Thursday’s “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” features performances by Backstreet Boys.
No, the word “performances” does not appear in error. The iconic boy band delivers two songs on Thursday’s edition of the popular late-night talk show.
One performance — that of new single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” — takes place on the conventional “Tonight Show” stage.
The other takes place in the “Tonight Show Music Room.” Accompanied by The Roots and Jimmy Fallon, Backstreet Boys perform their classic “I Want It That Way” with classroom instruments.
Taped earlier Thursday, the episode also features appearances by Amy Adams and Rob Reiner.
