Bruno Mars hosted and performed on this weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live."
The insecurities poured out of Bruno Mars.
He stuffed his hands in his pockets. He grabbed for an imaginary blazer button. The singer's voice wavered as he delivered the monologue on this weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live," a logical reaction for a first-time host without comedy or acting experience.
"I've never even done a shampoo commercial before, which is crazy," he said, pointing to his moppy hair.
So Bruno did what he does best, picking up a microphone and sharing his falsetto with the world.
"Will I someday regret this as a terrible mistake?" he sang. "Can I put aside my fears, can I be like Timberlake?"
No, it wasn't a mistake, as Bruno – helped by a hard-hitting presidential debate spoof and appearances by Tom Hanks – delivered a Timberlakian episode full of humor and heart.
Bruno also served as the episode's musical guest, performing songs off of his upcoming album "Unorthodox Jukebox."
The Grammy darling, 27, has been all over the radio the past few years, churning out hit singles such as "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade."
Mars' singing talents carried a Pandora internet radio power outage skit, one of the show's highlights. With the site's music channels unable to stream, the Pandora crew relies on an intern named Devin (Mars) to impersonate popular music acts.
First was Green Day – with Devin screaming gibberish into the microphone, mimicking lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong on "Basket Case."
Aerosmith followed. Then Katy Perry, "mid-Firework." Justin Bieber, for a swanky version of "Boyfriend."
Mars lost composure during his Louis Armstrong impression, a moment of humor amid the music.
"Not your best Devin, not your best buddy," the Pandora boss (Jason Sudeikis) responded. "That's alright."
The Michael Jackson channel was last – a chance for Mars to emulate one of his musical inspirations.
"I can only do Michael if I have the glove," he said.
So a gloved Devin shined on "Billie Jean" – until the user skipped the song.
"Who the hell skips Billie Jean?" the boss asks.
Next was "Man in the Mirror." Another skip. Wha??
Mars sang "Smooth Criminal" – infamous tilt and all, filling the song with nonsense words before another skip.
"They're out of skips," the boss said. "Take us home Devin."
