SEATTLE, July 17 (UPI) -- Seattle coffee giant Starbucks is teaming up with NBC to sell a compilation of "Saturday Night Live" skits on DVD.

"Saturday Night Live: The Best of '06-'07" is expected to debut exclusively in Starbucks stores in August, Variety reported. The exclusive DVD deal is the first with a retailer for NBC Universal Television Distribution. Starbuck's entertainment division handled the negotiations for the upscale coffee retailer.

The complication also will feature the "Black Tie" episode of NBC's "30 Rock" and previously unseen footage from both shows, including an uncensored version of Justin Timberlake's "SNL" sketch about a very personal gift from a man.

"We recognize that it's a changing marketplace, and Starbucks offers a unique opportunity to reach our audience in a new way," said Shelli Hill, vice president for video, music and product development for NBC Universal Television Distribution.
