Justin Timberlake Is Taking Over Thanksgiving — and “SexyBack” Turns 20
Justin Timberlake is taking over your Thanksgiving night. The pop superstar will be the featured guest on a special Thanksgiving-night episode of NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, Nov. 26, at 11:35 p.m. ET, streaming the next day on Peacock. The episode celebrates the 20th anniversary of Timberlake’s 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds — the record that gave us “SexyBack,” “My Love,” and “What Goes Around… Comes Around.” Timberlake will perform from the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center, the first time The Tonight Show has ever broadcast from that iconic venue. It’s his first appearance on the show in more than two years — his last visit was Sept. 16, 2024 — and his 13th overall. NBC announced the special on Nov. 10. So once the turkey’s gone and the dishes are done, Toledo, you’ve got plans: Timberlake, Fallon, and 20 years of FutureSex/LoveSounds, live from the top of Rockefeller Center.
