From Craft Services to Collaboration: Micky Dolenz's Encounter with Justin Timberlake on the Set of 'Boy Meets World
In a recent episode of the podcast "Pod Meets World," hosted by Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong, it was revealed that Micky Dolenz, drummer and singer of the 1960s band The Monkees, had an interesting encounter with Justin Timberlake of *NSYNC on the set of the TV show "Boy Meets World." Dolenz directed an episode featuring his former bandmates Peter Tork and Davy Jones, and *NSYNC made a guest appearance in a different episode. Timberlake expressed reluctance about the idea of a TV show featuring the band, but Dolenz challenged him with a simple question: "Why not?"
The interaction between Dolenz and Timberlake took place at craft services, where Timberlake shared his reservations about the idea of a TV show featuring *NSYNC. Dolenz's response, "Why not?" seemed to catch Timberlake off guard, and he backtracked, trying to explain his hesitation while also leaving the door open to the possibility.
Timberlake, who recently disclosed his battle with Lyme disease during his Forget Tomorrow world tour, seemed to reconsider his stance on the TV show idea after his encounter with Dolenz. The podcast episode featuring this story can be listened to for more details on the interaction between the two musicians.
