Jon Bon Jovi couldn’t have predicted this career move when he first sang about Tommy working down at the dock: The ageless hair rocker has been named NBC’s first artist in residence.
Over the next two months, Jon, 47, will appear exclusively on NBC Universal shows including the Today show, The Tonight Show, The Jay Leno Show and Saturday Night Live.
He’ll also pop up on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, reports the New York Times, as well as Inside the Actors Studio on NBC-owned Bravo.
New Jersey’s second favorite son releases his new album The Circle on Nov. 10.
“Of course you usually try to be out there everywhere when a new album is coming out,” explains the “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” singer.
Always charitable, Jon’s next venture is a Robin Hood restaurant in Red Bank, N.J. to “give families the dignity of sitting and being served a meal,” he says, even if they can’t afford it.
I have been a fan since Runaway, and I’ve watched him grow into a really fine human being, Rock Star…Sports Owner,,family man, and he is always doing charitable things..hes great!!!
I love Jon! i grew up in the 80’s listening and going to Bon Jovi concerts. so refreshing to hear when celebs give back! he is awesome!
I was born the same year Runaway hit No 1. I am a huge Bon Jovi for morereasons than I can explain. He is a famliy man. He has never had to sell out or put anyone down to stay ahead of the game. I own every album and will continue to support all the new ones in the future. This is one band I don’t mind spending my money to support. Oh and it doesn’t hurt that he has the best voice ever!
What can I say….Jon and the whole Bon Jovi band are just like wine…they get better with age!!!!! I have loved them since I was 12…I’m now 35 years old and still in love….Can’t wait until we can go to another concert…
