Shawn Edwards sits down with Justin Timberlake and Jason Segel to talk about their best and worst teachers and their roles in the new movie Bad Teacher. Elizabeth Halsey (Cameron Diaz) is a teacher who just doesnapos;t give an F. Sheapos;s foul-mouthed, ruthless, and wildly inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she canapos;t wait to marry her meal ticket and walk away from her day job teaching middle school. When sheapos;s dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) -- competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch) -- but finds herself fighting off the advances of an irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel). Elizabethapos;s outrageous schemes and their wild consequences will shock her students, her coworkers, and even herself. Columbia Pictures presents a Mosaic production, Bad Teacher. Starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch, John Michael Higgins, and Jason Segel. Directed by Jake Kasdan. In addition to JUSTIN TIMBERLAKEapos;s (Scott Delacorte) multi-platinum album FutureSex/LoveSounds, which produced four consecutive #1 singles, his critically acclaimed 2007 FutureSex/LoveShow tour along with multiple Grammy Awards, he has recently garnered acclaim as an actor for a variety of work in both comedy and drama. Timberlake starred in Universalapos;s crime drama Alpha Dog, co-starring Emile Hirsh, Bruce Willis and Sharon Stone. He also starred alongside Christina Ricci and Samuel L. Jackson in Black Snake Moan, for director Craig Brewer. In the summer of 2007, he voiced a lead role in DreamWorksapos; Shrek the Third.

Timberlake will next star in the Screen Gems film Friends with Benefits and in the fall New Regencyapos;s In Time. In addition to movies, he has hosted three memorable episodes of "Saturday Night Live" including the most recent season finale that earned the highest rating for the show in seven years. Several of his "Saturday Night Live" sketches have become viral video sensations, including "D**k in a Box," which not only has been viewed over 100 million times on YouTube but earned Timberlake his first Emmy Award. He won a second Emmy Award in 2009 for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for hosting "SNL." Timberlake has also hosted MTVapos;s Europe Music Awards, Nickelodeonapos;s Kidapos;s Choice Awards, and ESPNapos;s ESPY Awards. JASON SEGEL (Russell Gettis) landed his first major picture starring role as Peter in Universal Picturesapos; Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which he also wrote. Released in 2008, produced by Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson, and directed by Nicholas Stoller, the film went to make over $100 million worldwide. With Segelapos;s writing skills now in demand by many studios, Segel was inspired to fulfill a personal idea and passion by pitching his concept for a Muppet movie. Segel and Stoller would co-write the screenplay for the upcoming film The Muppets, in which Segel also stars. The film will be released by Disney this Thanksgiving. In June 2007, Segel was summoned by Apatow to share the great success of the comedy Knocked Up with stars Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. The film grossed over $140 million dollars domestically and won the Peopleapos;s Choice Award for Favorite Movie Comedy. In 2009, Segel rejoined Rudd in the Paramount film I Love You, Man. John Hamburg (Meet the Parents) worked as writer, director, and producer of the film. Re-collaborating with Stoller in 2010, Segel wrote and co-produced the film Get Him to the Greek, in which Jonah Hill and Russell Brand reunited as co-stars in a spin-off of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The film grossed $88.3 million worldwide and won the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie: Comedy. Segelapos;s feature film credits also include Slackers, The New Jersey Turnpikes, S.L.C. Punk, Canapos;t Hardly Wait, and Dead Man on Campus. On the television front, Segel stars as Marshall opposite Alyson Hannigan, Josh Radnor, and Neil Patrick Harris in the CBS hit comedy series "How I Met Your Mother." This series was touted by Time Magazine, hitting the list as one of the Ten Best Shows of 2005. However, it was his recurring role as Eric on the Apatow-produced show "Undeclared," the FOX series about college freshmen, and named one of Time Magazineapos;s Ten Best Shows of 2001, that first put him in the minds and hearts of television viewers.
