Given an all-star guest listthat includes Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Arcade Fire and Jack White, the Backstreet Boys were a surprise addition to the star-packed Saturday Night Live40th anniversary special. However, it turns out they might not be the only Nineties boy band that could make an appearance on SNL 40: NSynchas hinted that they will reunite for the epic SNL celebration.
The boy bands official Twitter wrotethis afternoon, Together again Gee, its good to be together again, a nod to the quintets 1997 single. The tweet was hashtagged #SNL40, the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special thats set to air Sunday night on NBC.
Justin Timberlake, aformer NSync member and one of SNLs best guest host double-threats, was among the initial wave of actors and musicians thatjoined the special. Timberlake last reunited with his Bye Bye Bye mateswhen he was given the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
Earlier this week, Timberlake posted a photoon Instagram of an SNL 40 writing session where he promised Jimmy Fallon is onto something funny We think. After getting the Saved By the Bell cast back together, perhaps an NSync reunion is now part of The Tonight Show hosts plans.
More evidence that an NSync reunion could be happening (weather permitting): Chris Kirkpatrick tweetedthat his early flight to NYC today was canceled. Hopefully Kirkpatrick can hop another plane before the Saturday Night Live 40th anniversary special airs Sunday night at 8 p.m. EST.
