JT/Associated Press
Justin Timberlake was the master of ceremonies Thursday, June 18, 2009 for a charity luncheon at he Pierre Hotel in New York. The UJA Federation of New York’s Entertainment, Media & Communications Division honored RCA/Jive Label Group President Barry Weiss. Weiss was honored by the UJA-Federation as the group's music visionary of the year.
 
JT had the attendees in stitches with his comedic talent that included plenty of Jewish humor. He also razzed Barry about his advice regarding one of Timberlake's songs before it was released.
 
"If I remember correctly — and trust me I do — “ Barry said, “That song is not what people want from you, Justin ... That song is not going to sell," when simultaneously,  one of his biggest hits "SexyBack," started blaring from the speakers. Justin recanted by saying Barry was: "just jealous, he wanted to be the one bringing sexy back."
 
Academy award winning actor, Jamie Foxx, was the special guest performer who wowed the crowd with his rendition of "Georgia on My Mind," a classic hit by Ray Charles, for whose portrayal Foxx brought home the Oscar in the hit film “Ray.”
