My life just flew by. I remember having the single tape to this and playing it out. I LOVED JOEY! I had his poster on my wall, and I would kiss it goodnight. WHAT A LIL NERD! Ridiculous! Watching this brings back the memories I felt at the time. Being little, and just carefree. With no bills, and just happy at Christmas time! Thanks for posting this.
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. No joke. It looks like the beginning was choreographed but after about 2 minutes into it, it turned to straight kid dancing. And when Arsenio stepped in it descended into pure anarchy. Pure, sweet, candy-flavored anarchy. Jordan and Joe's dancing is particularly hilarious. There just isn't enough space in this comment box for me to fully discuss how much I love this, and why. I LOVE THIS.
Used to rewind my vhs recording of this every day after school. Then some days my friend would come over after school,and we’d walk in , get snacks and put this on about 50 times lol. Especially the Jordan part . I’m a Joe girl but was all Jordan at that moment , but Joey came back strong a lil bit after lol my grandmom would walk in with a smile saying “ again ?” Lol . This blockhead will never get tired of this or anything of theirs for that matter!
JONATHAN KNIGHT SUFFERED FROM ANXIETY & STAGE FRIGHT. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THEY RETIRED AND DISBANDED IN THE MID 90'S. ALSO, DONNIE & JOE WERE STARTING TO GET INTO ACTING AND DANNY & JORDAN DID A FEW SOLO PROJECTS AS WELL AS WRITE & PRODUCE FOR OTHER ARTISTS. THIS WAS THE GOLDEN AGE OF BOY BANDS AND REAL ARTISTS. THEY COULD SING, DANCE WRITE THEIR ON SONGS AND PLAY INSTRUMENTS. SAY WHAT YOU WILL BUT THEY WERE AWESOME. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I'M VISUALLY IMPAIRED.
+magic heats REALLY, I GUESS YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A CONCERT. THEY SOLD MORE UNITS THAN ANY BOY BAND IN THE 90'S AND CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL TOGETHER AND ON SOLO PROJECTS AS WELL AS NON ENTERTAINMENT VENTURES. THEY ARE STILL TOURING AND SELLING OUT MAJOR STADIUMS TODAY AND A VERY SUCCESSFUL FAN CRUISE YEARLY. HOWEVER, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION. PEACE TO YOU.
babd71 Belive me when I say they were more image then anything. Alot groups Co - write & help produce their material. But Nkotb can't sing they couldn't even sing acapella to save their little lives their not a Vocal group!! Even back in their prime they lip sync alot & were accused for it it's not hard to see why their live performance here is just them trying to rap more of a cover up cause they can't sing!! Jordan was ok but together they sucked. It's no wonder Backstreet Boys dissed them when they first started out that's right BSB smashed Nkotb in album sales they actually top the list & they were a 90s group. Nsync, BSB & 98 degrees would dismantle Nkotb vocally it's no contest because they were true vocal groups & all 3 groups took after their predecessors before them like Jodeci, Boys 2 men, Shai, Temptations etc of being a vocal group first a trait sadly Nkotb never had & that's fact!! BSB now even not at their best still far better than Nkotb. Nsync & BSB were the total package Nkotb well they did their thing.
I remember talking with Jordan on the phone about this performance back in 93, it was a very fond memory for him. When seeing it again after so many years, it's easy to see why, they were on fire that night! Lookin' forward to supportin' my fellow Boston lads again this year when they once again take the world by storm thus givin' some great vibes and values back 2 a world that so very much needs again what we all stood for back in the late 80's when new kids rocked, lots of peace and love!
I had this taped on a VCR tape 100 years ago, I'm not kidding I probably watched it 5000 times. I NEVER noticed Jon wasn't there until just now! I guess it was Jordan's lack of a shirt melting my brain!
Thank you for posting and adding this video. I enjoyed the New Kids. I still enjoy them now as solo artists. Thank you for adding and I added it to my favorites.
Sorry, I hit the wrong button. wanted to press "thumbs up". I still remember the words too. lol. and it's been so long. they are legends in their own way.
THIS IS STILL THE SHIT... Wish we could get the whole show... Mr Hall the BEST and can rock on stage anytine.... Saw them with BSB and they blew BSB away!
Remember when you could call the 1-900 number and it was a recorded message of them? I knew my mom couldn’t afford it but I just had to hear what they were saying. It was only 1 minute. I got in so much trouble when the phone bill came. Lol those were the days
OMG!!!!! DO U KNOW HOW LONG I've SEARCHED FOR THIS????? I ONLY GOT TO SEE LIKE 2mins OF IT WHEN IT AIRED!!!! I CRIED CUZ I MISSED IT!!!! THANK U FOR POSTING IT!!!!!
One of the best for me batman soundtrack n this my dad threw the coolest Christmas party for 4 kids n family he even tolerated my 3 sisters Christmas mix tape with this!!! 😎 wi 89
I woke up today and for some reason I thought of NKOTB on Arsenio Hall(which I'm surprised I remembered it because I was like 3 at the time). But I remembered I had it taped on VHS and I wanted to see it, but I was like let me just see if You Tube has it and they do. This just put a huge smile on my face lol. I was so in love with Jordan, but now that I'm older Donnie is more my type lol. I should go through all my old tapes and post them on here.
Ohhhh! I remember this! We taped it and watched it over and over again! I remember laughing at the dance moves they break out in right before Danny's solo part. The part where Donnie is gyrating his hips really fast! LOL
New kids on the block minus one! I wrongfully subject my husband to this song every christmas...I'm so evil!! Thanks for posting this-great memories!!!
LOL this is by far my favorite christmas song i love it, its too funny and its different from all those other boring xmas tunes. thanks for adding this i have never seen it before :D
**i don't know about you guys, but I love when santa claus is told to kick the ballistics.** This comment made completely LOL IRL. :D Jordan's just too, TOO much during this performance, which I watched and recorded when it happened. LOVE IT!
linda epoca gracias por haber regresado nkotb los quiero mucho a todos y jordan knight no hay nadie que iguale su voz es unica y linda cuando entona los agudos graves
@jesseycakes I had to pretend that I was asleep because it was a "school night". Then I had to be really quiet watching it because my grandparents room was right under mine!
"Jordan and Jon, Yeah c'mon" except Jon wasn't there that night. Too bad for me, he was always my favorite. I still have the cassette, just no player to play it anymore...
@cagekitten2008 LOL, he did mess up, it's too cute. :) To me, it stood out more because Jordan hits his move PERFECTLY when he gets back in line in the previous verse...LOLOLOL. Love these guys!
Hey everyone I'm a really big NKOTB fan I met them I ask that same Question And Danny and donnie both told me He Had his tonsils out that day couldn't be their.
Ummm no... He didn't think he should be out there since he doesn't rap and didn't want to learn the choreo. They revealed this fact on their live stream today.
Omg OMG such awesome memories!!!! The moment Jordan rips his jacket down......OMG!!!
Both the 12 yrs old and 43 in me are so happy!!
Man, they were on FIRE that night, lol!!! I will always remember staying up late for this tv appearance. Thanks for posting! :)
I recorded this and watched it a million times. Brings back such great memories
Same. And danced and danced.
Jordan Knight sexy hot

OMG I am offically 13 years old again watching this with my cousin at my grandmothers house!!! Good Lawd I love these boys STILL!!!!!!!
nkotb are soo unique because they interact with their fans so much, and they always give an awesome show

SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I'M VISUALLY IMPAIRED.
These guys never could sing weren't even close to being vocal group like other 90s groups.

+magic heats THAT'S WHY TBSB NEEDED NKOTB TO TOUR WITH SO THEY COULD SELL OUT CONCERTS. IT'S OK.
+babd71 It's ok Nkotb still could never Harmonize & sing!! BSB don't need Nkotb they still sell well.

i actually missed this. Thanks for posting..that was awesome and hilarious. Arsenio joining in..very entertaining!
I love this. I remember Jordan's dancing was always fun to watch and even more fun trying to immitate. Thanks for uploading. :)
I had this taped on a VCR tape 100 years ago, I'm not kidding I probably watched it 5000 times. I NEVER noticed Jon wasn't there until just now! I guess it was Jordan's lack of a shirt melting my brain!
Didn’t notice Jon missing…no one did😂
Jon must have ran away with Jordan's shirt. Wow - such a blast from the past. Go Arsenio - whoot whoot
I remember this!!!! I was to young to stay up and watch this so my mum taped it for me. Me and my cousin watched over and over again.
I don't know about you guys, but "Funky Funky Christmas" has always been a yuletide favourite at my family's Christmas.
Thank you for posting and adding this video. I enjoyed the New Kids. I still enjoy them now as solo artists. Thank you for adding and I added it to my favorites.

This some Funky Funky Nostalgia
I woke up today and for some reason I thought of NKOTB on Arsenio Hall(which I'm surprised I remembered it because I was like 3 at the time). But I remembered I had it taped on VHS and I wanted to see it, but I was like let me just see if You Tube has it and they do. This just put a huge smile on my face lol. I was so in love with Jordan, but now that I'm older Donnie is more my type lol. I should go through all my old tapes and post them on here.

LOL this is by far my favorite christmas song i love it, its too funny and its different from all those other boring xmas tunes. thanks for adding this i have never seen it before :D
@1:06, one NKOTB member is shirtless, alright. Back when girls love NKOTB before BSB, New Edition, N'Sync, BTR, and BTS were boy bands in the future.
