Goofing around with pal Jimmy Fallon, Timberlake asked in a faux-accent, “Excuse me sir, do you have the time?” “I was going to ask you, sir, if you have the time,” retorted Fallon. Timberlake responded, “I do have the time.” The silly exchange continued, with Fallon asking, “You do have time?” Timberlake said, “I do have time.” Eventually, the word games ended with Fallon excitedly prodding his friend, “You’re doing the halftime show at the Super Bowl?” With that, the “Can’t Stop the Feeling” singer gave a sly look at the camera. Last month, Variety reported that the singer was the frontrunner to headline the halftime show on Feb. 4, 2018.

Since then, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna have taken the halftime stage.
