New Kids on the Block to Appear on Today Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-01-2008, 02:48 PM

Looks like the Today show's got the right stuff: All five original New Kids on the Block members – Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight – will appear together in the morning show's courtyard on April 4, a source tells PEOPLE.

After months of speculation, PEOPLE confirmed in January that the band is reuniting – just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their mega-hit album Hangin' Tough. The group also recently updated its Web site, nkotb.com.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994. Since then, the oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, 39, retreated back to Boston to become a real estate developer. Former members Wahlberg, 38, and McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Jordan Knight, 37, has continued to record.

Haha, I remember them when I was a kid and I always thought that Danny Wood is the ugliest kid on the block

the big question is... why now?

a NKOTB reunion would've been massive had they done it around 1999 or so, when Backstreet, N'Sync, 98 Degrees and everyone else was at the top of their game. There was the window of opportunity for NKOTB to come back, and yet nothing happened. Now... BSB are labelless and Justin and Nick Lachey would rather be shot than do N'Sync/98 Degrees reunions and NKOTB, all pushing 40, decide it's time to dust off the acid-washed jeans?

I'll be getting tickets for sure. The Van Halen reunion with David Lee Roth can't hold a candle to a New Kids reunion.

this is the closest the world will ever get to a Beatles reunion for damn sure

I am sure dates will be cancelled to the left and right because everyone is so sure the tour is already sold out that they don't bother buying tickets for themselves

I've heard that Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones are afraid to reunite for a world tour because they are worried that their tour will not sell as well as a New Kids reunion.
