After performing at the Super Bowl halftime show twice before, Justin Timberlake is now the headliner, the NFL and Timberlake announced Sunday.
As the headliner for Super Bowl LII, Timberlake has two goals for his solo performance at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis — first, to unify and second, to see Al Michaels dance.
"I feel like that would be the ultimate accomplishment, and then the icing on the cake is at some point, within that 12 minutes, that everybody is shaking their booty," Timberlake said in an interview to NBC's Mike Tirico. "I have a goal to make (NBC broadcaster) Al Michaels dance.
“So Al Michaels, if we can get you to shake your booty at the Super Bowl halftime show. By the way, we can start that hashtag — #AlMichaelsShakeYourBooty. That would be the icing on the cake.”
Super Bowl LII will be held on Feb. 4 and will be broadcast on NBC.
