*NSYNC warmed fans’ hearts when they reunited at the MTV VMAs last week, with group members JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Justin Timberlake presenting an award to Taylor Swift — who revealed herself to e an *NSYNC superfan.
The group subsequently announced they were set to release their first new single in more than two decades, “Better Place”, which will appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming animated sequel “Trolls Band Together”.
“I just know what we’re in for, man.”
That’s not all they’re doing together. On Tuesday, the members of *NSYNC appeared together in some brief promos for “Hot Ones”, revealing they’ll be appearing in an upcoming episode of the off-kilter talk show in which guests respond to questions — usually through tears — while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings.
“Hi, we’re *NSYNC,” the group members say in unison before breaking out into laughter.
“Except for Justin,” says Chasez. “He’s not used to this.”
“I just know what we’re in for, man,” says Timberlake, shaking his head ruefully.

Another promo follows, with the members once again introducing themselves in unison.
“And we’re gonna be on ‘Hot Ones’ this week,” says Timberlake.
“Check it out,” Bass interjects.
“Some of us were dumb enough to come back again,” Timberlake adds.
