Kenny Loggins stopped by The Tonight Show Wednesday, where he put a new spin on some of his classic tunes.
Loggins joined host Jimmy Fallon and The Roots to perform a medley of his songs in a Classroom Instruments segment, including such tracks as “I’m Alright,” which appeared in the movie Caddyshack; “Danger Zone,” from Top Gun; the Loggins and Messina tune “Your Mama Don’t Dance”; and “Footloose.”
But before they broke into “Footloose” they were interrupted by actor John Lithgow, who channeled his Footloose character of Reverend Shaw Moore and objected to the music. Kevin Bacon, who played Ren McCormack in the film, popped up to declare, “I thought this was supposed to be a party, let’s dance.”
Loggins’ appearance comes ahead of his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday in New York City. Other performers being inducted this year include KISS’ Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Taylor Swift and Alanis Morissette.

Slow Horses is hoofing it to season 6.
The Apple TV spy drama will return for its six-episode sixth season on Sept. 16 and air week to week until Oct. 21.
Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, a British intelligence agent and head of MI5, known as Slough House — a dumping ground for reject agents. The series also stars Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jonathan Pryce.
The sixth season will see the Slow Horses on the run as they become embroiled in a “fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge.” Apple TV also released first-look images from the new episodes.
Slow Horses is based on the Slough House books by Mick Herron. The new season is adapted from the sixth and seventh books in the series, Joe Country and Slough House.
The Emmy-winning show scored an early season 7 renewal last year, before season 5 even aired.

When The Strokes announced a U.S. tour in April, the schedule didn’t include a stop in the band’s hometown of New York City. Now, that oversight has been rectified.
Julian Casablancas and company will headline Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York, on Oct. 2. The bill will also include fellow NYC indie staple TV on the Radio, as well as Beach House and Fcukers.
You can register now for a presale happening June 17 at 10 a.m. ET. Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 18 at 10 a.m. ET.
The Strokes’ tour launches Friday with a set at Bonnaroo. They’ll be supporting their upcoming album, Reality Awaits, due out June 26.
If you attend any of the shows, you may not see guitarist Nick Valensi onstage. The Strokes announced in May that Valensi was “taking a temporary break” from touring.

It turns out Olivia Rodrigo’s love of rock music runs in the family.
The “drivers license” star, who’s long expressed her love for bands including The White Stripes, Weezer and The Cure, said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday that her mom skipped her headlining set at Lollapalooza to see Korn instead.
“My mom likes like so many crazy metal bands,” Rodrigo told Jimmy Kimmel.
When Rodrigo headlined Lolla in 2025, her set was in direct conflict with Korn’s, which was happening at the same time on another stage at a different end of the festival. At first, Rodrigo thought that was a smart scheduling decision, since she figured the middle of the Venn diagram between Livies and “Freak on a Leash” fans was probably pretty small.
“Everyone’s, like, ‘Oh, that’s perfect!'” Rodrigo said. “The Olivia fans will see go see Olivia, the Korn fans will go see Korn, there’s really no overlap.”
“But there was one overlap,” she continued. “It was my mom. My mom, my mom skipped my show to go see Korn.”
Rodrigo added that she gave her blessing for her mom to go headbang to “Blind” instead of watching her own daughter headline Lollapalooza.
“I’m happy she got her night,” Rodrigo said.
Now we need to know what Rodrigo’s mom thinks of the new Korn single, “Reward the Scars.”
Sting, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and Dire Straits were among the artists who performed at the 70th birthday tribute concert for anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela.
The concert took place at London’s Wembley Stadium and also featured performances by Simple Minds, Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams, Peter Gabriel, Steven Van Zandt, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Tracy Chapman, George Michael, Eurythmics and more.
The concert was broadcast to over 60 countries, with an estimated 600 million people tuning in.
Mandela was still imprisoned in South Africa at the time of the concert. He was later released in February 1990. A second concert celebrating his release, Nelson Mandela: An International Tribute for a Free South Africa, took place at Wembley in April 1990.
(NEW YORK) — Dangerously high temperatures and humidity are prompting heat advisories from the East Coast to the Midwest to the West Coast.
Here’s the latest forecast:
In California’s Bay Area, a heat advisory is in effect Thursday in San Jose, Oakland and Freemont, with temperatures forecast to hit 103 degrees.
California’s Central Valley is also under a heat advisory for temperatures up to 105 degrees in Bakersfield and Fresno from Thursday to Saturday.
In the Midwest, heat advisories are in effect Thursday from Detroit to South Bend, Indiana, to Cleveland, where the heat index — what temperature it feels like — is expected to near 100 degrees.
And in the Northeast, a heat advisory spans a massive area from Burlington, Vermont, to Wilmington, Delaware, on Thursday and Friday.
The heat index on Thursday could hit 99 degrees in New York City and 103 in Baltimore.
On Friday, the heat index is forecast to soar to 101 degrees in New York City, 104 degrees in Philadelphia, 102 in Washington, D.C., and 107 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Record highs are possible in New York, D.C. and Raleigh.
Commuters in the Northeast should also be prepared for severe thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday evenings.

(NEW YORK) — The detection of New World screwworm in cattle does not pose a risk to beef consumers, and humans are unlikely to become infected by the parasite themselves, experts told ABC News.
There have been a total of six cases of New World screwworm (NWS) detected among animals in the U.S. since the beginning of the month — in four cattle, one goat and a dog, according to the latest update from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The goat was newly confirmed as the latest case to be infested with New World screwworm, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said in a press conference Monday.
The screwworm likely migrated from Mexico and Central America, Ben Weinheimer, president and CEO of the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, told ABC News. The U.S. closed the border to Mexican cattle coming into the country in 2024 as a result of the screwworm outbreak in the region, Derrell Peele, a livestock marketing specialist at Oklahoma State University, told ABC News.
Officials continue to investigate the case of the dog that they believe likely may have been infected in Mexico, Rollins said. The screwworm typically spreads by transport of either livestock or pets, Peele said.
The screwworm does not currently present a food safety issue, Rollins said, adding that there is “no need to panic.” A screwworm infection does not affect the meat, Peele said.
“These developments obviously represent a serious threat to our livestock and wildlife, but they haven’t caught us off guard,” Rollins said. “We have been tracking this pest for a long time, and we have fought before, and we will do so again.”
Americans can continue to feel confident about consuming beef safely, Dustin Pendell, a professor of agricultural economics at Kansas State University and director of the Collaborating Center for the Economics of Animal Health, told ABC News.
The outbreak marks the first time the screwworm has been detected in the U.S. in decades. The USDA officially declared the screwworm eradicated from the U.S. in 1966 and successfully eliminated a small outbreak in the Florida Keys in 2017, which occurred primarily among endangered Key deer.
Screwworms infestations begin when a female fly lays eggs on open wounds or other parts of the body in live-warm-blooded animals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The screwworm is “very treatable” if caught early, which allows the animals to be minimally impacted, Weinheimer said.
The USDA uses the sterile insect technique to treat for screwworm. The highly effective treatment involves sterilizing screwworm pupae — the immobile stage of the screwworm before metamorphosis — by exposing them to gamma radiation and then releasing them into the wild to mate with fertile females. The females then lay unfertilized eggs that never hatch, ending the reproductive cycle.
Millions of sterile flies have already been released in the affected area, USDA officials said.
State officials also apply containment protocols, including establishing quarantine zones, in order to contain infestations, Weinheimer said.
“You’ve seen this huge surge in response by the federal and state officials to stay on top of it as much as possible,” Weinheimer said.
Construction of a new sterile fly production facility is underway at Moore Air Base in Texas and is expected to be completed by November 2027, Rollins said. Once completed, along with other facilities, an estimated 500 million sterile flies will be released on a weekly basis.
Screwworms are actually a fly larva that burrows into and eats living flesh, unlike regular maggots that only feed on dead and decaying matter, according to the CDC.
Symptoms in animals could include a wound that has not healed or a wound that smells foul, Ann Hohenhaus, senior veterinarian and director of pet health information at Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, told ABC News last week. White larva may also be visible within the skin lesions, Hohenhaus said.
Infected cattle may not feel well and may stop producing milk and gaining weight, Hohenhaus said. The parasite can also infect a herd quickly if treatment does not begin early enough, she added.
Infection in humans is not common, Hohenhaus said.
People who have open wounds or small breaks in the skin — such as a scratch, insect bite or recent surgery scar — could be at increased risk of screwworm infection if they are in areas where the flies are present, according to the CDC.
Those who have open or unhealed wounds should see a physician should they believe they were exposed to the parasite, Hohenhaus said.
The outbreak is not expected to cause beef prices — which are already at an all-time high — to increase, the experts said.
The current drought conditions in the U.S. is making it difficult to expand herds because there isn’t enough grass available to feed on, Pendell said, adding that hay and other supplemental feeds increase costs even more.
In addition, geopolitical issues, such as the war in Iran, are causing fertilizer and fuel costs to increase, William Secor, a livestock economist at the University of Georgia, told ABC News.
“Cattle prices are going to continue to be high for quite a while because of these issues,” Pendell said.
However, the costs from the screwworm will be absorbed by producers, and consumers will likely not see any further price increases from the outbreak alone, Secor said.

(NEW YORK) — The top national soccer teams from countries around the world have traveled to North America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off Thursday, and are preparing for a packed schedule of matches in cities across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
As Argentina looks to defend their championship title and fans prepare to watch all the on-pitch action for the expanded 48-team tournament, here’s a rundown of what you need to know about the draw format, host cities, schedules and more.
How many teams are competing in World Cup?
There are 12 groups of four teams representing 48 nations — 16 more than the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
When do World Cup matches start?
The group stage begins Thursday, June 11, when Mexico hosts South Africa for the World Cup opener at the historic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
There will be an opening ceremony at 1:30 p.m. local time, and the match kicks off at 3 p.m.
There are 104 games to be played throughout the tournament, spanning 39 days.
The U.S. Men’s National Team plays its first 2026 World Cup game against Paraguay on Friday, June 12, with a 6 p.m. scheduled kickoff time at SoFi Stadium in California.
What are the U.S. host cities for FIFA World Cup?
Atlanta; Boston; Dallas and Houston, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri; Los Angeles; Miami; “New York New Jersey” (East Rutherford, New Jersey); Philadelphia; Seattle; and the San Francisco Bay Area will all play host to the 2026 World Cup.
World Cup draw explained: Format, groups and schedule
At the World Cup draw in December, teams were separated into 12 groups, labeled A-L.
The U.S. was placed into Group D alongside Australia, Paraguay, and Turkey, which earned the final spot in the group after a win over Kosovo in the UEFA playoffs in March.
In the group stage of the tournament, all teams are guaranteed three matches — one against every team in its group — with the top two teams from each guaranteed to advance. The eight best third-place teams will also advance. Other teams are eliminated.
With the expanded tournament this year, 32 surviving teams will make it out of the group stage and into single-elimination series of winner-take-all matches, known as the knockout round, all the way to the final.
In this stage, matches that result in a tie after full time will have 30 minutes of added time split in two 15-minute halves and a penalty shootout decider.
The round of 16 will take place July 4-7.
The first quarterfinal match is at Boston Stadium on July 9 in Foxborough, Massachusetts, followed by a match at SoFi Stadium Inglewood, California, on July 10. July 11 will see quarterfinal matches at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, and Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
Semifinals matches will be played July 14 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and July 15 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
When is the World Cup final?
The World Cup final will take place July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, at MetLife Stadium, referred to in this tournament as New York New Jersey Stadium.
Who are the defending World Cup champions and favorites to watch this year? Argentina, led by star forward Lionel Messi, is currently ranked No. 1, according to FIFA.
Spain, France, England and Portugal follow in sequence to round out the Top 5 spots ahead of the World Cup kickoff.
According to the latest expert power rankings released by ESPN on Tuesday, which were assembled by a 20-person voting panel, Spain — with its 18-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal — is the top team to watch this year.

(LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.) — Crews have suspended the search for a missing 5-year-old girl who was swept away in the ocean in Laguna Beach, California, the Coast Guard said on Thursday, as the mayor called the situation “heartbreaking.”
The girl went missing at about 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday near Treasure Island Beach, Laguna Beach officials said. She was with her mother and a sibling near the shoreline when the three of them were swept into the ocean by powerful water conditions, the city officials said.
Bystanders ran into the ocean and were able to rescue the mother and one of her children, but the 5-year-old remained missing, officials said.
The search and recovery effort continued on Wednesday, with rescuers working “under challenging and hazardous ocean conditions, including large surf, powerful currents, and limited underwater visibility,” city officials said.
The search ended Wednesday evening after rescuers worked more than 30 hours and covered more than 90 square miles, the Coast Guard announced.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the child’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” Capt. Stacey Crecy, commander of Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach, said in a statement. “Suspending a search is an extremely difficult decision.”
“This is one of the most heartbreaking incidents I have witnessed during my time serving this community,” Laguna Beach Mayor Mark Orgill said in a statement. “Our hearts go out to the young victim’s family, friends, and all those affected by this tragic loss.”
“I am incredibly proud of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by our Marine Safety, Fire, and Police personnel, as well as every agency that assisted in this effort,” the mayor added. “These men and women put themselves in harm’s way, entering the same dangerous ocean conditions in an attempt to bring this young girl home to her family.”
