prada sun glasses. As for as you stating 2011, is the same in music back in 2002? No. Thier is a Vast diiffrence!
Ah back when music was actually worth listening to...
