The 50th anniversary special of "Saturday Night Live" doesn't happen until Sunday night, live at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt on both NBC and Peacock, but the festivities kicked off early on Friday, just in time to show "SNL" some love on Valentine's Day.
Along with the recently released spectacular documentary series looking back at the history of "SNL," Peacock aired a livestream of "SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert," a star-studded event that unfolded live in New York City at Radio City Music Hall on February 14. Not only did the special event bring together some of the biggest musical acts from the five-decade history of the late night sketch comedy series, from Cher to Lady Gaga to Jack White and more, but it featured some of the show's cast members doing musical bits -- not to mention a stunning array of celebrities just having a good time watching the eclectic music line-up.

The Backstreet Boys just delivered a live rendition of their 1999 hit “I Want It That Way” with a little help from … Jerry Seinfeld?!
The one-of-a-kind performance took place during the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert on Friday night. Original boyband members Aj McLean, Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, and Brian Littrell performed for a packed house including former Saturday Night Live cast members, hosts, and musical guests.
Near the end of “I Want It That Way,” Littrell ran into the A-list audience and stuck his microphone in front of Seinfeld’s face. To the surprise of many, the 70-year-old comedian started singing the lyrics along with Littrell — and yes, Seinfeld even appeared to know all of the words.

There’s something I need to put out in the open at the outset. The infamous Lou Perlman, the focal point of Netflix’s latest docuseries Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam, died in 2016, eight years prior to the release. There is real footage of Perlman that has been used in the documentary, but his words are AI-generated. They’re from Perlman’s autobiography Band, Brands & Billions alright, but it’s still not the man actually talking. Sure, the makers are entitled to take such artistic liberties, but this feels like cheating to me. We’re going to address this later, but first, let us look into what the three-part docuseries is all about.
What Happens in the Documentary?
“Backstreet Boys” and “NSync” are some of the most popular nineties boy bands known all over the world, but how many of you know the man who was orchestrating the show?...

From "I Want It That Way" to "I'll Never Break Your Heart," the Backstreet Boys are known for their hit love songs, but what do their personal love lives look like? Over the years, all five members of the group - Aj McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Brian Littrell - have gotten married and started families of their own.
Most of the band members actually have really sweet stories of how they met their wives. One of them actually met their significant other on the set of a Backstreet Boys music video, while another met his wife before Backstreet Boys fame when he was still working at Disney World. And apparently, tours are now often family affairs.
"We have a family room backstage for the family and the wives and the kids to hang out in," Richardson told People in 2018. "It used to be the VIP room,...

A very Backstreet Christmas indeed! Hot on the heels of their holiday hit “Last Christmas” topping the charts, the Backstreet Boys celebrated the official launch of their Christmas record, A Very Backstreet Christmas, in Los Angeles.
During a swanky private event at the Sls Hotel Beverly Hills on Thursday, the Grammy-nominated quintet mingled with elves, posed with contest winners in a giant Christmas gift box and thanked “the best fans in the world” for 29 years of undying support.
“A big, big massive shout-out to all of our fans,” said Aj McLean, 44. “Without you guys, the Backstreet Boys would not be here today. You are true extension of our family, you are friends, you are our true Bsb army and as Howie would — what do you always say, Howie?”
“You keep the Backstreet pride alive!” Howie Dorough, 49, responded.

The Backstreet Boys’ upcoming holiday special will be filled with familiar faces. Seth Rogen will narrate “A Very Backstreet Holiday” on ABC, while Meghan Trainor, Rob Riggle, Nikki Glaser, Ron Funches and Atsuko Okatsuka are all scheduled to make appearances.
Rogen first met the band in 2013 when he invited them to be a part of “This Is the End,” the comedy he wrote, produced and starred in.
“I stayed in touch with Seth after we shot ‘This Is the End’,” Aj McLean tells Variety. “We collectively — us and ABC — have been reaching out to special guests and putting together our dream list to see who was available. Seth was into it! We haven’t even heard what he does as the narrator.”
Bsb also worked with Rogen on his charity, Hilarity for Charity, which raises money for Alzheimer’s. “He was like, ‘If you guys ever need anything, let me know,...

The Backstreet Boys have been pop music sex symbols for 30 years, so it makes sense that MeUndies tapped them to be the faces behind their holiday collection. And the fact that this year marks the release of Bsb’s first-ever Christmas album, A Very Backstreet Christmas, makes the two an even more perfect pair.

Emotions ran high as Backstreet Boys paid tribute to their bandmate Nick Carter’s younger brother Aaron Carter during their recent concert in London. Before performing “Breathe,” A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell, and Howie Dorough held Carter as photos of his brother, who died Saturday at age 34, flashed across the screen in the O2 Arena.
“The next song is about family,” Bsb’s Kevin Richardson told the audience. “We all grew up together. We’ve been through highs and lows, ups and downs, you guys have been through it with us.

Aaron Carter was found dead in his home on Saturday, Nov. 5, and his brother Nick Carter performed in London with the Backstreet Boys where his emotions were on full display.
As the group performed the song “No Place” during their appearance at The O2 Arena, images of Nick and Aaron appeared on the big screens. After the group finished their performance, Kevin Richardson took a moment to address the audience.
“That was the very last single of the ‘DNA’ album and that song is very special to us because it’s about family,” he said as the audience shouted their support for Nick.
Richardson continued to thank the public in attendance and at one moment Aj McLean approached Nick to give him a hug with Brian Littrell joining after.

Why isn’t “The Masked Singer” on tonight, Wednesday, November 24? Due to the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the Group A Finals will take place next week instead, on Wednesday, December 1. That’s when Bull and Skunk will compete against each other to win a spot in the Season 6 finale. (Fox’s “Alter Ego” is also delayed for one week.) Unlike past editions of “Tms,” this season’s two groups have been kept completely apart from each other, so much so that they won’t meet up until the final episode — that’s when the winner of the Group A Finals (Bull or Skunk) will compete against the winner of the Group B Finals (Queen of Hearts or Banana Split).

The Group B semi-finals took place on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” with two performers unmasking in front of America. After the Mallard was revealed to be “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson, Caterpillar lost his head and was exposed as Emmy-nominated “Queer Eye” co-host Bobby Berk. Despite impressing the panel with his performance of “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks, Bobby wasn’t able to take down Banana Split or Queen of Hearts, who will now compete in the Group B finals.

After nailing his cover of the Phil Collins classic “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now”) on the Week 8 episode, the Piglet heads into the May 12 quarterfinals as the frontrunner to win season 5 of “The Masked Singer.” We’ve been a fan of his since he made his debut in Week 2 with his version of the Dan + Shay hit “Speechless.”
We’ve been sure about the real name of the Piglet since that first appearance. We concur with the four judges that the Piglet got his start in a boy band. However we don’t think he is Lance Bass, Brian Littrell, Aj McLean or Kevin Richardson.
Each time he has performed since, we became even more convinced we were right with our guess about the Piglet’s true identity. We went back and watched all his performances including “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)” by Andy Grammer...
