01:55 Jungkook stays smooth like butter. He paired up with Usher for a remix to his single "Standing

05:20 We're partnering with Talk Shop Live all week long, and yesterday we had Garth Brooks live from Las Vegas.
05:26 In the segment, a fan asked the country superstar if he could elaborate on his cameo in the upcoming This Is Final Tap sequel featuring Paul McCartney and Elton John, and he had this to say.
05:36 No. Can't say anything about it. Because it's not my deal. If it was my deal, I'd spill my guts, but it's not. So they swear you to secrecy and to silence.
05:50 You are so wild. I will tell you this, though. If you think you have laughed before, jibbity Christmas. First of all, I was in love with Final Tap. Love with the original movie. The fact that it's coming back, it's just, it's going to be neat to get to be a part of this, because it's history.
