Free and A.J. both posted on their Instagram accounts about their return to the BET stage:
When the transition to online was announced, Stephen Hill, BET's president of music programming and specials, had this to say about the show:
AJ accepting Janet Jacksonβs challenge to β¦ dance. Bow Wow laying that kiss on Tyra Banks (or was it the other way around?). Free crawling around the set LIKE Catwoman WITH Catwoman Halle Berry. Julissaβs taking over Halloween as βWonder Woman.β Keshia brilliantly bonding with First Lady Michelle Obama. Paigion flying around the world with Rihanna on a 777. Rocsi salsa dancing with Victor Cruz and putting him to shame. Shorty and Ms. Mykieβs killer rap, βThe History of Justin Timberlake,β [visibly] thrilling JT himself. Terrence beatboxing while Jamie Foxx rhymed. Tigger making Tom Cruise do the of-the-moment βmotorcycle dance.β
We all have our favorite moments from the show that has put youth culture on television daily since the first year of this century. We have pride in being involved with the show that has welcomed almost every movie star, music superstar and fresh-faced talent you can name (you can even throw in a first lady). Weβve all laughed with and been entertained by the young men and women hosts that have charmed us at 6 p.m. (and more recently 5 p.m.) each weekday.
All of us have been touched by 106 & Park.
106 & Parkβs final daily on-air show airs Friday at 6 p.m. EST on BET.
