Why Justin Timberlake Would Be The PERFECT Harold Hill In NBC's "The Music Man Live"

No seriously. Think about it. Can we get NBC on this right away? If not, there will be trouble with a capital T and that stands for TIMBERLAKE.

In "The Music Man", Harold Hill is a super smooth con-man.

He convinces a town in Iowa to buy the "instruments" he "sells," and then he skips town. Well, that's the plan anyways. Watch the movie.

You know who else is super smooth? JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE.

Ugh, look at how smooth he is.

Harold Hill and JT both rock bow ties HARD.

Killin' the bow tie game.

You got it. Harold Hill.

It's a musical, obviously, so it's a good thing Justin has killer pipes.

Aww yeah, Justin. Sing to me.

JT had made it clear that he doesn't mind acting ridiculous.

He's ONLY hosted SNL 5 times...

But he can handle the serious parts of the musical, too.

Check out his "Serious Face" he demonstrated in Runner Runner!

And I don't think we're worried about how well he'll do the romantic scenes.

He's Justin Timberlake, guys. He'll be just fine with the romantic scenes.

He is already accustomed with the Barbershop Quintet...

Because he joined the Ragtime Gals on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon!

(There's a Barbershop Quartet in The Music Man, too)

So NBC, we KNOW you adore Justin as much as we all do. Do you know the best way for Harold Hill to be super sexy and bring in hella ratings? He should:
