If you don't have tickets to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's River Tour 2016, you can at least see the Boss twice on TV this week.
He's scheduled to appear as a guest on NBC's "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" on Thursday, Dec. 17, according to the network. Springsteen is also the the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" on Saturday, Dec. 19.
Comedic actor Jeffrey Tambor is also a guest on Fallon on Thursday and the musical guest is country singer Chris Stapleton. Of course, the last time Springsteen was on The Tonight Show, he and Fallon dressed up like "Born in the U.S.A." Bosses and sang "Governor Christie Traffic Jam" to the tune of "Born to Run."
What's in store this time? Maybe a "River" parody taking aim of Donald Trump?
Springsteen released a box set treatment for his 1980 double album "The River" called "The Ties That Bind: The River Collection" on Friday, Dec. 4. The River Tour begins Saturday, Jan. 16 in Pittsburgh and area shows include Sunday, Jan 31 at the Prudential Center in Newark; Sunday, Jan. 24 and Wednesday, Jan. 27 at Madison Square Garden in New York City and Friday, Feb. 12 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
