The announcement was made on X (formerly Twitter) and establishes a festive atmosphere for the evening, which will also feature guest appearances by Kristen Wiig and Ashton Kutcher, along with a musical performance by Ty Meyers. Fans are particularly eager to hear the duo perform the song “Free,” which is connected to their characters.
