Justin Timberlake is back! The Prince of Pop marked his highly anticipated return with a new project just days after teasing fans about his sixth studio album.

Justin Timberlake Gives Less Enthusiastic Confirmation of World Tour In Comedy Sketch
Timberlake recently appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where he engaged in hilarious banter with the host on his upcoming world tour. The sketch began with the singer promoting her new single “Selfish” before Fallon asked if her solo comeback would involve more performances.
“Um, maybe,” Timberlake replied, looking confused; however, his lackluster response didn’t stop the host from pressing on and asking if he had anything to announce. The Popstar continued to play dumb, stating he was on the show to announce his new album.

“I’m just saying there might be something the audience might want to hear,” Fallon continued before shouting, “If you say the right thing to the people watching at home that they can go to JustinTimberlake.com and get something if they want something.”
“Is there something you would like to announce?” Fallon asked again as a drumroll played in the background. This passionate question wasn’t enough to jog Timberlake’s memory as he still acted confused, wondering what was going on until the host showed him something on his cue card.
“Oh that!” Timberlake recalled before shrugging his shoulders and telling the audience: “Oh yeah, I’m going on tour.” Despite his dry announcement, the crowd went wild with cheers and screams while Fallon couldn’t help but laugh.
The TV host shared this clip of the hilarious moment on X with the caption, “@jtimberlake announces THE FORGET TOMORROW TOMORROW WORLD TOUR! #FallonTonight #TFTWTOUR.”
The post drew mixed responses from fans, with some happy to see Timberlake return as a solo performer since his last album in 2018. Meanwhile, others opposed his comeback due to his controversy with Britney Spears.

Days before Timberlake’s world tour announcement, the 42-year-old surprised fans with his solo comeback at a concert in his hometown of Memphis. He unveiled the single “Selfish” in a surprise live performance on January 19, marking his first solo project since his fifth studio album, 2018’s “Man of the Woods.”

It also features an A-list narrator, Benicio Del Toro, who delivers hilarious monologues as Timberlake drives around the deserted set-up. The trailer ends with the words: “Justin Timberlake Presents: Everything I Thought It Was.”
The silky-smooth 42-year-old’s announcement comes days after teasing her sixth album on Instagram. He uploaded two posts after clearing his account, with the first capturing the acronym “EITIW.”
This post led fans to hunt for Easter eggs to decode their meaning, while other updates promoted the singer’s concert in Memphis, prompting much speculation of Timberlake’s plans for fans.
